Question 1

What’s IK impact resistance?

Accepted Answer

IK impact resistance, or ‘impact protection’, is a numerical rating that measures the degree to which a product can withstand a mechanical impact.IK ratings range from 00 to 10, with each rating representing a higher Joule (J) of impact energy tolerance. The higher the number, the more impact protection the product provides.

Question 2

IK or IP rating of LED lamps?

Accepted Answer

The IP rating refers to water and dust resistance, while the IK rating refers to impact resistance.IP stands for Ingress Protection, which evaluates a product's ability to resist liquids and solids from entering its internal components. On the other hand, the IK rating evaluates a product's ability to withstand physical impact. The K stands for ‘kinetic energy’ in order to distinguish it from the IP rating.

Question 3

What is the highest IK rating?

Accepted Answer

The IK rating system is defined in the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62262 standard, and is of course mentioned in the relevant standard for LED luminaires (EN60598). It ranges from IK00 to IK10, with IK10 being the highest impact resistance rating, which represents a product's ability to withstand up to 20 joules (J) of impact energy, which is equivalent to the impact of a heavier object (e.g. a 5kg object dropped from a height of 400mm) on the product's housing.
