HST Light provides COB RGB+CCT waterproof LED strip solutions including IP67 silicone extrusion and customized IP68 options for outdoor, landscape and architectural lighting 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, IP68 waterproof rating, fast delivery, and suitability for outdoor applications. The main question was: “Do you have COB RGB+CCT IP68 LED strips in stock?”
Customer Challenge
Different waterproof grades require different production processes. Many customers think IP67 and IP68 waterproof LED strips are similar, but the manufacturing process and application environment are different.
IP67 vs IP68 Waterproof COB LED Strip
IP67 Waterproof COB LED Strip
Usually produced by silicone extrusion, silicone coating, or flexible waterproof protection. Advantages: faster production, more flexible installation, lower cost, suitable for most outdoor decorative lighting. Typical applications: garden, outdoor decorative, commercial, signage, and architectural decoration lighting.
IP68 Waterproof COB LED Strip
Requires a higher protection structure, commonly full silicone extrusion with a complete sealing structure. Advantages: stronger waterproof protection, better environmental resistance, suitable for harsh outdoor environments. Applications: swimming pool, landscape, building facade, outdoor commercial, and long-term outdoor installations.
Why IP68 Is Not Usually Stocked
IP68 waterproof COB LED strips normally require customized production because of special extrusion equipment, customized waterproof structure, different LED configurations, and different length requirements. Therefore IP68 products are produced according to specific project requirements rather than kept as regular stock.
