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

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
