What does IP rating mean? Is this light suitable for my bathroomUpdated 8 months ago
An IP rating is used to define levels of resistance or sealing effectiveness against moisture, dust and dirt. There are many factors to take into account when considering what level of IP-rated light an area will require which is why we always advise our customers to consult a qualified electrician if they are unsure.
If a light is IP-rated this will be stated in the product description, depending on the IP-rating of a light fitting will determine the positioning of lighting. Please see the attached IP-rating diagram below to help.
