| IP30 | No protection | Indoor, dry rooms |
| IP65 | Silicone coating | Light moisture, bathrooms |
| IP67 | Silicone tube | Outdoor, more water exposure |
Choose the right density:
| Density | Suitable for |
|---|---|
| 30 LEDs/m | Subtle ambient lighting, indirect light |
| 60 LEDs/m | Standard projects, TV backlighting |
| 144 LEDs/m | Vivid displays, music-reactive light |
Mounting tips:
- 📏 Strip has 3M adhesive tape on the back (not IP67)
- ✂️ Can be cut between each LED for custom lengths
- 🔌 Long strips should be powered from both ends to avoid voltage drop
- ⚠️ Do not bend the strip sharply — this can damage the LEDs
- 🔩 Strips are soldered together in 0.5m sections — visible solder points are normal
Perfect for:
- 📺 TV ambient lighting
- 🎮 Gaming setups
- 🏠 Indirect lighting in living rooms and kitchens
- 🌈 WLED music-reactive lighting
- 🏨 Hotel, bar, and restaurant decor
- 🚗 Car decoration
