Common LED strip products can be divided into several levels according to the dustproof and waterproof level, which is represented by IPXX. The full name of IP in English is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection. The IP level is the protection level of electrical equipment against foreign body intrusion. The source is the standard IEC EN 60529 of the International Electro technical Commission.

1. Bare or Naked board light strip, not waterproof, protection level IP20

2. Traditional surface dripping waterproof strip light, using epoxy resin, polyurethane modified epoxy resin, polyurethane resin (PU glue) to achieve, protection level IP44, some people on the market are also marked as IP65.

3. Traditional casing waterproof strip lights, PVC and silicone materials, protection level IP65 or IP66

4. Traditional silicone casing glue waterproof LED strip, protection level IP68

5. A series of waterproof led strip, LED flexible strip lights, neon led strip light, such as hollow silicone extrusion, solid silicone extrusion, and two-color silicone extrusion, are derived from the above.

Types of outdoor waterproof led strip lights

The following are some common materials and characteristics for waterproofing LED strip light:

1. PVC material: This material of led strip is mainly low in price, good in flexibility, and can adapt well to various installation environments. Compared with silicone, its durability and anti-aging performance are slightly worse.

2. Silicone material: Silicone led strip lights are relatively soft, have good high temperature resistance, and good waterproof performance, but the price is relatively high.

3. PU material: This material of led strip light has high transparency and flexibility, good wear resistance and anti-aging performance, and is suitable for occasions requiring high-quality effects, but its waterproof performance is not as good as PVC and silicone materials.

4. ABS plastic material: ABS light strips are highly impact-resistant and are mostly used for hard light strips, suitable for some designs that require fixed shapes.

In general, silicone material is more recommended when the budget is sufficient. But when the budget is limited, PVC outdoor light strips are also a good choice.
