Sammode Impervious Weatherproof Ratings – IP68 and IP69K Explained

Published: 14 August 2015 Category: Manufacturer News

As a specialist in technical lighting, Sammode Lighting Australasia is dedicated to manufacturing and supplying luminaires that meet the highest quality and technical standards.

Sammode Impervious Weatherproof Ratings – IP68 and IP69K Explained

All luminaires are designed so as to obtain an exceptional lifespan under extreme conditions with minimal maintenance requirements. 

One strong feature is the imperviousness of all luminaires in the range that are rated IP66, IP68 and IP69K. These very high weatherproof ratings ensure each luminaire is absolutely water and dust tight (IP66) and is able to be continuously submerged in water (IP68) to maintain performance over the operational life.

Each luminaire will also withstand high pressure jet cleaning (IP69K). IP69K is a relatively new rating to the Australian and New Zealand market with some misunderstanding about what it exactly covers.

To foster better understanding of these ratings, Sammode Lighting has published an informative document that explains the difference between IP68 and IP69K which actually originate from different standards.
