Asad R. (Islamabad) – “Installed this around our DHA pool perimeter. The IP65 rating handles daily splashing and monsoon rain without any failure. The 24V low voltage gives us complete peace of mind with kids around the pool. Flexible PCB followed the curved pool edge perfectly. Newon sized the 24V driver for our 18-metre run on WhatsApp.”

Hina M. (Lahore) – “Used this for our restaurant’s outdoor signage and fountain border in Gulberg. Two monsoon seasons now — zero corrosion, zero flickering. The 60 LEDs/m gives bright, even output that’s visible even in daylight. Cut it to exact lengths for our letterbox signage. Far more reliable than the IP65 strips we tried previously.”

Fahad K. (Karachi) – “Specified this for a hotel fountain feature in Clifton. The IP65 submersion rating handles constant water exposure without degradation. Coastal salt-air hasn’t affected the silicone encapsulation after 10 months. The 24V system passed our safety inspection without issues. Already reordered for our second property in DHA Phase 8.”

Q: What does IP68 rating mean for this strip?

IP68 means the strip is fully dust-tight and protected against continuous submersion in water. It can be installed in pool perimeters, fountain channels, and any wet-location environment without risk of water ingress or electrical failure — unlike IP65 strips which only resist water jets.

Q: Why is 24V low voltage important for wet locations?

At 24V DC, the strip operates at extra-low voltage, eliminating electrocution risk even if the cable is damaged in a wet environment. This is critical for pool edges, fountains, and spa areas where water contact is constant. A 24V constant-voltage LED driver (sold separately) is required.

Q: Can this strip be used for both indoor and outdoor applications?

Yes. The IP68 silicone encapsulation makes it suitable for indoor wet areas (bathrooms, kitchens, indoor pools) and outdoor installations (facades, signage, covered terraces, pool decks, fountain borders). It withstands Pakistan’s monsoon humidity, Karachi’s coastal salt-air, and KPK’s seasonal rainfall.

Q: How do I cut this strip to custom lengths?

The strip features designated cut points every 6 LEDs, marked with copper solder pads. Cut at these marks using sharp scissors for a clean termination. After cutting, seal the cut end with silicone end caps to maintain the IP68 waterproof rating. Contact Newon for matched driver sizing based on your total run length.
