For example: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Dusty Environments<\/strong> &#8211; Industrial settings can be filled with dust or tiny particles. Here an IP65 rated light would be sufficient as it provides dust protection while still delivering reliable operation of the electrical components.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Wet or Splash-prone Areas<\/strong> &#8211; IP65 is also suitable for this environment if the product is exposed to occasional water spray. For more direct water jets at higher pressure, a higher liquid protection (e.g. IP67) may be required.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Harsh Washdown Environments<\/strong> &#8211; IP69K lights are designed for high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns (e.g. in pharmaceutical or food production where equipment is frequently cleaned with high-pressure water jets and steam). <\/p>\n<p><strong>Environments with Oil or Chemicals<\/strong> &#8211; IP ratings do not cover oil\/lubricants\/chemical exposure, so extra care is needed. TPL Vision products should only be exposed to liquids covered under the IP testing standard (water) unless otherwise stated in the datasheet.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Outdoor Use<\/strong> &#8211; IP ratings alone do not guarantee suitability for outdoor conditions, including rain, UV exposure, or extreme temperatures. Only products explicitly rated for outdoor use should be deployed in these environments.  <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e92e0f1 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e92e0f1\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b6e104\" data-id=\"7b6e104\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-defe43e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"defe43e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">IP Ratings for TPL Vision Products<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4666414 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4666414\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All new products from TPL Vision are rated to IP65 as standard (unless otherwise stated) &#8211; providing dust tight protection and low-pressure water jet protection. Some older products do have a lower rating, so it is important to consider this when choosing your illumination product. Importantly, ingress protection does not mean the product can be exposed to oil and lubricants as the properties are different from water. Oil, lubricants and other non-water liquid substances are not covered under warranty unless otherwise stated in the product datasheet.
