Spanish term or phrase: contra la descarga
Instructions for Floodlights (Spain)

Is "descarga" referring to the discharge or water here? I've looked up IP65 and that seems to be the case. If so, is "discharge" the most appropriate term?

Many thanks in advance.

It may be that this is referring to electric shocks but I decided to keep it more literal in the end. Thanks David.
