How LED Strip Usage Dictates Waterproof Ratings

Indoor applications: IP20, IP65

Outdoor applications: IP67, IP68

Decoding IP Ratings (Ingress Protection)

1st digit (0-6): Dust/foreign object protection

2nd digit (0-8): Water penetration resistance

Higher numbers = stronger protection

Key Waterproof Ratings Explained

IP20 (Non-Waterproof):

Exposed FPC board; no water resistance.

Use: Bedrooms, living rooms, cabinets, kitchens, staircases.

IP65 (Splash-Proof):

Glue-coated LED components; resists water splashes.

Use: Kitchens, bathrooms (wet but non-immersed areas).

IP67 (Outdoor-Ready):

Silicone/heat-shrink sealed; withstands temporary water submersion (not prolonged).

Also used in silicone LED neon lights.

IP68 (Highest Rating):

Fully silicone-sealed; suitable for hot/cold outdoor environments.

Ideal for pool lighting and submerged applications.
