| Test Standard | Internal Control Standard |
| Test Purpose | To verify that the sample can maintain stable lighting operation when subjected to low-pressure water jets from any direction, that no harmful water ingress occurs internally, and that waterproof performance meets IPX5 protection level requirements |
| Test Conditions | Room Temperature: 29°C, Relative Humidity: 50% |
Test Equipment & Setup
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Test Equipment | Box-type oscillating tube high-pressure water integrated machine (IPX5-dedicated water jet test nozzle, nozzle inner diameter 6.3 mm, no blockage, uniform water output) |
| Water Flow Rate | 12.5 L/min ±5% |
| Water Supply | Continuous and stable; no pressure fluctuation, no water interruption throughout |
| Nozzle Inner Diameter | 6.3 mm |
| Spray Direction | 360° omnidirectional, multiple angles from any direction |
| Exposure Duration | 1 minute continuous |
| Ambient Temperature | 29°C |
| Relative Humidity | 50% |
Test Procedure
- Pre-test: Confirm sample quantity (2 PCS CL3 units). Verify test equipment nozzle is unobstructed and water output is uniform. Record ambient conditions (29°C, 50% RH).
- Setup: Position samples in three orientations to ensure full 360° coverage during water jet exposure.
- Water Jet Application: Using the IPX5-dedicated nozzle (inner diameter 6.3 mm), apply continuous water jets at 12.5 L/min ±5% from all directions (360° omnidirectional, multiple angles) with no pressure fluctuation or water interruption.
- Duration: Maintain continuous spray for 1 minute per the IPX5 protocol.
- Post-test Inspection: Immediately after spray completion, disassemble each unit and inspect the interior for any water ingress, residual pooling, or moisture on the PCB.
- Functional Check: Power on each sample and verify that lighting operates stably with no circuit short circuits.
- Acceptance Criteria: Lighting remains stable after test; no short circuits; no visible water ingress or residual water inside; PCB dry with no water droplets — unit passes IPX5 waterproof protection requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does IPX5 mean for a camping lantern?
IPX5 is an ingress protection rating defined in the IEC 60529 standard. For a camping lantern, it means the unit is protected against water projected from a nozzle (6.3 mm inner diameter) at 12.5 L/min from any direction for at least 1 minute. The ETENWOLF CL3 passed this test, confirming it can withstand rain, splashing, and low-pressure water jets during outdoor use.
How was the CL3 waterproof test conducted?
The CL3 was placed in three orientations to ensure 360° coverage and subjected to continuous water jets at 12.5 L/min ±5% from all directions for 1 minute using an IPX5-dedicated nozzle with a 6.3 mm inner diameter. Immediately after, the unit was disassembled and inspected — the interior was dry, the PCB had no water droplets, and lighting operated stably with no short circuits.
Did the ETENWOLF CL3 pass its IPX5 waterproof test?
Yes. Both CL3 samples tested on 2026-04-20 passed the IPX5 waterproof performance test. Post-test inspection confirmed stable lighting, no circuit short circuits, no visible water ingress, and a completely dry PCB. The verdict was officially recorded as Pass (合格) under report number 20260420-001.
What are the test conditions for the CL3 waterproof evaluation?
The test was conducted at an ambient temperature of 29°C and 50% relative humidity. Water was delivered at a continuous, stable flow rate of 12.5 L/min ±5% with no pressure fluctuation or water interruption. The nozzle inner diameter was 6.3 mm, and exposure lasted 1 minute from all directions in a 360° omnidirectional pattern.
