Can you put LED strips underwater?

Easy installation

Cut, Clip, Press ' the innovative design of CabLED allows an easy installation for the user. The unbreakable and flexible material is connected through a Plug-and-Play-System, to navigate narrow corners or limited spaces that could not be illuminated otherwise. The solder-free connections reduce the installation time making it more cost efficient. The IP rating is maintained after cut and reconnection. However, this only applies to the IP65 rated series as all electrical connections of the IP68 rated version need a hi-tech heat sealing and therefore are delivered completely assembled and in the exact length needed. The CabLED series provide a range of easy to use connectors and mounting accessories, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

With competitive price and timely delivery, BLUE DIAMOND sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

Multiple applications

All CabLED-systems are completely encapsulated, originally developed for tough outdoor applications. However, we also see the benefits of bringing this technology inside: it's not only easy to clean and maintain but also convenient for any area in the house, including kitchen and bathroom. The LED lenses are designed the way that temperature and beam remain constant in the encapsulated structure. The ultra slim profile enables the illumination of even very small corners.

Special benefits

I need to install IP68-rated RGB LED strips in a pool. The LED strips will be submerged in water. What would be the right method to do so? I can think of a few options:

1. Use the 3M tape on the reverse side of LED strip - This is likely to fail fast because water and salts/chemicals will degrade the 3M tape quickly. What's your opinion on this?

   The company is the world’s best underwater led strip lights for pools supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

2. Use plastic clips and screws to hold the strip - This is likely to give good long term stability. However I am not sure if making so many small holes in the pool area will be a good idea. Another idea is to fix 10 mm thick and 40 mm wide PVC strip and then screw the clips on this PVC strip. PVC strip can also be stuck to the surface using some epoxy resin or some other waterproof glue and then the clips can be screwed on the PVC strip.

3. Use some sort of waterproof glue to stick the LED strip directly to the pool surface. I am not sure what glue to use? Is silicone glue right for this use case?

Since the use case is outdoors, the strip is likely to require replacement after 2-3 years. I want a method that allows for this. Any suggestions/recommendations will be very helpful.
