Pre-Wired for IP-Rated Termination
Each 5 metre roll is supplied with flexible pre-fitted cable on both ends. This is ready for direct connection into IP-rated junctions. For outdoor or splashproof extensions, use 3-pin IP68 connector & protection box – Reference: HL-3PMC-IP68-508 (searchable via our website's top bar).
IP65 Silicone Heat Sleeve
The strip is fully coated with Hi-Line’s precision-applied heat-resistant silicone sleeve. It delivers full IP65 protection. There is no shift in CCT — the light colour remains accurate. The sleeve is clear and professional in appearance, and often barely visible once installed. It also supports thermal dissipation to extend product lifespan.
Genuine 3M™ VHB™ Adhesive
Fitted with 3M™ VHB™ (red liner) adhesive backing. This provides fast and secure installation on flat, clean surfaces such as aluminium. No extra adhesive is needed. It is designed to hold long-term even in elevated temperature or humidity conditions.
Connector and IP Advice
This strip uses a specialised silicone sleeve. No connectors are compatible with the sleeve in place. If connectors must be used, the sleeve can be cleanly removed at the end of the strip. Once removed, the exposed IP00 strip is compatible with all IP00 connectors shown under Related Products. The installer must then re-seal the connection to IP65 using proper methods such as junction boxes or silicone sealant. Soldering is strongly recommended for permanent and long-length installations.
Installation Notes
Maximum length per power feed is 5 metres in one direction. For longer runs, each segment must be powered in parallel from the LED driver. A total of 10 metres can be powered from one driver when arranged as 5 metres left and 5 metres right from a central feed point. This configuration is not in series and helps prevent voltage drop. Never power more than 5 metres continuously from one end. The strip must be mounted on an aluminium surface to support heat dissipation. PWM dimming is supported — always use a compatible PWM controller.
What’s Included
1 x 5 metre roll of IP65-rated LED strip (6000K Cool White), with 300 LEDs and flexible pre-wired cables at both ends.
Driver & Load Planning
Drivers must be selected to handle the total wattage with at least 20% headroom. Refer to the driver compatibility table further down the page. Never exceed 5 metres per feed line.
Installation Guide
A downloadable PDF installation guide is available under the Attachments tab. It includes cutting instructions, layout planning, cable sizing, and voltage drop guidance.
Connector Summary (Important)
Matching connectors shown under the Related Products tab are suitable only when the sleeve is removed. These are IP00 and must be re-sealed by the installer to maintain IP65 protection. Do not use connectors for more than 5 metres of strip. For a permanent and reliable result, soldering is the preferred method.
Larger Installations – Syncing, Power Planning and Remote Control
For continuous lighting up to 100 metres, use 10 separate 10-metre sections. Each section should be powered independently but aligned to appear as one continuous line. Each section must be powered as an isolated circuit. Each can have its own controller. All controllers can be paired to a single RF remote for synchronised operation. Power amplifiers can also be added where necessary. This approach maintains safe current handling while delivering a seamless visual result.
