The most important thing to remember is the higher the IP rating, the better protection of the light. For example, if you wish to light from inside a pond or water feature you will need to use a light with an IP rating of IP68 such as the Elipta Micro Underwater Light. If you are looking to light around a water feature, where the light is placed inside the splash zone, or lights fitted into water logged areas, you should consider lights with a minimum IP rating of IP67 like the Elipta Modula Recessed light.
Lights placed in the garden where irrigation is used you should be using lights with a minimum IP rating of IP65 like the Elipta Compact Spike Spotlight.
For other areas of the garden, such as pathways, patios and doorways, lights with a minimum rating of IP44 are safe to be used. Lights like the Elipta Microspot Up & Down Wall Light & Elipta Short Mushroom Light are both IP65 rated and ideal for lighting up any of these areas.
