How to Choose Qualified IP65 Waterproof Panel Lights?

In some special lighting engineering projects, designers may require the use of high protection level IP65 LED panel lights in special application areas such as semi outdoor corridors, kitchens, toilets, pharmaceutical factories, indoor swimming pools, parking lots, and near central air conditioning exhaust outlets in offices.

There are many IP65 panel lights on the market that are claimed to be dazzling. How can the project party purchase suitable waterproof panel lights?

Lumin is a Chinese LED lighting manufacturer with 15 years of experience and a deep understanding of IP65 waterproof panel lights. Lumin's waterproof panel lights have Chinese appearance and new practical patents. We suggest that consumers should pay attention to the following points when purchasing and using IP65 waterproof panel lights:

Firstly, it is recommended to use reputable and professional manufacturers of LED panel lights.

A professional panel light manufacturer with strong research and development technology capabilities and rich production management capabilities. We can provide consumers with high-quality panel lighting solutions.

Lumin specializes in producing LED panel lights with a history of over 15 years. Lumin provides OEM and ODM services for LED panel lights to overseas lighting customers. The LuminLED panel light series is very complete, including side emitting ultra-thin 9mm panel lights, direct emitting 30mm economical panel lights, IP65 waterproof panel lights, upper and lower emitting LED panel lights, frameless design panel lights, narrow border design panel lights, intelligent control LED panel lights, DALI dimming \ 0-10V \ thyristor \ WiFi \ Zigbee \ Casambi \ Tuaya BLUETOTH LED panel lights, DC24 constant voltage LED panel lights, square panel lights, circular panel lights, American standard panel lights, German standard panel lights, high-efficiency panel lights, high color rendering panel lights, near solar spectrum health panel lights, blue sky and white cloud panel lights, and customized panel lights with irregular shapes.

Lumin's full range of LED panel lights can meet the diverse needs of customers.

Secondly, the industrial design of IP65 waterproof panel lights must be perfect.

IP65 waterproof panel lights are different from ordinary LED panel lights because they will be used in harsh humid and dusty environments.

For side emitting ultra-thin panel lights, the optical material inside is usually a PMMA light guide plate, which is very sensitive to humid air. In humid air environments, PMMA will absorb water and expand, which can cause the size of the LGP to be too large, squeezing the LED beads on both sides and causing damage to the fluorescent powder on the LED surface, resulting in adverse phenomena such as blue light and non illumination. More seriously, in severely humid and dripping environments, PMMA LGP may be damaged and unable to guide light, resulting in serious product quality problems.

Lighting designers and consultants need to consider potential issues in these applications. The Lumin engineering team has improved the problem of bulky and poorly waterproof panel lights through careful research and innovative structural design using aluminum extruded profiles. In addition to structural design, waterproof technology and processes in the production process also need to be applied more accurately in order to ensure the delivery of a high-quality IP65 panel light to consumers.

Thirdly, IP65 waterproof panel lights must be certified by authoritative third-party testing structures.

For many manufacturers who claim to have IP65 waterproof panel lights, buyers need to be cautious. Due to the lack of rigorous third-party testing and certification, self proclaimed results are generally not satisfactory.

Passing the IP65 certification test means that this rating indicates that the lamp can be completely dust-proof and withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction (such as rainwater, sprinklers, etc.), making it suitable for outdoor dusty and humid environments.  

‌

The general standard for IP65 waterproof testing is as follows: a 12.5mm water nozzle should be used to spray a 100L/min water flow at a distance of 3 meters for 3 minutes, and there should be no water ingress or harmful effects inside the LED panel light.  ‌

IP65 dustproof test: Adopting a completely dustproof design, dust cannot enter the interior of the LED panel light.  ‌

Lumin waterproof panel lights have been tested under strict testing standards by third-party testing agencies, achieving IP65 standards and obtaining authoritative waterproof test reports, CE LVD, EMC, and ROHS certifications.

Fourthly, it is recommended that the purchasing party follow the procurement standard process, purchase samples first, test and evaluate the samples, and only after passing the project party's evaluation and testing can large-scale purchases be made.

In addition to meeting the IP65 protection standard, LED panel lights also need to comprehensively consider other parameter standards of the product, such as color rendering index, color tolerance, light efficiency, and light uniformity.

Lumin recommends purchasing comprehensive evaluation suppliers to assess their overall capabilities and whether they can meet certification standards, in order to purchase qualified LED waterproof panel lights.

Lumin is willing to share more knowledge about LED lighting technology to help everyone buy better LED IP65 panel light.
