IP Ratings in Stage Lighting: What They Really Mean…
The article demystifies IP ratings for stage lighting, explaining that higher numbers like IP65 aren’t simply better but involve trade‑offs. IP20 fixtures excel in airflow, cooling, and serviceability, making them ideal for controlled indoor venues. IP54 offers a middle ground with dust protection and enough ventilation for outdoor or semi‑covered events. IP65 provides full dust‑tight and water‑jet protection but can trap heat and moisture, leading to higher failure risk and maintenance complexity.
