A water test is useful only when the test condition, product configuration and intended use are clear. A visible test does not automatically equal a published IP rating.
Start with the real exposure
Rain, splash, spray and temporary immersion create different product requirements. Describe where the light will be used before asking for a rating.
Separate the test from the claim
Ask which product version was tested, how it was configured and what report or standard supports the final claim. The website promise should match the evidence.
Carry the requirement into development
Seals, switches, charging ports, lens assemblies and housing details all affect water resistance. Review them during sampling instead of adding the requirement at the end.
