Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of waterproof LED tubes, and particularly relates to an LED tube with a high protection level. Background Technique

[0002] The LED tube, whose full name is LED daylight tube, is a lighting device that uses LEDs (light-emitting diodes) as the light source. This kind of tube attempts to imitate the traditional fluorescent tube in terms of appearance, brightness, light uniformity, etc. However, compared with the traditional fluorescent tube, the LED tube has many significant advantages.

[0003] For the waterproofing of the currently commonly used LED tubes on the market, generally only the waterproof level of IP65 or IP66 is achieved. Moreover, the waterproofing of the LED tube is solved by completely applying glue, and it is impossible to achieve IP67. When used under a water pressure of one meter underwater, it is easy to get water in. At the same time, the production and processing cost of applying glue is too high. And the reliability and waterproof performance of the product will decline after half a year or one year due to the aging of the glue. In view of this, we propose an LED tube with a high protection level. Content of the Utility Model
