Controller compatibility is essential.

This strip requires a controller capable of driving WS2811 SPI RGB LEDs. Standard PWM RGB, RGBW, RGBCCT, and single-color controllers are not substitutes.

Important for swimming pools: An IP68 rating alone does not establish that an entire lighting system is approved for installation inside a swimming pool. Submerged installation requires confirmation of the permitted immersion conditions, suitable sealed connections, approved electrical protection, and compliance with local pool-lighting regulations.

1 x MALIIGAZA IP68 WS2811 RGB COB LED Strip

Length, voltage, and sleeve color according to the selected product variant.

Included strip features:

• Frosted silicone waterproof construction
• Factory-fitted leads with additional power-injection wiring
• Pre-applied adhesive backing

NOT INCLUDED: LED controller, DC power supply, mounting clips, waterproof sealant, and any installation accessories not specifically listed.

1. Choose your strip. Confirm the required voltage, length, and black or white silicone sleeve.
2. Prepare compatible components. Use a regulated DC power supply with sufficient capacity and an SPI RGB controller supporting WS2811.
3. Check the installation surface. Clean and dry the mounting area and verify the layout and bend path before applying adhesive.
4. Test before installation. With power disconnected, connect the strip to the controller and matching DC supply according to the controller's actual wiring diagram. Then power on and test.
5. Mount securely. Apply the adhesive to a suitable surface. For outdoor, damp, or overhead locations, add appropriately sized mounting clips.
6. Plan power injection if required. The additional power leads at the strip ends can assist with longer runs. Use correct polarity, compatible voltage, and appropriately rated wiring.
7. Protect every connection. Weather-exposed wiring, connectors, and splices must be sealed using suitable waterproof materials and techniques.
8. Complete the final test. Check uniform brightness, correct color sequences, controller operation, and secure mounting.

Do Not Cut at Random Positions

This strip has a minimum cutting interval of 50mm. Cutting at an incorrect position can permanently damage LEDs or internal circuitry.

1. Disconnect the power supply completely.
2. Carefully peel back the rear adhesive where necessary.
3. Locate the short printed cutting marks on the rear side.
4. Cut only at the designated location.
5. Seal the exposed end with a compatible end cap and suitable waterproof sealant.
6. Allow the sealant to cure according to its instructions before exposure to moisture.

We recommend avoiding DIY cutting unless necessary. A cut or modified end does not automatically retain the original IP68 waterproof rating. The completed seal must be suitable for the intended environment.

• LED strip only: A power supply and compatible WS2811 SPI RGB controller must be purchased separately.
• Never connect directly to AC mains: Do not connect this 12V/24V strip directly to AC 110V, 120V, 220V, or 230V. Doing so can destroy the strip and create a serious hazard.
• Match operating voltage: A 12V strip requires a suitable 12V DC supply. A 24V strip requires a suitable 24V DC supply.
• Use an SPI controller: The WS2811 addressable strip is not compatible with ordinary non-addressable PWM RGB controllers.
• IP68 connections: The waterproof rating of the strip body does not automatically make external power supplies, controllers, connectors, or newly cut ends waterproof.
• Swimming pool safety: Do not install inside a pool or other occupied body of water without confirmation that the complete lighting system is suitable, appropriately certified where required, and compliant with local electrical regulations.
• Mounting: Due to the strip's silicone construction and weight, mounting clips are recommended, particularly in humid, outdoor, and overhead installations.
• Cutting: Use only marked cutting locations and professionally reseal any modified ends.
• Power injection: Additional power leads must be connected using correct polarity and suitable electrical protection. Never connect supplies of different voltages to the strip.
• Heat and handling: Avoid sharp bends, stretching, crushing, and installing against unsuitable hot surfaces. Do not operate the strip while tightly wound on a reel.

1. Does this waterproof RGB COB LED strip include a controller and power supply?

No. The package includes only the selected LED strip. A compatible WS2811 SPI RGB controller and a matching DC power supply must be purchased separately.

2. Is this an addressable RGBIC strip or a regular RGB LED strip?

It is an addressable RGBIC COB LED strip using WS2811 ICs. Unlike standard RGB strips, it can display different colors across multiple sections and create dynamic chasing effects with a compatible controller.

3. Which controller works with this WS2811 LED strip?

Use a controller that supports the WS2811 SPI addressable RGB protocol, the selected strip voltage, and the required number of addressable segments. Standard PWM controllers are not compatible.

4. Can I control this LED strip with a smartphone or Alexa?

Yes, when paired with a compatible smart SPI RGB controller that provides the required app or voice-assistant features. The LED strip itself does not have built-in WiFi or Bluetooth.

5. What is the difference between the 12V and 24V versions?

Both versions use WS2811 addressable COB technology. The 24V version supports the longer 10m option. Always choose a matching DC power supply and never interchange the two voltages.

6. Is the 10m LED strip available in 12V?

No. The 10m option is specified for DC 24V only. Shorter lengths are available in 12V or 24V, subject to the selected product variant.

7. How many LEDs and controllable pixels are there per meter?

The strip contains 720 LEDs and 20 WS2811 ICs per meter. Each IC controls a 50mm segment, giving 20 separately addressable segments per meter.

8. Is this COB LED strip waterproof enough for outdoor use?

The strip is specified as IP68 waterproof and is designed for suitable outdoor and wet-area applications. Exposed connectors, power supplies, and controllers still require appropriate waterproof protection.

9. Can I install this IP68 strip underwater in a swimming pool?

IP68 construction makes the strip a candidate for demanding wet environments, but it does not by itself establish pool-installation approval. Confirm the immersion conditions and obtain a compliant, appropriately protected complete lighting system before considering underwater pool installation.

10. Can I cut this waterproof RGB COB LED strip?

Yes. It can be cut at designated 50mm intervals. The cutting marks are visible on the rear after carefully peeling back the adhesive where necessary. Never cut between the marked positions.

11. How do I keep the strip waterproof after cutting?

A cut end must be sealed with a compatible end cap and waterproof sealant. The completed seal must be suitable for the intended environment. DIY cutting does not automatically preserve the original IP68 rating.

12. Does the strip have adhesive backing, and do I need mounting clips?

Yes, it includes adhesive backing. Because the silicone strip is relatively heavy, additional mounting clips are recommended for reliable installation, particularly outdoors, in damp locations, and on overhead surfaces.

13. What power supply do I need for this 15W/m LED strip?

Multiply the strip length in meters by 15W to estimate rated consumption. For example, a 5m strip is rated at 75W and a 10m strip at 150W. Select a matching-voltage DC supply with adequate additional capacity.

14. Will the 10m LED strip experience voltage drop?

The 24V strip is designed to reduce visible voltage loss over longer runs. However, actual results depend on power supply capacity, wiring, current demand, and installation layout. Power injection may still be needed.

15. What are the additional wires at the ends of the strip for?

The additional power leads are intended to support power injection on longer installations. They help deliver DC power to suitable points along the strip and must be wired with correct polarity and voltage.

16. Why does my addressable RGB LED strip not light up or display correctly?

Check the power supply voltage and capacity, controller compatibility, wiring polarity, WS2811 data direction, and controller pixel settings. Always disconnect power before checking connections.

17. How should I maintain an outdoor waterproof LED strip?

Periodically inspect mounting clips, silicone surfaces, end caps, and connection seals. Clean gently with suitable materials and disconnect power if any damaged or moisture-compromised section is found.

18. What certifications and rated LED lifespan does this product have?

Specific certification documents, rated LED lifespan, and permitted IP68 immersion conditions are not stated in the supplied technical specifications. Request the applicable documentation before projects that require verified compliance.
