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

Description

Part of our Professional Series, this high-density 12V white LED strip delivers bright, even light with added IP65 protection for indoor or outdoor applications. The silicone-coated strip includes 3M adhesive backing for easy installation and is available in multiple white color temperatures and custom lengths.

Waterproof Protection

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

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

Strips 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. Use the Power by Length table below to size the power supply for each continuous strip run. The strip is PWM dimmable using a compatible 12V dimmer installed between the power supply and LED strip.

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.
