- What is the difference between IP55 and IP67 LED strips?IP55 models are protected against dust and water jets and are suitable for semi-protected outdoor areas. IP67 strips provide a higher level of protection and can withstand temporary immersion in water.
- Which waterproof LED strip is suitable for facade lighting?For contour facade lighting, 9.6W to 14.4W models are suitable, while higher-output 14.4W or 15.8W strips can be used where stronger illumination is required.
- Can waterproof LED strips be used around pools and fountains?IP67 strips can be suitable for areas exposed to significant moisture and temporary water contact. The exact installation location and electrical protection requirements must always be checked for the specific project.
- What accessories are needed to install outdoor LED strips?Depending on the system, you may need a suitable waterproof power supply, aluminium profile, waterproof connectors, sealing end caps, mounting clips and an outdoor-rated controller.
Waterproof LED Strips for Outdoor and Facade Installation
Professional waterproof LED strips with IP55 and IP67 protection for outdoor applications. We offer high-quality solutions from the Proton Hydro and Optic ranges, specially designed for facade lighting, garden projects and architectural accents. The strips withstand rain, snow and extreme temperatures, providing reliable year-round lighting.
Proton Hydro Range with IP67 Protection for Extreme Conditions
The Proton Hydro range represents advanced technology in outdoor LED strips. The IP67 rating provides complete protection against dust and protection against temporary immersion in water up to 1 metre deep. This makes the strips ideal for installation in areas exposed to heavy rainfall, around swimming pools, fountains and garden water features.
Proton Hydro 7.2W with 80 LEDs per metre is an excellent solution for accent and contour lighting. Priced at BGN 99, this model provides subtle illumination for highlighting architectural details and garden paths. For more intensive lighting, Proton Hydro 9.6W with 120 LEDs per metre offers an excellent balance between brightness and energy efficiency at the attractive price of BGN 30.
The most powerful model in the range, Proton Hydro 14.4W with 160 LEDs per metre, generates impressive brightness for primary outdoor lighting. Priced at BGN 140, this strip transforms facades and large garden areas into striking lighting compositions.
Optic LED Strip with IP55 Protection for Semi-Protected Areas
The Optic 15.8W model is a powerful solution with 56 LEDs per metre and IP55 protection. Available in 5-metre rolls at a price of BGN 267, this strip is designed for areas with partial protection from the weather. Its IP55 protection makes it suitable for installation under canopies, on covered terraces and in facade recesses where indirect contact with moisture may occur.
The high output of 15.8W per metre provides excellent brightness suitable for professional architectural lighting and commercial applications. The Optic strip is a preferred choice for projects requiring high light output in semi-protected outdoor conditions.
Technical Specifications and Choosing According to Application
LED density affects the uniformity and intensity of the light. Models with 80 LEDs per metre create more defined points of light, making them suitable for decorative effects. Strips with 120 LEDs per metre provide more uniform illumination for contour lighting. Versions with 160 LEDs per metre create an almost continuous line of light with significantly less visible spacing between individual LEDs.
The power of the strip directly affects brightness and energy consumption. For accent lighting and pathway marking, 7.2W models may be sufficient. For facade contour lighting, 9.6W to 14.4W versions are recommended. For primary outdoor lighting and larger areas, choose the more powerful 14.4W or 15.8W strips.
Weather Resistance and UV Protection
All waterproof LED strips in our range feature a special silicone coating that remains flexible at low temperatures and withstands temperatures of up to 60°C. The UV-stabilised coating helps protect against fading and degradation caused by sunlight, supporting a long service life even with continuous outdoor exposure.
The silicone protection allows reliable operation within a temperature range of -25°C to +60°C. This makes the strips suitable for year-round use in Bulgarian climatic conditions, including cold winter months and hot summer days.
Applications for Facades, Gardens and Architectural Projects
Facade lighting with waterproof LED strips creates striking visual effects by highlighting the architectural lines and volumes of a building. The strips can be installed in suitable profiles along cornices, around windows and doors or along roof outlines to create a modern and stylish exterior appearance.
In garden lighting, LED strips can be used to mark paths, illuminate steps and terraces, and highlight planting arrangements and water features. Dimming capability allows different atmospheres to be created depending on the occasion and time of day.
Architectural projects benefit from the flexibility of LED strips for creating indirect lighting, continuous light lines and accents. Combining different power levels makes it possible to build layered lighting compositions with varying intensity and functions.
Installation and Required Accessories
Correct installation of waterproof LED strips requires suitable accessories. We recommend waterproof IP67 power supplies matched to the power requirements of the selected strip. Aluminium profiles with drainage systems provide effective cooling and help channel water away from the installation.
For connecting separate sections, use waterproof connectors and special sealing end caps. Stainless-steel mounting clips provide durable and reliable fixing to different surfaces. For lighting control, outdoor-rated controllers are available for dimming and programming.
