Waterproof flexible LED strips

Technical specifications

LED Type:
SMD (Surface Mounted Device) diodes, e.g., SMD 2835, SMD 5050, SMD 5630.
Luminous Flux:
From 300 lm/m to 1800 lm/m, depending on the model and diode density.
Protection Class:
IP65: Protected against dust and water splashes (suitable for damp rooms, e.g., bathrooms).
IP67: Resistant to short-term immersion in water (suitable for outdoor use).
IP68: Resistant to long-term immersion in water (used for fountains or pools).
Power Consumption:
4.8 W/m – 20 W/m, depending on LED density and brightness.
Voltage:
12V DC or 24V DC, some models 220V AC.
Color Temperature:
Warm white (2700–3200K).
Neutral white (4000–4500K).
Cool white (6000–6500K).
RGB (color-changing) and RGBW (with an additional white light channel).
Diode Density:
30, 60, 120, or 240 LEDs/m, depending on desired light intensity and uniformity.
Materials:
Hermetic layer of PVC, silicone, or epoxy resin.
Usage

Outdoor lighting: Used to illuminate paths, buildings, terraces, or yard elements.
Waterproof systems: Suitable for fountains, pools, and other damp spaces.
Decorative lighting: Used to accentuate facades, walls, furniture, advertising stands, and other objects.
Interior lighting: Designed for bathrooms, kitchens, bars, or entertainment areas.
Industrial and commercial applications: For lighting shop windows, warehouses, factories, or other commercial spaces.
Pros

Environmental resistance: Hermetic construction protects LED strips from moisture, dust, and dirt.
Energy efficiency: LED technology ensures low energy consumption and a long lifespan (up to 50,000 hours).
Flexibility: Strips can be easily bent to fit various surfaces and shapes.
Easy installation: Most strips have an adhesive base, simplifying mounting on various surfaces.
Diverse color options: From single-color to RGB, enabling dynamic lighting effects.
Wide application: Suitable for both decorative and functional lighting.
Safety: Low voltage (12V or 24V) reduces the risk of electric shock.
Cons

Special power sources required: Appropriate transformers or controllers are needed (especially for RGB strips).
Shorter lifespan outdoors: Although hermetic, intense sunlight or extreme conditions can shorten their lifespan.
Limited length range: Strip length is limited due to voltage drop (usually 5–10 meter segments).
Complex installation in challenging environments: Outdoor conditions may require additional brackets or protective measures.
Cost: Hermetic strips are more expensive than regular non-hermetic LED strips.
Hermetic flexible LED strips are an ideal choice for both decorative and functional lighting, especially where resistance to moisture and environmental impact is crucial. They are reliable, cost-effective, and versatile, fitting various projects—from outdoor terrace lighting to complex pool or fountain systems. Thanks to their universal nature and high durability, these LED strips are suitable for both professional and home projects.
