IP68 Neon Flex

Fancy something that can literally light up underwater? Brilliant! You've just discovered our collection of IP68 Neon Flex – the ultimate waterproof lighting solution for when "a bit water-resistant" simply won't cut it.

Our IP68 Neon Flex takes waterproofing to the extreme. These aren't just splash-proof or rain-resistant – we're talking fully submersible, underwater-capable lighting that keeps shining even when completely submerged. Perfect for swimming pools, water features, marine applications, or anywhere that gets properly wet.

What makes our IP68 Neon Flex special is that magical IP68 rating. This means they're not only completely dust-tight but can handle continuous underwater immersion beyond 1 metre depth. So while our IP67 range handles temporary dunking, these beauties can live underwater permanently – now that's impressive!

We've got a fantastic range of options – various sizes, bending profiles, voltage choices, and of course, a brilliant spectrum of colours including warm whites, cool whites, and vibrant RGB options for those looking to create dynamic underwater light shows.

Unlike old-fashioned glass neon, our flexible silicone IP68 Neon Flex is virtually unbreakable, incredibly energy-efficient, and built to withstand even the harshest environments for years. Seriously, these things are tough!

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between IP67 and IP68 Neon Flex?
Great question! While both are waterproof, IP67 can handle temporary immersion (up to 30 minutes at 1 metre depth), while our IP68 Neon Flex can remain permanently underwater. If you're lighting a pool, fountain, or anything consistently submerged, IP68 is definitely what you need. For most other outdoor applications where submersion isn't continuous, IP67 works brilliantly.

Can IP68 Neon Flex actually go in swimming pools?
Absolutely! That's one of the primary uses for this range. They're designed specifically to be installed in swimming pools, hot tubs, fountains, and other water features. Just make sure you're pairing them with the appropriate waterproof power supplies and connectors, which we also stock. And of course, we always recommend professional installation for underwater applications to ensure everything's properly sealed and safe.

How deep can IP68 Neon Flex go underwater?
Our IP68 Neon Flex is tested to remain functional at depths beyond 1 metre. The exact maximum depth can vary between specific products in the range, so it's worth checking the detailed specifications for the particular model you're interested in. For most residential pools and water features, they're more than capable of handling the depth.

Do you offer different voltage options for IP68 Neon Flex?
We certainly do! You'll find both 12V and 24V options in our range. The 24V versions are typically better for longer runs as they maintain brightness more consistently over distance, while 12V works brilliantly for smaller installations. Both are low-voltage and safe for underwater use when properly installed.

What colours are available in your IP68 Neon Flex range?
We've got a fantastic selection! You can choose from warm white (2700K-3000K) for a cosy golden glow, neutral white (4000K-4500K) for balanced lighting, and cool white (6000K-6500K) for a crisp, contemporary look. We also offer vibrant single colours and RGB/RGBW options that let you change colours and create dynamic effects – perfect for mood lighting in pools and spas!

How do you install IP68 Neon Flex in underwater applications?
Installation in underwater environments requires careful planning and typically needs professional input. You'll need to use our special waterproof mounting channels, connectors, and power supplies rated for submersible use. All connections must be properly sealed with waterproof end caps and sealant. We provide detailed installation guides with our products, and our team is always happy to offer advice for your specific underwater project.

How flexible is IP68 Neon Flex?
Quite flexible! We offer both horizontal and vertical bending profiles that can follow curves and contours brilliantly. The waterproof housing does make it slightly less bendy than non-waterproof versions, but it's still fantastic for creating custom shapes or following architectural features. Each product has a specified minimum bending radius – check the product details for specifics.

Can I cut IP68 Neon Flex to size?
Yes, most of our IP68 Neon Flex can be cut at marked intervals along the strip. However, this is where things get a bit tricky for underwater use – after cutting, you must properly seal the end using our waterproof end caps and sealant to maintain the IP68 rating. For underwater installations, we often recommend having us prepare custom lengths for you to ensure the waterproof integrity is maintained.

How long will IP68 Neon Flex last underwater?
Our IP68 Neon Flex is built to last, with typical lifespans of 30,000 to 50,000 hours even in underwater conditions. The robust waterproof housing actually helps protect the LEDs inside from external factors. That said, water quality (particularly in chlorinated or salt water pools) can affect longevity, so occasional inspection is recommended.

Do you have smart control options for IP68 Neon Flex?
Yes! For RGB and RGBW versions, we offer waterproof controllers that allow you to create dynamic colour changes and effects. These can be controlled via remote, smartphone app, or even integrated with smart home systems. Just remember that while the Neon Flex itself is IP68 rated, controllers often have different ratings, so they'll need to be installed in dry, protected locations.
