Are IP68 funfair lights factory-sealed with epoxy filling?

IP68 funfair lights are not universally factory-sealed with epoxy filling—it depends on the specific manufacturer and product. While some IP68 funfair lights use epoxy or resin encapsulation as their waterproofing method, others achieve IP68 protection through structural sealing, such as gaskets and sealed housings.

How IP68 Waterproofing Works

IP68 is the highest ingress protection rating, meaning the product is fully protected against dust and can withstand continuous submersion in water. Manufacturers achieve this rating through different methods:

• Resin/Epoxy Filling: The internal components are encapsulated in epoxy resin or a similar material, completely isolating them from water and corrosion. This is a common method for underwater lights, including pool lights and some funfair lights.
• Structural Sealing: The housing is designed with gaskets and seals at every joint to keep water out without filling the interior with resin.

Funfair Light Manufacturing Practices

Fun Amusement Lighting, a manufacturer of programmable amusement RGB funfair LED lights, lists “sealing glue” among its automated production equipment, indicating that some form of sealing compound is used in their manufacturing process.However, the product description does not explicitly state whether the entire lamp is factory-filled with epoxy or if the sealing is limited to specific components.

Resin-Filled vs. Structural Sealing

The choice between resin filling and structural sealing has practical implications:

Conclusion

If you are purchasing IP68 funfair lights and specifically require epoxy or resin filling, you should verify this with the manufacturer, as it is not a standard feature across all IP68 products. Some manufacturers offer resin-filled options, while others rely on structural sealing to achieve the same IP68 rating
