Shop outdoor and waterproof LED strip lights for decks, patios, landscapes, building accents, bathrooms, kitchens and wet-location projects. Explore IP65, IP67 and IP68 waterproof LED tape in white, RGB, RGBW, COB, addressable and neon designs, with 12V, 24V and long-run options.
Waterproof LED strip lights add flexible linear lighting to damp, wet and outdoor environments. Depending on their construction and rating, they can be used for protected patios, decks, railings, steps, landscape details, building outlines, kitchens, bathrooms, vehicles and certain underwater applications.
Water resistance applies to the complete installed system, not only the strip body. Cut ends, cable entries, connectors, controllers and power supplies must all be rated or enclosed appropriately for the installation.
An IP number does not automatically confirm resistance to saltwater, pool chemicals, UV exposure, high temperatures or pressure washing. Review the full product specification for marine, pool, fountain or industrial installations.
Choose fixed white or single-color tape for task and accent lighting, tunable white for adjustable CCT, RGB or RGBW for color-changing effects, addressable strips for animated pixels, COB for smoother dotless light, or LED neon flex for a thicker diffused line. Compare LED Neon Strip Lights for visible architectural outlines and COB LED Strip Lights for slim dotless installations.
12V strips are widely used in vehicles, boats and shorter outdoor accents. 24V systems are often chosen for architectural runs because they reduce current for a given wattage. Constant-current, 48V and line-voltage products may be used for longer commercial projects. Voltage does not determine waterproofing; always check both electrical and environmental ratings.
Test the complete run before sealing. Cut only at approved marks, use compatible waterproof leads and end caps, and apply the specified sealant where required. Support the strip with clips or a suitable channel rather than relying only on adhesive in changing outdoor temperatures. Keep low-voltage drivers and controllers accessible for service.
IP65 products are generally protected against water jets or splashes under defined test conditions, but they are not intended for immersion. Use an appropriately specified IP67 or IP68 product when the strip may be submerged.
Many can, if the strip and every connection, power supply and controller are rated for the exposure and correctly sealed. Choose an appropriate IP rating, use outdoor-rated accessories and protect feed points from standing water and UV where possible.
No. Pool installations require products specifically rated for the intended submersion depth, water chemistry, voltage and installation method. Power and control equipment must also meet the applicable safety requirements.
