Outdoor (IP65) ColorBright™️ Vivid Color Series LED Strip Light

Introduction:

The Outdoor ColorBright™ Vivid Color LED strip light comes as a 16ft 5in reel of linear LED lights. We mount LED chips on a flexible strip of printed circuit board (PCB) with a strong adhesive backing. A silicone cover protects the strip from splashes of water and foreign elements. Sometimes referred to as "LED tape lights," the flexible design of LED strips means the lights can be installed in basically any space you can imagine. The fact that the flexible PCB can be bent up to 90 degrees and cut every 3 LEDs makes it a very versatile and customizable solution for adding blue lighting wherever you need it. The IP65 protection not only allows the lights to withstand jets of water, but also makes them extremely easy to clean.

Outdoor ColorBright Vivid Color Series FAQ:

Q: What are the top 4 comparing factors to look for before purchasing LED strip lights?

1. Make sure you know the requirements for your project, then when looking at options, compare lumen output, CCT, and CRI.
2. Compare LED strip size and number of chips on the reel.
3. Understand the wattage and voltage that the LED strip light uses.
4. Make sure that the products have verifiable quality.

Q: What is the importance of UL Listed?

UL is an acronym for the Underwriters Laboratories. They are an independent product safety certification organization. A good summary used by UL is, "a not-for-profit organization dedicated to public safety." This means you can install these LEDs in commercial spaces, industrial applications, and in your home with peace of mind.

Q: What is the product warranty?

We’re so happy with the quality of our product, we offer a 15-year warranty on most of our LED strips to all of our clients. The warranty on power supplies ranges from 2 to 7 years which is model dependent.

Q: What is the lifespan of your strip lights?

Our lights have been rigorously tested and have an expected lifespan of 50,000 hours before dropping to 70% luminosity. This means that if you were to use your lights 12 hours a day, every day, the lights would be expected to last longer than 10 years. Even after that time has elapsed, the lights will maintain a brightness of 70%. Higher-output strips require a heat sink to reach the expected lifespan and beyond.

Q: Do you sell your outdoor rated lights by the foot?

No, we do not. We stock out IP65 outdoor rated Vivid Color Series lights in 16’ 5" lengths. For certain projects, we may be able to produce special lengths for you. Please let us know your requirements. IP68 waterproof strips are available in 16’ lengths that may be special ordered and subject to a one month manufacturing lead time.

Q: What are the recommendations on adhering outdoor-rated strip lights?

All of our outdoor-rated lights come with mounting brackets. The strip also has a 3M adhesive on the back. We recommend using both for the most secure installation. They can also be installed within a mounting channel.

Q: What does IP mean? What is the difference between IP65 and IP68?

This is a rating system that defines the ability of a product to be able to work in different environments. IP is an acronym "Ingress Protection". It is a measurement of the protection an item will have against solid objects (dust, sand, dirt, etc.) and liquids. An IP rating is comprised of 2 numbers. The first number refers to the protection against solid objects (dust, etc) and the second number refers to protection against liquids. Here is a complete article about IP ratings.

Q: Can I cut reels that are outdoor rated IP65?

Yes. Be sure to reseal the strip light each time it’s cut to prevent water damage. A lot of clients like to use a liquid electrical tape.

Q: How flexible are these outdoor strips?

The IP65 is flexible like a measuring tape. Because we use a soft silicone sleeve to make the strip water resistant, it is still very flexible.

Q: What is a 3528 SMD LED chip?

3528 SMD (Surface Mounted Diode) represents the size of the LED chips on the strip. A 3528 SMD chip measures at 3.5mm x 2.8mm. Click here for more information on LED chip sizes.

Q: What do I need to turn on my lights?

To turn on LED strips, you will need to connect to a LED power supply. For connecting strips to the power supply we recommend soldering to make the strongest connections. Another option is to use our solderless connectors, which is a faster and easier way to install LED strips.

Q: Which power source do you need for my project?

Q:Wow these are bright! What do I do if I want to dim my LED strip lights?

All LED strip lights are dimmable. The LED strips can be dimmed either through our dimmers [PWM dimming], or by a Lutron wall dimmer

To dim the lights you have two options:

1. If you plan to dim your LED strips using a hardwired Lutron wall dimmer, you need a Zurik dimmable driver. This driver itself will be dimmed from the Lutron switch.
2. If you do not plan to dim the lights from a hardwired wall dimmer and want to dim them with one of our dimmers, you will need a non-dimmable LED driver [Mean Well or Flexfire LEDs Brand]
