Available Colors

Dedicated Single-Color Light

Each strip produces one dedicated color without requiring an RGB controller. This makes it a simple choice when your application needs a consistent Pink, Red, Green, Blue, or Yellow output for accent lighting, displays, signage, backlighting, architectural details, or decorative effects.

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 4 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 32.8 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 27W 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.
