When is IP65 emergency lighting useful?
IP65 stands for a high degree of protection against dust and water jets.That is important if your emergency lighting is used not only in dry indoor spaces, but also in damp areas, cellars, or industrial environments.
What to look out for when choosing
Operating mode, battery, and emergency duration
Check whether non-maintained or maintained operation is required. Also pay attention to the battery and the emergency lighting duration, so that the fixture continues to function long enough in the event of a power outage. Models with a self-test feature make maintenance easier. Suitable replacement and backup batteries for compliant maintenance can be found under Emergency power batteries for emergency lighting.
Installation and fixture type
Depending on the application, an emergency luminaire or an escape route luminaire with a pictogram is more suitable. Wall or ceiling mounting, the shape of the housing, and good visibility along the escape route or in open areas are also important.
Degree of protection and installation location
For damp rooms, the degree of protection is particularly relevant. IP65 is suitable for many demanding environments, but must always be matched to the installation location, temperature, and structural requirements. A quick selection guide can be found in the guide Which IP rating do you need?
What to consider during planning and regulations
Depending on the building, technical regulations apply to planning and installation. Many relevant standards are DIN EN 1838, DIN VDE 0108-100, and DIN EN 60598-2-22. Sizing must be performed by qualified personnel. A compact overview of regulations, types, and installation can be found in All about emergency lighting - what you need to know.
