Why is an IK10 impact rating required for portable construction site work lights?

Update Time:2026/7/2
Q: Why is an IK10 impact rating required for portable construction site work lights?
A: Construction zones are high-risk environments where heavy scaffolding tubes, tools, and materials frequently fall or collide with equipment. An IK10 rating guarantees that the work light can withstand a massive 20-joule impact without shattering, preventing dangerous glass debris on-site and saving contractors from continuous replacement costs.
