Lighting โ FAQ
Can I install outdoor LED strips inside my closet?
Yes, outdoor strips work excellently inside closets, especially in garages or unconditioned spaces. Their waterproofing protects against humidity and temperature fluctuations.
What's the difference between IP65 and IP68?
IP65 withstands water jets from any direction. IP68 allows continuous submersion. For most outdoor closets, IP65 suffices unless directly exposed to rain.
Do I need a special power supply for AC 110V strips?
AC strips connect directly to household wiring like traditional lights. You'll need basic electrical skills or an electrician for safe hardwired installation.
How do I cut LED strips to fit my closet?
Cut only at marked intervals (usually copper pads). Use sharp scissors, then seal cut ends with silicone or end caps to maintain waterproofing.
Will RGB strips provide enough light for a closet?
RGB strips prioritize color over brightness. For task lighting, choose white LED strips or RGBW models that include dedicated white diodes.
How long do outdoor LED strips last?
Quality strips last 30,000-50,000 hours. COB strips often last longer due to better heat dissipation. Outdoor use may reduce lifespan by 10-15% due to environmental stress.
