12V RGB LED Strip Light (5m, IP65 Waterproof Flexible Strip)

Add vibrant, customizable lighting to your projects with this 12V RGB LED strip. Measuring 5 meters (16.4 feet) in length, this flexible ribbon features 300 high-output 5050 SMD LEDs designed to deliver consistent, full-spectrum color across a wide area. Whether you are enhancing a display, building accent lighting, or upgrading a workspace, this strip provides reliable and adaptable illumination.

High-Density 5050 SMD RGB Lighting

This strip utilizes 5050 SMD RGB LEDs arranged at 60 LEDs per meter, producing a smooth, even glow without visible hotspots. Each color channel (Red, Green, Blue) operates on its own 12V DC circuit, allowing for color mixing when paired with a compatible RGB controller. Note that this strip is not individually addressable, meaning all LEDs display the same color simultaneously.

Flexible Design with Protective Coating

The strip is built on a flexible PCB that can be bent and routed around corners, edges, and curved surfaces. A silicone coating provides IP65-level protection against dust and moderate moisture exposure, making it suitable for indoor use and light outdoor applications. It is not designed for full submersion.

Power Requirements and Performance

Operating on 12V DC, this LED strip draws approximately 22.5 watts under typical use and can pull up to 5 amps when all colors are driven at full brightness. A minimum 2 amp power supply is required, though a properly rated power supply closer to maximum load is strongly recommended to prevent voltage drop, brightness inconsistency, or color imbalance along the strip.

Key Features

• 5 meter (16.4ft) flexible RGB LED strip
• 300 total 5050 SMD LEDs (60 LEDs per meter)
• 12V DC operation with three independent color channels (R, G, B)
• IP65 silicone coating for moisture and dust resistance
• Flexible design for curved and custom installations
• Uniform color output across entire strip length

Important Notes for Installation

• Power supply and RGB controller are not included
• Not individually addressable - all LEDs change color together
• Use adequately rated power supply to avoid voltage drop and color mismatch
• Recommended to purchase required quantity at once due to potential batch color variation

Applications

Ideal for under-cabinet lighting, display cases, signage, TV backlighting, automotive accents, and light outdoor decorative installations. The flexible format allows easy integration into tight or complex spaces while maintaining consistent lighting performance.
