What does IP65 mean for lighting fixtures?

IP65 is an ingress protection rating indicating that a fixture is fully dust-tight (the "6") and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction (the "5"). In practical terms, an IP65-rated lighting fixture can be deployed outdoors in rain, dust, wind, and variable weather conditions without damage.

IP65 fixtures are essential for outdoor festivals, concert stages, architectural installations, and any deployment where weather exposure is possible. The Elation Proteus Maximus (50,000 lumens, full profile feature set) and the Ayrton Perseo Beam are among 4Wall's IP65-rated moving light options designed for outdoor rental applications.
