Here is detailed information about the use of fan lights outdoors:
1. Waterproof level
IP rating: When selecting a fan light, check its Ingress Protection Rating. Common waterproofing levels include:
IP65: Dust-proof and can withstand water jets, suitable for most outdoor environments.
IP67: dustproof and can be immersed in water for a short time, suitable for places near water sources.
2. Materials
Weather-resistant materials: Choose fan lights made from aluminum alloy, stainless steel, or high-quality plastics that can resist corrosion and oxidation.
UV Resistant: Make sure lampshades and other components are UV resistant to prevent fading or damage caused by sunlight exposure.
3. Installation location
Avoid severe weather: Try to install the fan light in a sheltered place, such as under the eaves, balcony or terrace, to reduce the risk of direct exposure to wind and rain.
Height: Installing in a higher position can reduce the impact of wind on the lamp.
