IP68 Waterproof Energy Efficient Dynamic white LED strip powered by 2in1 LED chips (2 chips in 1 LED=240 LEDs/m), designed to high specifications for professional installations.
Flexible and cuttable tunable white LED strip powered by SMD3527.
Adjustable colour temperature via tunable white from 2700 to 6500K.
Note: While any type of LED strip will perform better when installed in a profile or on an aluminium flat bar, due to the nature of high-powered SMD2835 chips running warm at 19.2 watts per metre and above, we strongly suggest that you consider installing this LED strip on an aluminium bar at the very minimum, in order to ensure proper cooling and thus increasing its lifespan. Always consult with your installer, as it may come down to their discretion, depending on how cool and well-ventilated the area is. Don’t risk burning out any chips!
IP68 Waterproof Protection is achieved by providing the LED strip with a layer of polyurethane.
All IP68 strips can be used in steam rooms and saunas (LED drivers and controllers should be installed remotely).
The LED chip without the IP68 coating can operate at temperatures between -25 to 60 degrees Celsius. Using Hi-Line's special coating which also acts as a coolant for the LED chips can make the final end product to stand temperatures of up to 110 Celsius. For Sauna and steam room applications it is suggested to install IP68 LED strips on aluminium flat bar, LED profile or directly on concrete walls for additional cooling, this will prolong LED chip operating time and lumen-maintenance. Please note that warranty offered for IP68 LED tape installed in Saunas, steam rooms or underwater is limited to one year.
The great advantage of this protective layer is that the luminosity of the LED strip is not affected by an additional silicone tube coating.
This waterproof protection is very durable and does not become "yellowish" as it happens with most LED strips within 3 months of installation. Moreover, the LED strip remains extremely flexible, very clear, soft and well-protected throughout its lifetime.
When installed correctly, this LED strip delivers an excellent performance and maintains its IP68 rating for more than 5 years.
Thanks to its superior quality, Hi-Line’s IP68 rated LED strip has a very long lifespan when temporarily in contact with or submerged in water (e.g. in outside spaces such as a garden or building illumination). Hi-Line offers a 3-year warranty on IP68 rated LED strips for this type of use.
Continuous underwater use of Hi-Line’s IP68 rated LED strip may result in the corrosion of the protective layer and to a gradual loss of its protective properties. For that reason, Hi-Line provides a 1-year warranty for this type of usage.
Please note that soldering is recommended. When soldering, please remember to maintain a waterproof connection by using liquid electrical tape or waterproof heat shrink sleeving. You can also find suitable IP68 connectors HERE!
