INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting fixture can be installed in outdoor environments and has been designed
with an enclosure that effectively protects the ingress (entry) of external foreign objects such
as dust and water. The International Protection (IP) rating system is commonly expressed as
"IP" followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the degree of protection.
The first digit (Foreign Bodies Protection) indicates the extent of protection against particles
entering the fixture, and the second digit (Water Protection) indicates the extent of protection
against water entering the fixture.
An IP65 rated lighting fixture has been designed and tested to protect against the ingress of
dust (6) and water jets from any direction (5).
MARINE/COASTAL ENVIRONMENT INSTALLATIONS
Please note although this fixture is IP rated, the fixture is NOT suitable for marine and/or
coastal environment installations. Installing this fixture in a marine and/or coastal environment
may cause corrosion and/or excessive wear to the interior and/or exterior components of the
fixture. Damages and/or performance issues resulting from installation in a marine and/or
coastal environment will void the manufacturer's warranty and will NOT be subject to any
warranty claims and/or repairs.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
A qualified electrician should be used for all electrical connections and/or
installations.
ENSURE ALL CONNECTIONS AND END CAPS ARE PROPERLY SEALED WITH A
NON-CONDUCTIVE DIELECTRIC GREASE (AVAILABLE AT MOST ELECTRICAL
SUPPLIERS) TO PREVENT WATER INGRESS/CONDENSATION AND/OR CORROSION.
TO MAINTAIN IP65 RATING INTEGRITY AND PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING
THE FIXTURE, ALL UNUSED CONNECTION RUBBER CAPS AND GLANDS MUST BE
INSERTED/SEALED.
