Underwater IP68 LED Strip

What is IP68 LED strip? An IP68 LED strip is a type of LED lighting that is designed to be completely dust tight and protected against prolonged effects of immersion under pressure. The IP (Ingress Protection) rating system is used to specify the environmental protection of enclosures around electronic equipment. For LED strips, this rating is crucial when selecting lighting for environments exposed to water, dust, or other particulates.

IP68 LED strip with PU glue inside and 360 degrees protects the LED from water penetration. 

Because of their robust protection, IP68 LED strips are often more durable and reliable in harsh environmental conditions, making them an ideal choice for both functional and decorative lighting in challenging outdoor or wet environments.
