IP65 or higher is the current standard for commercial use.What should be considered as adequate IP rating for greenhouses/grow rooms? I'm thinking IP46 and more would be sufficient. Opinions?

whats the ip level of apache ?IP65 or higher is the current standard for commercial use.
thanks for the info. so far i know only Osram ZELION and spectrumkingled has Ip65IP65 or higher is the current standard for commercial use.
UL damp location. Never went in for IP.whats the ip level of apache ?
All depends on the country/state/city/county regulations and the inspector.thanks for the info. so far i know only Osram ZELION and spectrumkingled has Ip65
For some reason I thought for commercial use 'UL Damp Rating' was more important than IP rating.
Bingo! When in doubt...do them all. What could be more better than being able to saying..."Ya, I'd let my baby take a bath with it; it's that safe. "...or use both... UL Damp Rating and IP Rating too...
what brand LED were these under brother? these girls are looking mighty fine!It's week six of flower and everyone is finally starting to fatten up.

Thanks. They were under a couple of old A51 and Vipar panels.what brand LED were these under brother? these girls are looking mighty fine!
For those who haven't seen this. It may be posted somewhere but I bet some peeps haven't read this. Not marijuana specific but interesting nonetheless.

Spectral Effects of Three Types of White Light-emitting Diodes on Plant Growth and Development:
Absolute versus Relative Amounts of Blue Light
Abstract
..............These results confirm and extend the results of other studies indicating that light quantity
and quality interact to determine plant morphology. The optimal amount of blue light
likely changes with plant age because plant communities balance the need for rapid leaf
expansion, which is necessary to maximize radiation capture, with prevention of
excessive stem elongation. A thorough understanding of this interaction is essential to
the development of light sources for optimal plant growth and development.
that vyperx looks interesting.A peak at the new Fluence Bioengineering / BML SpydrX and VyprX
It's strange to see "bioengineering" in the company name. Comes across half-baked, ha ha. I've worked with a number of bioengineers and I don't intend to pigeonhole the term but it's usually used for a different field of work. I suppose we can broadly use many terms, so we'll chalk it up to creative license (aka - attempting to win over weekend scientists)A peak at the new Fluence Bioengineering / BML SpydrX and VyprX
I've been thinking...I can do IP65 (probably even 67) on everything except power socket (C13-C14 currently)IP65 or higher is the current standard for commercial use.

What socket is used in commercial lights which have IP65+ (or UL Damp locations)?
All I could think of was not to use a socket and have the power cord hard wired, going through the panel with the help of a cable gland.

In my experience, 'leave it to the end user' is a bad engineering approachmy illumitex comes with a heavy duty 6' power cable attached and sealed.
optionally you could provide a sealed junction box plus and leave it for the end user to wire the power cable into the junction box.
agree, but its commonly done for the final wiring hookup in industrial\commercial situations, since they often want to wire directly rather than use a plug.In my experience, 'leave it to the end user' is a bad engineering approach
