Can waterproof light switches be used near sinks and countertops?

The waterproof light switch can be used near sinks and countertops, but the following points should be noted when using it:
Firstly, the design of waterproof light switches is intended for use in humid environments, which can prevent safety hazards such as short circuits or electric shocks caused by moisture intrusion. This type of switch usually has a high waterproof rating, such as IP65, which can to some extent resist the intrusion of moisture and dampness.
However, even if the waterproof light switch has waterproof function, it does not mean that it can be installed freely near sinks and countertops. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the waterproof level of the switch can adapt to the specific usage environment, and to strictly follow the product manual for installation and operation.
Specifically, the waterproof light switch should be installed in a location far away from the water source and directly sprayed, such as above or on the side of the edge of the sink, to avoid prolonged exposure to water flow. At the same time, the installation location should also consider the convenience and safety of the switch to avoid safety hazards caused by improper installation.
In addition, due to the humid environment near the sink and countertop, special attention should be paid to the maintenance and upkeep of the waterproof light switch during use. Regularly clean the surface of the switch to avoid the accumulation of dust and dirt, which can maintain the waterproof performance and aesthetics of the switch. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid using sharp objects to scratch the surface of the switch, so as not to damage its waterproof structure.
