The Explanation of IP65

IP65 Rating: IP stands for "Ingress Protection," and it is followed by a two-digit number that indicates the level of protection a device has against solid objects and liquids. In the case of solar LED lights, IP65 is a common rating you may come across.

The IP65 rating consists of two parts: the first digit represents protection against solids, and the second digit represents protection against liquids.

For solids

Level 6: Complete protection against dust and other solid particles. The highest rating.

Level 5: Limited ingress of dust, but it should not interfere with the proper operation of the equipment.

Level 4: Some protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm in diameter (such as wires or small tools).

For liquids

Level 5: Protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction, but not immersion.

Level 6: Protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction, but not immersion.

Therefore, IP65 means the solar LED lights are completely protected against dust and have strong protection against low-pressure water jets. They are designed to withstand various weather conditions, making them suitable for outdoor use where they might be exposed to rain, snow, or dust.

Other IP ratings you may encounter for outdoor lights include IP67 and IP68, which indicate even higher levels of water and dust protection, including temporary immersion in water.

Keep in mind that while IP65 offers good protection, it's still essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding the proper usage and maintenance of solar LED lights to ensure their longevity and performance.
