Abstract

A waterproof and dustproof downlight has a housing cylinder, a top cover, an upper waterproof casing, a lower waterproof casing and a lighting assembly. The housing cylinder has a cavity with a top opening and a bottom opening. A partition board is mounted in the cavity. The top cover is mounted in the cavity of the housing cylinder. The upper waterproof casing is mounted on a top surface of the partition board and has an upper chamber defined in the upper waterproof casing. The lower waterproof casing is mounted on a bottom surface of the partition board and has a lower chamber defined in the lower waterproof casing a top. The lighting assembly is mounted securely on the bottom surface of the partition board in the lower chamber of the lower waterproof casing. The upper and lower waterproof casings provide excellent dustproof and waterproof functions.
