Professional-Grade Technical Specifications

Waterproof Ratings

Our outdoor strip lights can be purchased in IP67 LED strip lights as well as waterproof IP68 LED strip ratings, providing complete protection from water and dust for solid performance in any weather. These make them a reliable partner for all types of outdoor garden lighting.

Voltage Options

Choose between 12V LED strip lights that are suitable for small installations, or 24V LED strip lights for outdoor use for longer runs with a low voltage drop. We also have a 48V option for commercial installations that require longer-lasting installations.

LED Types & Brightness

Choose from our standard SMD LEDs (3528 5050 LED strips outdoors) and ultra-bright 2835 chips or our top COB (Chip on Board) technology to provide a seamless light output, without visible diodes.

Control Options

From simple, single-color dimmable outdoor LED strip lights to sophisticated outdoor RGB LED strip lights that have apps, we provide all-inclusive control options for every installation, even those that are integrated with outdoor LED lighting systems.

Complete Outdoor LED Lighting Systems

For a hassle-free installation, we offer complete kits with everything you need for outdoor lighting projects:

  • Weatherproof LED Strips Tailored to fit for custom-designed installations
  • IP-Rated Power Supplies - Correctly appropriate for your installation
  • Waterproof Connectors - To ensure strong, waterproof connections
  • Controllers & Dimmers protected by IP for outdoor use
  • Mounting Channels & Clips - Secure installation solutions

Choosing the Right Outdoor LED Strip

Length Requirements

If you require 20M LED strips for outdoor use to create bigger landscapes, or 50M LED strips for commercial uses, we offer a variety of lengths that are cut according to your exact specifications.

Brightness & Color

Choose between warm white for a cozy atmosphere and cool white to provide task lighting or LEDs that change color for outdoor use to create stunning visual effects as well as seasonal displays.

Smart Control Needs

Our LED strips for outdoor use provide app-controlled operation that allows you to alter brightness, color, and effects using your smartphone or even integrate them into the home automation system.

Power Requirements

Our low-voltage outdoor 12V/24V strips are safe to operate and provide the best performance for your requirements for brightness and distance of installation.

Installation Guidance

Mounting Solutions

Aluminum channels are great for heat dissipation and protection and our waterproof mounting clips allow for different installation options for a variety of surfaces.

Waterproof Connections

All connections should be secured using our waterproof connector system or heat-shrink tubing to preserve the integrity of the IP rating.

Power Supply Placement

Place power supplies in secure areas or install IP-rated enclosures to ensure safe operation regardless of weather conditions.

Testing

Always test your system prior to finalizing installation to ensure that it is operating properly and make any adjustments that are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which IP rating is best for fully exposed outdoor strips?

For fully exposed outdoor installations use at least IP65 for splash protection, IP67 where occasional temporary immersion may occur, and IP68 for continuous submersion pick the rating based on the exact exposure type.

How waterproof are LEDs for outdoor use?

The strip’s IP rating describes its protection: IP65 resists jets and splashes, IP67 tolerates short submersion, and full waterproof performance also depends on properly sealed end-caps and cable entries.

What is the expected lifetime of outdoor LED strips?

High-quality outdoor LED strips typically last 25,000–50,000 hours under proper installation and cooling, though lifetime shortens with poor heat management, moisture ingress, or UV exposure.

Can outdoor LED strips be cut to exact lengths?

Yes most strips can be cut at marked cut points; after cutting you must reseal ends with appropriate end caps and sealant to maintain waterproofing.

How do I calculate power needs for 24V outdoor pixel (addressable) strips?

Multiply the strip’s watts-per-metre by the length to get total watts, divide by 24 V to find amps, and choose a PSU with ~20–30% headroom for reliable continuous operation.

What power source do I need for outdoor LED strips?

Use a weatherproof, constant-voltage LED driver sized to the strip voltage (12/24/48V) and total wattage, mounted in a ventilated, protected enclosure rated for outdoor use.

How do 12V and 24V strips compare for long garden runs?

24V systems suffer less voltage drop and require fewer injection points, making them better for longer runs, while 12V is fine for short runs but needs more frequent power injection.

How and where should I inject power on long 24V outdoor runs?

Inject power at both ends and at regular intervals (spacing depends on wattage and cable gauge) or use parallel trunk-and-branch feeds to keep voltage within acceptable limits along the run.

Which waterproof connectors and enclosures should I use for outdoor controllers?

Use IP67/IP68-rated connectors and junction boxes with proper cable glands, and place controllers inside weatherproof enclosures with ventilation and appropriate service access.

Which waterproof connector types prevent signal loss on RGB pixel strips?

Choose sealed connectors specifically designed for pixel/data strips (with gold-plated contacts and low-resistance signal pins) and maintain short, well-shielded data runs or add data repeaters where needed.

What controllers work best with WS2811 strips outdoors?

Robust Wi-Fi or standalone pixel controllers that support WS2811 protocol and can be housed in weatherproof enclosures (or paired with an IP-rated DMX gateway) are ideal for outdoor WS2811 installs.

Do I need a special controller for outdoor LED lighting?

Not necessarily you need a controller that supports your strip protocol and pixel count, but you should house it in a weatherproof enclosure and use controllers rated or protected for outdoor environments.

Can I install outdoor LED strips without professional help?

Many homeowners can install outdoor strips if they follow manufacturer instructions, basic electrical safety, and local codes, but hire a qualified electrician for mains work, complex wiring, or commercial installations.

Will outdoor LED strips survive coastal (salt-air) environments?

Salt air is corrosive, so choose marine-grade or stainless-contact connectors, higher IP ratings, and frequent maintenance/inspection to maximize lifespan in coastal locations.

What is the best way to connect several outdoor LED strips together?

Wire strips in parallel to the power distribution trunk, use appropriately rated junction boxes and connectors, and size the trunk cabling and PSU to handle total current with headroom.

How do I mount LED strips to brick, concrete, or eaves and hide the wiring cleanly?

Use weatherproof mounting clips or masonry anchors for brick/concrete, route power trunking in conduit or discrete cable channels, and seal wall penetrations with silicone or appropriate glands for a tidy, protected installation.
