Why do LED Fairground Bulbs need to reserve space for waterproof connectors?

Why do we need to reserve space for waterproof connectors?

  • Environmental adaptability: Outdoor amusement equipment (such as Ferris wheels and roller coasters) are exposed to wind and rain for a long time, and waterproof connectors are required to prevent rainwater from entering. Indoor humid areas (such as water parks and hot spring areas) also need waterproof protection.
  • Safety: Water intrusion may cause short circuits, electric shocks or fire risks. Waterproof connectors can isolate moisture, extend the life of LED Fairground Bulbs, and reduce maintenance costs.
  • Compliance: Comply with electrical safety standards (such as IP65/IP67 waterproof rating) and pass safety certification.

How to reserve space for waterproof connectors?

  • Design phase: Reserve holes on the housing of LED Fairground Bulbs or equipment, and the hole diameter must be larger than the outer diameter of the waterproof connector (usually 20-30 mm). Make sure there is no obstruction around the hole to facilitate connector installation and wiring.
  • Installation phase: Fix the waterproof connector on the reserved hole and ensure that the sealing ring fits tightly against the housing. After the wire passes through the connector, tighten the locking nut to prevent loosening.
  • Testing and verification: After installation, perform a waterproof test (such as a water spray test) to ensure that there is no water seepage.

Common waterproof connector types and selection

  • Type:
    1. Threaded waterproof connector: locked by thread, good sealing, suitable for outdoor lamps.
    2. Snap-on waterproof connector: quick installation, suitable for indoor humid areas.
    3. Glue-filled waterproof connector: fills the gap by glue, suitable for high waterproof level requirements.
  • Selection basis:
    1. Waterproof level (IP65 and above are suitable for outdoor, IP44 is suitable for indoor humid areas).
    2. The outer diameter of the connector matches the reserved hole.
    3. Wire specifications (such as cross-sectional area, quantity).

Conclusion

Reserving space for waterproof connectors in LED Fairground Bulbs sockets is a key step to ensure the safe use of lamps in humid or outdoor environments.
Through reasonable design, selection of appropriate waterproof connectors and standardized installation, water intrusion can be effectively prevented to ensure the performance and safety of lamps.
In special application scenarios such as amusement equipment, special attention should be paid to waterproof level and space reservation to meet electrical safety standards and actual needs
