Understanding IP and IK Ratings
The IP or "Ingress Protection" ratings are an industry recognised system of determining an enclosures and/or cases protection against dirt and moisture. These IP ratings are internationally defined in the EN 60529 (British BS EN 60529:1992, European IEC 60509:1989), and the IK ratings in the EN 62262 (British BS En 62262:2002, European IEC 62262 Ed. 1.0 B:2002) standards.

Without light, it would be impossible to view the world around us. Light illuminates objects for us to see and the spectrum emitted by a light source provides the colour in these objects. Variants of color offers advantages for different lighting applications. The lighting industry uses several tools-Kelvin, CCT, CRI, R-values and TM-30-to describe colour characteristics and light quality.
Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) is a metric used to describe the hue and warmth of a light source, measured in Kelvin (K). It has a significant impact on the appearance of objects and the ambience of a space. In this article, we’ll explore the differences in CCT, its applications, and how to choose the right color temperature for various situations.
In 1931, the CIE (Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage, International Commission on Illumination) defined a standard for scientifically quantifying the physical properties of colors. The CIE color space describes the human eye's response to visible light and our perception of color for distributions of wavelengths.
