INTRODUCTION
Congratulations, you have just purchased one of the most innovative and reliable lighting fixtures
on the market today! The SIXPAR 300IP™ has been designed to perform reliably for years when the

carefully and thoroughly before attempting to operate this unit. These instructions contain important
information regarding safety during use and maintenance.
IP65
IP65 RATED
An IP rated lighting fixture is one that is commonly 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"
(Ingress Protection) followed by two numbers (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the degree of pro-
tection. 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 is one that has been designed and tested
to protect against the ingress of dust (6) and low-pressure water jets from any direction (5).
