For professional events organisers and lighting rental companies, the UK weather is always a problem. With a range of waterproof LED par cans now available, the stress of having water damaged lighting fixtures can be one less concern. Outdoor LED par can lights with IP65 rating allow for use as grounds lighting and architectural lighting, alongside outdoor weddings and promotional events that need to be able to carry on regardless of a summer downpour. Waterproof par can lights offer a powerful year-round solution to exterior wall lighting, popular with wedding venues and public buildings of interest such as Castles and National Heritage Sites.
Are LED Par Cans waterproof?
With an all-important IP65 rating, you can rest assured that these outdoor par cans mean they are guaranteed to be safe from rain showers and things like garden hoses or sprinkler systems. The IP65 rating includes total dust ingress protection and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This rating applies to the par can enclosure itself and not the internals, so does not include any form of submergence into liquids (you cannot put these units into a pond or lake). To gain this complete water-resistant rating, the Par Cans all feature specialised rubber DMX and Neutrik power connectors with sealing caps. We have selected 4 Outdoor Par Can Lights, all from the superb BeamZ Professional range, with the features and power ratings to suit a wide selection of events and architectural lighting requirements.
