Can Twinkly C9 bulb string lights be used outdoors?
This article refers to Twinkly C9 Bulbs Strings devices
The Twinkly C9 bulb string lights are IP44 certified, which means they are suitable for outdoor use in temperatures ranging from 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F). They are designed to withstand rain and snow, making them a great choice for outdoor decoration in various weather conditions.
What Does IP44 Mean?
An IP44 rating indicates that the product is:
-
Protected against solid objects larger than 1 mm, such as dust or small insects;
-
Protected from water splashes coming from any direction.
However, it's important to note that IP44 devices are not waterproof. While they can handle water splashes and light rain, they should not be submerged or exposed to high-pressure water jets.
Protecting the Controller and Power Supply
Even though the lights themselves are weather-resistant, the controller and power supply need additional protection. If you cannot place them in a sheltered or dry location, we recommend using a weatherproof box to keep them safe from moisture and rain.
