Waterproofing technology of LED light strips

Due to the market requirement for outdoor lightboxes, water-resistant LED backlighting happened. And then, because the widespread application and heavy demand,  a lot of LED light strips suppliers have entered this industry, and more and more types of waterproof LED strips have launched. Nowadays, there is two main waterproof technology in the industry: glue-filled waterproof and tube waterproof. The main features of the two LED waterproof technology are below.

The first is glue-filled waterproof technology that is a process that drops or pour the silicon glue on the surface of the LED light bar to withstand water. The process of glue waterproof is relatively more complex than tube waterproof process. One example is MFS3030WP IP65 waterproof LED strip lattice lights, in its waterproofing process, it has to be taken into account that the glue should not get to the surface of the light source LED or else, the light color of the LED will be changed. In addition, in case the glue through the gap to the bottom of the circuit board, the LED light bar will become a nonconforming product.

The other one, the tube waterproof process utilizes the glue tube to wrapping the LED light tape. Thanks to its leakproofness, the workers just need to seal the plugs at both ends of the light strip tube. The tube waterproof has higher IP rating, for its completely enclosed. Furthermore, the heat dissipation space in the tube is larger than the glue waterproof, and because the LED ribbon is entirely sealed by the tube, there is no possibility that the spilled water damage the LEDs. R2835TG silicon tube waterproof LED ribbon is an excellent example.
