When shopping for LED flood lights—especially for outdoor or industrial projects like tunnels, highmasts, tennis courts, or parking lots—you’ve likely come across the term “IP67” in product descriptions. But what does IP67 actually mean? And why is it such a critical feature for high-quality LED flood lights? If you care about quality, durability, reliability and getting the best value for your money then IP67 is something you want to know about when selecting your new light. At SNOOWEL, we are Professional LED Light Manufacturers with over 15 years of experience. That is why we designed our top-selling TN610 Series LED Flood Light to be IP67 rated (and much more) making it the perfect all around light for tough environments. In this article, we will discuss what an IP67 LED flood light is, go over what the IP rating system is and why you should want IP67 when buying your next light.
First: What Does IP67 Stand For? Decoding the IP Rating System
IP stands for “Ingress Protection” or International Protection Rating. This is a worldwide standard used to define how effective an electrical device (LED flood light) is at preventing foreign substances (solid such as dust/dirt) or liquids (water/rain) from entering and damaging the unit. An IP rating is made up of two numbers. The first number shows effectiveness against solids and second against liquids.
Let’s take a look at what IP67 means:
Let’s take a look at what IP67 means:
- First Digit (6): Dust Protection – A rating of 6 means the LED flood light is completely dust-tight. No dust, dirt, or solid particles can enter the housing, even in extremely dusty environments like construction sites, tunnels, or industrial yards. This prevents dust from clogging internal components (like drivers and LED chips) and causing overheating or failure.
- Second Digit (7): Water Protection – A rating of 7 means the light can withstand submersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. This goes far beyond basic rain resistance—it protects against heavy downpours, water splashes, temporary flooding, and even submersion (e.g., in puddles or during storm surges). For outdoor and industrial projects exposed to the elements, this level of water protection is non-negotiable.
In short: An IP67 LED flood light is built to survive the harshest environmental conditions—dust, rain, and even temporary water submersion—without compromising performance. This is why IP67 is the gold standard for high-quality LED flood lights used in outdoor, industrial, and commercial applications.
5 Key Reasons Why You Should Choose an IP67 LED Flood Light
Not all LED flood lights are IP67-rated—many low-cost options only offer IP44 (basic rain and dust resistance) or IP55 (limited dust and water protection). But for projects that demand reliability, IP67 is worth prioritizing. Here’s why, with real-world insights from SNOOWEL’s TN610 Series (our IP67 LED flood light designed for global clients).
1. Unmatched Durability in Harsh Environments
Outdoor and industrial environments are unforgiving: dust storms, heavy rain, humidity, and even accidental water exposure are common. A non-IP67 LED flood light will quickly degrade—dust clogs components, water seeps into the housing, and the light fails prematurely. An IP67 LED flood light, by contrast, is built to last.
SNOOWEL’s TN610 Series LED Flood Lights are engineered for maximum durability with IP67 protection, paired with a PC lens + tempering glass combination and a top-quality die casting aluminum body (IK09 standard). The IP67 sealing keeps dust and water out, while the die casting aluminum body resists corrosion and impact, and the dual-lens design prevents shattering and UV yellowing. This means the TN610 Series thrives in even the toughest environments—from dusty tunnels and storm-prone highmast sites to coastal parking lots (where saltwater spray is a threat). As a Greenism Practitioner, we design the TN610 to be long-lasting, reducing waste and aligning with sustainable development goals.
2. Reduced Maintenance Costs & Less Downtime
Frequent light failures due to dust or water damage lead to costly maintenance: replacement parts, labor fees, and unplanned downtime (critical for industrial projects like manufacturing yards or tunnels). An IP67 LED flood light minimizes these costs by eliminating dust and water-related failures.
The TN610 Series takes this a step further with premium components: INVENTRONICS, MEAN WELL, or SOSEN drivers and Lumileds LED chips, paired with IP67 protection, deliver a lifespan of over 50,000 hours and a 7-year warranty. SNOOWEL’s rigorous QC procedures ensure every TN610 light meets IP67 standards, so you won’t have to worry about replacing failed units due to dust or water intrusion. For global clients, this translates to significant savings on maintenance and downtime—one of the reasons we’re a trusted High-quality LED Lighting Supplier worldwide.
3. Versatility Across All Outdoor & Industrial Applications
IP67’s robust protection makes it suitable for all outdoor and industrial applications—from small gardens and billboards to large-scale tunnels and highmast lighting. A non-IP67 light limits your project options (e.g., you can’t use an IP44 light in a tunnel or coastal area), but an IP67 light adapts to any scenario.
The TN610 Series is incredibly versatile, with wide input voltage (100-277V AC, 347V AC, 480V AC) and a range of beam angles (20°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°, 120°, 40×110°, 60×120°, 90×120°, plus asymmetrical options). Combined with IP67 protection, this means it can be used for any project: narrow beam angles for highmast lighting, wide beams for squares, asymmetrical beams for streets, and everything in between. As a manufacturer specializing in high-end industrial and outdoor LED lighting, we designed the TN610 to be versatile enough to meet the needs of our global clients—regardless of their project type.
4. Protection Against Electrical Hazards
Water should never mix with electricity. A non-IP67 LED flood light that permits water entry can lead to short circuits, shocks, or fire hazards – all serious safety concerns for both workers and the public. IP67 prevents these dangers with its water-tight design.
At TN610 Series, safety is important which is why we don’t just offer IP67 protection, but also add surge protection of over 10KV (20KV option available). Our experienced R&D Team has developed numerous patents for both our products and technologies. During the development process of TN610, our team specifically engineered the electrical components to work in conjunction with its IP67 sealing so that water and dust cannot come in contact with any of your light’s electrical parts. With TN610, you can safely install your lights in wet conditions like parking lots, tunnels and outdoor sports facilities knowing your projects won’t face unexpected safety hazards.

5. Better Long-Term Value & ROI
IP67 LED flood lights cost a little more than non-IP67 lights. However, they provide much better value in the long run. Because they last longer and require less maintenance, you’ll save more money over time – and you’ll receive more dependable performance while you’re at it.
That’s the kind of value our TN610 Series was designed to provide. Not only does its IP67 rating allow you to use it in any condition, but its industrial-grade design and 7 year warranty means it will outlive any non-IP67 light by years. As a LED exporter who has shipped products to clients all over the world, we’ve witnessed how TN610’s IP67 rating has saved our customers money and time by not having to order new bulbs as frequently. We want to be your partner for a long time – and the TN610 is built to keep providing you value for years to come.
