Choosing the right lighting is crucial, but equally important is the safety of the electrical components.


At Kent Leuchten, we attach great importance to quality and protection. Here you will learn more about the electrical protection classes and why they are important for your lighting.



  1. What are electrical protection classes?

Electrical equipment such as lamps are classified into different protection classes according to their protection against excessive voltage when touched directly. This classification is done according to EN 61140 (formerly DIN VDE 0140) and CENELEC HD 366.

Here are the three main classes:

Protection class I: Here the protection objective is achieved by insulation of live parts. This means that the lamps are designed to prevent direct contact with live parts.


Protection class II: In this class, the lamps are additionally equipped with reinforced insulation. They offer increased protection against electric shock.


Protection class III: This class includes lamps with safety extra-low voltage (SELV). Here the safety is ensured by a low voltage of maximum 50 V alternating current or 120 V direct current.


  1. Why are electrical protection classes important?

Safety: Choosing the right protection class ensures the safe operation of your lamps. This is especially important in areas with direct contact to people.


Quality: Kent Leuchten uses high-quality materials and works with certified manufacturing partners. Our products meet the strict requirements of the protection classes.
