silicone covered led strip
Silicone covered LED strips represent a significant advancement in lighting technology, combining durability with versatile illumination capabilities. These innovative lighting solutions feature a flexible circuit board embedded with LED chips, entirely encased in a high-quality silicone coating. The waterproof silicone covering provides IP67 or higher protection rating, making these strips resistant to water, dust, and various environmental factors. The strips are available in multiple color temperatures, ranging from warm white to cool white, and RGB options for dynamic color changing capabilities. The flexible nature of silicone allows for easy installation around corners and curved surfaces, while maintaining consistent light distribution. Each strip typically operates on 12V or 24V DC power supply and can be cut at marked intervals to achieve custom lengths. The LEDs within provide high luminous efficiency, typically producing 14-22 lumens per LED while maintaining low heat emission. The silicone covering also acts as a diffuser, creating a more uniform light output and eliminating the dotted appearance common in bare LED strips. These strips feature adhesive backing for simple mounting and can be connected in series for extended installations, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications.
