This weatherproof cool white LED flexi-strip features 60 LEDs per metre on a white-backed flexible PCB with silicone coating and 3M adhesive backing. The strip runs on 9–12 V DC and can be dimmed using PWM via an N-channel MOSFET or NPN transistor.
Sold by the metre — if you order 5 m, you'll receive a full reel. Shorter lengths are cut from a reel and may or may not include a connector.
Key Features
- 60 Cool White LEDs per Metre – Bright, even illumination
- Weatherproof – Silicone-coated for light outdoor and indoor use
- 3M Adhesive Backing – Sticks to most smooth surfaces
- Cuttable Every 5 cm – Cut at marked lines (3 LEDs per segment) with wire cutters
- Solderable Pads – 0.1″ copper pads at each cut point
- PWM Dimmable – Control brightness with an N-channel MOSFET
Specifications
- LED Colour – Cool white
- LEDs per Metre – 60
- Operating Voltage – 9–12 V DC
- Cut Interval – Every 5 cm (3 LEDs)
- Backing – White PCB with 3M adhesive
- Coating – Weatherproof silicone
- Full Reel – 5 m
Note: These strips are weatherproof but not designed for long-term submersion in water (especially chlorinated water) or extended exposure to direct sunlight/UV. They are suitable for indoor use or light outdoor use without direct sun or water contact. Once the adhesive backing is removed, strips are not returnable.
Tip: If your cut piece has 4 pads labelled RGB, connect the RGB pads together to ground and the 12V+ pad to your power supply. Wire colours do not necessarily indicate polarity — try both directions if the strip doesn't light up (connecting backwards will not damage it).
Ideal For
- Under-cabinet and architectural lighting
- Bicycle and vehicle accent lighting
- Custom lamp projects
- Decorative and display lighting

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
