The IP rating of LED emergency lights is the most common protection index for this type of luminaires. These are internationally defined standards, following the IEC 60529 standard, which evaluate and ensure the levels of protection of luminaires against the elements. The set of established standards is defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission. In Brazil, the degree of protection of these devices is also defined by NBR 6146.
Understanding the terminology
The acronym that determines the IP grade of emergency lights and other electronic products is composed of the initials IP, followed by two digits, such as: IP20, IP64, IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68, among others. In emergency lamps it is more common to find the following grades: IP67, IP66 and IP65.
Below, understand what each number indicates to guide you through your purchase.
Productive environments, such as industries and companies, but also residential ones, require adequate lighting so that the routine can develop as properly as possible. When we talk about companies, we have to think about water, dirt and debris that can hit these equipment. For condominiums, children's balls, people running or any other type of impact. For each situation, there is a different level of protection, and today, at Segurimax, we have created exclusive content so that you understand what IK means for emergency lights.

The meaning of the name The term "anti-panic" reflects the functional essence of these tools in emergency situations. In dangerous situations, such as fires, panic is a common reaction that can prevent effective evacuations. Anti-panic bars minimize this obstacle by making it easier to open emergency doors, allowing people to escape without hesitation or difficulty.
Variety of models The market offers a variety of panic bars, each tailored to specific practical and safety needs. These can include the traditional model operated by a bar or lever, as well as the more contemporary model operated by touching a horizontal bar. Factors such as performance, fire resistance, corrosion and frequency of use are essential to consider when selecting the right model. In addition, the dimensions of the door and its function, such as single or double doors, must be considered, especially in relation to fire doors, which must remain unlocked to facilitate the escape route.
What is Coil Coating?
As we have already mentioned, coil coating is a technology for painting certain types of metal, such as steel. This technology basically consists of pre-painting with chemical products, ensuring greater fixation and adherence of the paint to the material. In this way, the metal is coloured when it is still raw material, before being transformed into the final product.
