Color Waterproof High Density LED Strip Light — 12V, 5W/ft, IP65

Description

Part of our Professional Series, this high-density 12V single-color LED strip delivers stronger, more even output with IP65 protection for indoor or outdoor accent, display, signage, and decorative lighting. Choose from Pink, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, or Ultra-Violet, with custom lengths available for easy project fitting.

Available Colors

Higher Density, Stronger Output

With 60 LEDs per meter, the Professional Series places twice as many LEDs along the strip as our standard-density Contractor Series version. The closer LED spacing provides stronger output and a more uniform line of color for applications where brightness and consistency are more important.

Dedicated Single-Color Light

Each strip produces one dedicated color without requiring an RGB controller. Pink, Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow are ideal for accent lighting, displays, signage, backlighting, and decorative effects. The 395–405nm Ultra-Violet option is available for applications specifically requiring near-UV output.

Waterproof Protection

A protective silicone coating gives the strip its IP65 rating, making it suitable for outdoor, damp, and exposed lighting applications where an uncoated IP20 strip would not be appropriate.

Lengths & Cutting

Available in 3 ft, 6 ft, 9 ft, 12 ft, and full 16.4 ft (5m) roll lengths. The strip can also be cut every 2 inches at the marked copper cut points.

Installation & Connections

Strip sections can be connected by soldering wire between sections or with compatible solderless connectors. The maximum continuous run is 16.4 ft; longer installations should use additional power feeds or be wired in parallel to minimize voltage drop.

Shorter custom lengths include a power connection on one end, while full 16.4 ft rolls include connections on both ends.

Power & Dimming

A 12V DC power supply is required. The strip is PWM dimmable using a compatible 12V dimmer installed between the power supply and LED strip. Use the Power by Length table below when sizing the power supply for each continuous strip run.

Power by Length

Important: Power draw is not linear over longer strip runs. Voltage drop along the strip reduces the actual wattage as the run gets longer, so a full 16.4 ft (5m) roll draws approximately 40W rather than the amount calculated by multiplying the short-length watts-per-foot value across the entire roll. Use the values above when sizing a power supply for a continuous run.
