The IP protection index is an international standard. This index classifies the level of protection offered by equipment against intrusions by solids (e.g. dust) and liquids (e.g. water, oil).

Code number one indicates protection against solid objects, while code number two indicates protection against liquids.

The table below expresses international protection classes according to DIN EN60529 (IEC529/VDE 047 T1).

Why Optical Lenses Matter in Refrigerated Display Lighting — And Why Standard T8/T5 Tubes Fall Short

Lighting inside refrigerated display cases is far more complex than general room illumination. Supermarkets and convenience stores need lighting that not only makes food look fresh and appealing but also performs reliably in cold, humid environments. Unlike bare LED tubes that emit light in all directions, optical lenses precisely control the beam angle, directing light toward the merchandise rather than wasting it on the back panel or into the customer’s eyes.
