Understanding IP20 and IP65 Ratings on LED Lights

When choosing LED lights, it’s not just about brightness or design — environmental durability plays a crucial role too. One of the most important specifications to consider is the IP Rating (Ingress Protection), which shows how well a light fixture resists dust and water.

Two of the most common IP ratings found in LED lighting products are IP20 and IP65. Understanding the difference between them helps you select the right type of light for your space, ensuring both efficiency and longevity.

What Is an IP Rating?

An IP Rating is an international standard that indicates how well an electrical device is protected against solid objects (like dust) and liquids (like water).
The IP code consists of two digits:

• The first digit (0–6) shows the level of protection against solid particles.
  
• The second digit (0–8) shows the level of protection against moisture or water.

The higher each number, the better the protection.

IP20: Best for Dry Indoor Areas

Lights with an IP20 rating are designed for use in dry, indoor environments. The number “2” means the light is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm (such as fingers), while the “0” means it offers no protection against water.

In short, IP20 lights should only be installed in areas with minimal exposure to moisture or dust. They’re ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or study areas.

in-Lite offers a wide range of IP20 lighting solutions — from LED bulbs and downlights to track lights — all designed for high energy efficiency, modern aesthetics, and comfortable visual performance. Choosing the right IP20 light ensures long-lasting use and creates a cozy, well-lit atmosphere in any interior space.

IP65: Dustproof and Waterproof, Perfect for Outdoor Use

Lights with an IP65 rating are built to withstand more demanding environments. The “6” signifies complete protection against dust, while the “5” means resistance to water jets from any direction.

This makes IP65-rated lights ideal for outdoor and humid areas, such as gardens, terraces, balconies, driveways, or even indoor spaces like bathrooms and commercial kitchens.
