After the technology has gone so far that we are surrounded by it. LED Lighting fixtures have made our life so easier. They are not only just energy-efficient but also water-resistance as well.
Yes!!!

Now, it is the time that retail store operators are installing LED lighting source in their display refrigerators to enhance the visibility of the product. Only particular lighting product is suitable for these kinds of locations. “LED Cooler Tube” has been manufactured for installing in the damp and cool places.
Well, if talking about the IP ratings, it is formed with the two numbers and presented as an IPxx. these two Xs separate the level of protection such as protection against solid and liquids.
These ratings have some different classification mentioned below:
|
Level Of Protection |
Solid Protection |

This IP rating not only works for lighting appliance but also work for smartphone and fitness band as well.
Why LED Cooler Tube Need This IP Rating?
Before explaining why this cooler tube needs an IP rating, let us tell you that the ingress protection rating of this cooler tube. With the IP54 rating, you can install this tube in your refrigerator without any worry.
P.S. You can check this IP54 rating in the given chart.
As this tube has been manufactured for the cool and damp locations, you expect that your LED Cooler Tube lighting fixture doesn’t get fused after installation.
Reason Behind This IP54 Rating
- This cooler tube is for the damp location, so that fixture wouldn’t be affected by that kind of location.
- Any other fixture wouldn’t be right for that kind of location.
- After being too long in damp location the fixture doesn’t need any high-cost maintenance.
- The purpose behind this rating is to protect the fixture against the exposure of solid and water.
As the IP rating increases the level of protection.
In the end
LED Cooler tubes are safer to use in any location whether its damp or any other.
