Waterproof IP64 Uplighting
Waterproof LED lights can also be used in damp bathrooms and other wet rooms where the light may be exposed to moisture, such as those found in showers. The rating is based on how the device is protected against water ingress, which can range from being fully waterproof to being dust-tight and able to withstand low pressure jets of water.
How to choose the right lighting rentals for a wet environment
For general purpose outdoor or wet indoor use of such event lighting rentals, and in this case an IP44 rating is usually sufficient, although if the fixture is located in Zone 1 (above a bath or shower enclosure within 2.25m of the floor).
How to decide which level of protection is right for your project
A product with a higher IP rating will generally provide better waterproofing protection, including protection against water jets from every direction and more protection against solid particles. This means that it will be better suited to more wet conditions than an LED light with an IP44 rating, although you can expect a higher cost for this type of protection.
