IP Rating for Lights
The IP rating is an international standard that tells you how resistant a device is to solids and liquids. As applied to lights, the first digit defines protection from dust, and the second digit defines protection from water.

LIGHTING QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Any room, whatever its size, looks better with many little pools of light rather than a general glare. I like intimate low light just where and when you need it.
