Product Information
This 12V individually addressable outdoor LED strip combines WS2815 integrated SMD5050 RGB LEDs with an IP68 solid silicone extrusion body for exterior and shallow water installations. Each LED functions as an independent pixel, allowing dynamic color-chasing sequences, programmable pixel mapping, and fluid ambient effects across patios, decks, architectural perimeters, and fountain basins.
The integrated WS2815 IC driver features dual-signal data transmission, meaning a single damaged LED will not disrupt signal continuity to the remaining run. Every 5m reel includes pre-applied red adhesive tape and 4-pin connection leads for dependable field deployment.
Core Technical Advantages
IP68 Solid Silicone Encapsulation
Entire circuit board, solder pads, and SMD components are completely encased in solid silicone extrusion measuring 12mm wide by 5mm high for continuous moisture protection in wet zones and shallow submerged projects.
WS2815 Dual-Signal Backup Line
Engineered with data (DI) and backup data (BI) traces so an individual broken component does not interrupt signal transmission down the remaining WS2815 programmable LED strip lights line.
Individual Pixel Control at 12V DC
Operates on 12V direct current while maintaining true single-LED cuttable resolution (1 LED = 1 pixel), reducing voltage drop across long runs compared to 5V digital ribbon alternatives.
Pre-Applied Red Adhesive Backing
Features high-tack red adhesive along the entire 5-meter base for initial positioning, supported by optional screw-mount silicone clips for permanent outdoor mounting.
Flexible Lead and Connector Options
Supplied standard with 4-pin JST-SM connectors, with factory options for black threaded waterproof mating plugs as well as single-ended or dual-ended wire lead configurations.
Engineering and Durability Specifications
- 60 independently controlled SMD5050 RGB LEDs per meter provide uniform pixel density across architectural accents and IP68 LED strip lights for swimming pools edge applications.
- Cut lines placed between every single LED at 16.6mm intervals permit precise on-site length customization for custom joinery and deck risers.
- Dual-trace signal architecture ensures uninterrupted operation in commercial landscape projects where physical maintenance access is limited.

Target Installation Scenarios
How to Install & Use This LED Strip
- Inspect the LED strip on the reel and connect temporarily to a 12V DC power source and SPI controller to test full RGB color cycles before deployment.
- Clean mounting surfaces with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease, dirt, and moisture before applying the adhesive backing.
- If custom sizing is required, cut only along the indicated copper pad lines between individual LEDs using a sharp blade.
- Seal cut ends thoroughly using neutral-cure silicone sealant and matching silicone end caps, allowing a 24-hour curing window before water exposure.
- Peel the red release liner, press the LED strip firmly onto the mounting channel for 30 seconds, and install silicone mounting clips every 30 to 50cm for permanent mechanical retention.
- Wire power positive (+12V) and ground (GND) directly to the power supply terminals; attach data (DI) and backup data (BI) to your controller output.
⚠ Precautions
- Keep main wire splices, power supply units, and non-waterproof JST connectors housed in dry enclosures or weather-sealed junction boxes away from standing moisture.
- Do not exceed a 5-meter continuous series run from a single power feed; inject 12V DC power at both ends of runs longer than 5 meters to prevent voltage drop and color shifting.
- Select a power supply rated at least 20% higher than the combined wattage of your LED strip run (minimum 90W driver for one 72W 5m reel).

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: how to program addressable led strip
A:Program patterns using digital lighting controllers running WLED, Madrix, xLights, or Arduino FastLED libraries by selecting the WS2815 or WS2811/WS2812B protocol configuration at 800kHz.
Q: Where should the wire connection points be positioned for underwater installations?
A:The strip body itself is rated for shallow water immersion, but wire connections and JST-SM connectors should always be routed to dry junction boxes or moisture-free locations above the water line.
