IP65 vs IP67 Comparison
Water protection level selection.
IP65 survives water jets but not immersion; IP67 survives 30 minutes at one metre. Both are dust-tight, so the decision is about whether water can pool around the fixture.
| Comparison | Option A | Option B | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Water jets | Yes | Yes | Tie |
| Immersion | No | 1 m | IP67 |
| Typical use | Outdoor walls | In-ground | Application-dependent |
| Cost | Lower | Higher | IP65 |
Conclusion
Stay with IP65 for wall-mounted and pole-mounted fixtures where water drains away. Pay for IP67 only where the fixture sits in standing water or is regularly hosed down from every angle.
