Outdoor & Waterproof LED Strip Lights for Wet Locations
IP65 to IP68 LED strip for commercial wet location work — silicone-coated, extrusion-sleeved, and fully submersible constructions, with matched drivers and UL Listed options available.
Our outdoor LED strip lights are waterproof to IP65, IP67 or IP68 in three constructions: a silicone top coat for rain and splash zones, an extrusion sleeve for temporary immersion, and a full silicone tube for continuous submersion. Each construction is built for outdoor and wet-area work on COB and SMD bases in 12V and 24V, and the wet location marking for a given model is confirmed from its documentation at quote. The range covers environments from -4 °F to +221 °F (-20 °C to +105 °C) — including dedicated swimming pool and sauna series. UL Listed options are available, with documentation ready for your submittal package.

Outdoor & waterproof questions
Is IP68 LED strip wet location rated?
Not by the IP code alone. IP68 is a lab test of ingress; the wet location marking comes from the product's listing, and the connectors and the driver need to match too. We confirm the marking for the model you specify at quote.
What IP rating do I need for outdoor LED strip — IP65, IP67, or IP68?
Use IP65 for rain and splash exposure, IP67 where temporary standing water is possible, and IP68 for anything submerged. Under eaves and soffits IP65 is usually sufficient; fountains and pools need IP68 as a minimum, and anything below the waterline needs a listed underwater luminaire. Match connectors and power supplies to the same rating — the system is only as protected as its weakest part.
How long can a single run of outdoor LED strip be?
Up to 16 ft (5 m) per feed on most series before voltage drop becomes visible. The pool series runs 10 ft (3 m) per feed at 12V. Longer installations use multiple feed points from the same driver.
Should I use 12V or 24V outdoors?
24V for most outdoor work — lower current means fewer feed points on long facade and soffit runs. 12V is the requirement for low-voltage pool and water-feature installations. Both work outdoors when the strip, connectors, and driver all match the IP rating and the location marking.
Can outdoor LED strip be cut to length?
Yes — cut at the marked points only: every 25–50 mm on most series and every 100 mm on the pool series. After cutting, the open end must be re-sealed with a matching silicone end cap and adhesive to restore the IP rating.
How long do outdoor LED strips last?
Rated life is L70 ≥ 50,000 hours, the same as our indoor lines. UV-stable silicone avoids the yellowing that shortens the life of cheaper PU coatings. Mounting in an aluminum channel further protects lumen maintenance outdoors.
Can LED strip stay installed outdoors year-round?
Yes — silicone-construction strip is rated for permanent installation across -4 °F to +221 °F (-20 °C to +105 °C) environments. UV-stable silicone will not yellow or crack in direct sun. See the Permanent Outdoor & Soffit series above for eave installations that run year-round.
Are outdoor LED strip lights fully waterproof?
Only to the degree the IP code states. IP65 strip sheds rain and hose water, IP67 survives temporary immersion, and IP68 is built for continuous submersion to a stated depth. The run is only as waterproof as its weakest part, so the connectors, the cut ends and the driver location have to match the strip's rating, and the wet location marking is confirmed per model at quote.
