Equipment with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact
(rst code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code
digit). That is why this equipment can also be used outdoors. Event technology equipment is
generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent
use outdoors.
The specied protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the
equipment (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the eects of sun‐
light and UV rays).
The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a
fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time.
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.
