Flexible UV LED Strip Light – 12V DC – IP68 Waterproof – CureUV Brand

Flexible UV LED Strip Light – 12V DC – IP68 Waterproof

The CureUV Flexible UV LED Strip Light – IP68 Waterproof combines ultraviolet LED technology with a flexible, waterproof construction for applications requiring UV illumination in wet environments and suitable submerged installations.

Designed for 12V DC operation, this UV LED strip is available in four wavelength options: 254 nm, 365 nm, 385 nm, and 395 nm. The selection supports a range of specialized UV lighting applications, including UV-reactive illumination, equipment integration, and wavelength-dependent processes.

The strip features multiple surface-mounted UV LEDs enclosed within a transparent flexible protective covering. Its IP68 waterproof construction makes it suitable for submerged UV lighting applications when installed within the specified immersion conditions and with appropriately protected electrical connections.

Available UV Wavelengths & Irradiance

The CureUV IP68 Waterproof Flexible UV LED Strip Light is available in four wavelength options: 254 nm, 365 nm, 385 nm, and 395 nm. Its waterproof construction supports specialized UV lighting installations in wet environments and suitable submerged applications.

The following radiometer readings have been reported for the corresponding wavelengths. Measurements specifically verified for the IP68 construction have not yet been identified.

Wavelength	Reported Irradiance	Application Considerations
254 nm	Not measured	UV-C wavelength option for specialized applications requiring verified germicidal ultraviolet output and appropriate safety controls.
365 nm	0 mW/cm²	UV-A illumination for compatible fluorescence, inspection, and UV-reactive applications.
385 nm	31 mW/cm²	UV-A output for compatible curing materials and specialized ultraviolet lighting systems.
395 nm	5.2 mW/cm²	Near-ultraviolet illumination for compatible UV-reactive materials and custom lighting applications.

Active UV Output: The UV LEDs emit ultraviolet radiation during operation, with the emission wavelength determined by the selected variant. The actual irradiance delivered to a surface depends on installation conditions, working distance, and the optical characteristics of the protective covering.

254 nm UV-C Option: The 254 nm wavelength is associated with germicidal ultraviolet applications. However, actual UV-C transmission through the waterproof covering and effective irradiance must be verified before the strip is used for disinfection or other germicidal applications.

Irradiance Note: The values shown are supplied radiometer readings for the corresponding wavelengths, not yet confirmed as measurements of the IP68 version. Measurement distance, instrument calibration, and test conditions have not been provided. The 365 nm reading of 0 mW/cm² should be verified before drawing conclusions about actual UV output.

For submerged applications, irradiance at the target surface may differ from measurements taken in air. Performance should be evaluated under the intended installation conditions.

Features & Benefits

Active UV Illumination

The UV LEDs emit ultraviolet radiation during operation, with the spectral output determined by the selected wavelength. Visible illumination alone does not establish the intensity of the ultraviolet radiation.

For applications requiring a specific UV dose or irradiance, measurements should be performed using a suitable UV radiometer with the appropriate wavelength sensitivity and calibration.

UV-Reactive Displays & Holographic Visual Effects

Depending on the selected wavelength and the materials being illuminated, the UV LED strip may be incorporated into specialized displays featuring UV-reactive graphics, coatings, or holographic visual elements.

The resulting appearance depends on the optical characteristics of the display material and its response to the selected UV wavelength. Compatibility should be verified for the intended installation.

Installation & Electrical Connection

Connect the UV LED strip to a compatible 12V DC power supply, observing the correct electrical polarity. Ensure the power supply is rated for the installed strip length and electrical load.

For submerged installations, verify the permitted immersion conditions and ensure that all wiring connections, cable terminations, and power supply components are protected appropriately for the installation environment.

Important: An IP68 rating does not independently establish an unlimited immersion depth or duration. Follow the product's specified installation and immersion limits.

Prefer the Standard UV LED Strip?

For installations that do not require waterproof protection, explore our Flexible UV LED Strip Light – 12V DC – Standard (Non-Waterproof).

The standard version is available in 365 nm, 385 nm, 395 nm, and 405 nm, including the popular 405 nm option for compatible UV curing applications.

UV Safety Information

Warning: Ultraviolet radiation can cause serious eye and skin injuries. The 254 nm UV-C option requires particular care because direct or reflected exposure can be hazardous. Use appropriate shielding, interlocks, protective equipment, and installation procedures.

Never look directly at operating UV LEDs. Follow all applicable electrical and UV safety requirements, particularly for submerged installations.
