Description: Gone are the days that you have to worry about silicone weather proofing splitting and breaking on you! These are sealed non-addressable 1 meter long RGB LED strips that come packed with 60 5060 LEDs per meter. Each of these LED strips need a 12V supply and are enclosed by a flexible silicon jacket with an IP65 waterproof rating to protect your precious 5060 LEDs. You will be able to control the whole LED RGB Strip together giving you cool lighting effects for your car, fish tank, or perhaps under cabinet lighting in your kitchen!
Note: These come in 1m segments on a reel. They are preterminated with wires, as shown in the pictures.

I am unsure of the specifics of this setup. I see 20-30 mA as the current and 5 V as the voltage. Can anybody give me any information as per the voltage and current so that i can properly use it
How much current this 1m Strip needs?
You just need to apply +12V to the + pin and ground any of the colored wires to turn the LED color on. If you want use it with a microcontroller, you would need an n-channel mosfet https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10213 to turn it on and off. The LED strips require a lot of power (especially the 5M strips) but it worked good with my variable power supply set s 12V/1A. The LED strip does get warm to the touch when using.
I’m assuming that these are powered at 5V?
These are 12 volt strips.
Would these be suitable for a pool application? Ideally <5ft below water normally at 80ish degrees. I can’t make sense if the Wikipedia entry…
IP65 is the rating. The first number (6) refers to the solid particle protection, which is dust tight, meaning no solid particles can get in. the second number (5) refers to the liquid ingress protection. Level 5 is “Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.”
Technically, full immsersion up to 1M of water is level 7. So, the rating kinda looks like it wouldn’t work, but your mileage may vary. I would probably look for an IP67 or IP68 rated strip just to be on the safe side.
Ok, thanks!
Would EL wire be waterproof (IP67) if the cap is sealed with hot glue and such? Just wondering…
Is there is a bored on sparkfun to control this led straps wireless ??
Is it possible to cut these to length? Thanks.
Yep! You just may need to add wires to any ends you cut and make sure you don’t end up shorting any lines together.
