Are LED Floodlights Waterproof?
Yes, LED floodlights are designed to be waterproof, making them ideal for outdoor use in various weather conditions. The waterproof rating of an LED floodlight is indicated by its IP rating:
- IP65 – Water-resistant; protects against rain and dust (ideal for outdoor use).
- IP66 – High resistance to heavy rain and water jets.
- IP67 – Fully waterproof; can withstand temporary submersion.
- IP68 – Fully submersible in water (used in extreme conditions).
For home security, gardens, and driveways, an IP65-rated LED floodlight is sufficient. However, for commercial and industrial environments exposed to heavy rain or water jets, IP66 or higher is recommended.
