First, the waterproof level of the light string is usually expressed in IP code, where IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection, which means "protection level". The IP code consists of two numbers, the first number indicates the dustproof level, and the second number indicates the waterproof level.
Secondly, the waterproof level starts from IPX0, which means no waterproof protection. This light string is only suitable for indoor dry environments and cannot be exposed to any water sources.
Next, the IPX1-rated light string can prevent the intrusion of water drops dripping from the vertical direction. This light string is suitable for indoor environments, but should be kept away from water sources, such as bathrooms, kitchens and other wet areas.
Then, the IPX4-rated light string can prevent splashing water from intruding from all directions. This light string is suitable for outdoor environments, such as balconies, terraces, etc., and can withstand rain splashing.
In addition, the IPX5-rated light string can prevent the intrusion of water from large waves and is suitable for outdoor environments with more rain, such as courtyards, gardens, etc. This light string can still work stably in the rain.
Furthermore, the IPX6-rated light string can prevent large waves from intruding into the water and is suitable for water activities such as swimming pools and beaches. It can withstand the impact of strong water flow and ensure the underwater lighting effect.
Finally, IPX7 and IPX8 ratings of light strings indicate no damage in short-term and long-term immersion in water, respectively. IPX7 is suitable for short-term environments that may be submerged in water, such as fountains, pools, etc.; while IPX8 is suitable for environments that are immersed in water for a long time, such as diving lights, underwater landscape lights, etc.
The waterproof level of light strings is clearly divided, and users should choose the appropriate waterproof level according to the specific use environment and needs.
