Customer Inquiry: COB RGB+CCT IP68 Waterproof LED Strip Solution for Outdoor Applications

Project Background

A customer contacted HST Light looking for a COB RGB+CCT LED Strip with IP68 waterproof protection.
The customer required:
  • COB RGB+CCT LED Strip
  • IP68 waterproof rating
  • Fast delivery
  • Suitable for outdoor applications
The main question from the customer was:
"Do you have COB RGB+CCT IP68 LED strips in stock?"
Because outdoor lighting projects usually require quick delivery, stock availability became an important consideration.


Customer Challenge

The customer needed a waterproof COB LED strip solution, but different waterproof grades require different production processes.
Many customers think IP67 and IP68 waterproof LED strips are similar. However, the manufacturing process and application environment are different.


IP67 vs IP68 Waterproof COB LED Strip

IP67 Waterproof COB LED Strip

IP67 waterproof COB LED strips are usually produced by:
  • Silicone extrusion
  • Silicone coating
  • Flexible waterproof protection

Advantages

  • Faster production
  • More flexible installation
  • Lower cost
  • Suitable for most outdoor decorative lighting projects

Typical Applications

  • Garden lighting
  • Outdoor decorative lighting
  • Commercial lighting
  • Signage lighting
  • Architectural decoration


IP68 Waterproof COB LED Strip

IP68 waterproof LED strips require a higher protection structure.
The common production method includes:
  • Full silicone extrusion
  • Complete sealing structure
  • Higher waterproof performance

Advantages

  • Stronger waterproof protection
  • Better environmental resistance
  • Suitable for harsh outdoor environments

Applications

  • Swimming pool lighting
  • Landscape lighting
  • Building facade lighting
  • Outdoor commercial projects
  • Long-term outdoor installations


Why IP68 Is Not Usually Stocked

During communication, we explained that IP68 waterproof COB LED strips normally require customized production.
Reasons include:
  • Special extrusion equipment
  • Customized waterproof structure
  • Different LED configurations
  • Different length requirements
Therefore, IP68 products are usually produced according to specific project requirements rather than kept as regular stock.
