Armytek Elf C2 vs Wizard C2 Pro Nichia waterproof rating

[marc5800]

Hi,

I noticed that both flashlights have the same waterproof rating (IP68) but the Elf C2 says 10m for 5h and the Wizard Nichia says 10m for 2h. Anyone know why? What's different?

If anything, the Elf C2 should be worst since it's USB-C.

IP68 is as high as IP (ingress protection) rating go. Both achieve this. The manufacturer apparently deems one to be still better than the other beyond this accepted rating.

gotcha. Very weird and I'd be curious as to why one was deemed better than the other one.
