Introduction:
"Can silicone LED strips meet waterproof requirements for outdoor use?" With the surge in demand for outdoor landscape lighting, this question has become a core concern for global buyers. As an innovative leader in flexible lighting, Shenzhen Jumei Lighting has redefined outdoor waterproof lighting standards with its independently developed COB silicone strip technology. This article will provide an in-depth analysis of how silicone encapsulation achieves IP67-level protection and reveal the groundbreaking innovations in LED strip waterproofing technology by Jumei Lighting.
1. Why are traditional LED strips unsuitable for outdoor applications?
Conventional LED strips adopt a bare PCB strip design with only IP20 protection rating, presenting significant limitations:
· × Exposed chips prone to short circuits when exposed to moisture
· × Risk of solder joint oxidation, drastically reducing lifespan
· × UV radiation accelerates circuit aging, increasing failure rates
Industry data warns: Unprotected LED strips exhibit a failure rate as high as 47% in humid environments (Source: LEDs Magazine).

2. How Does Silicone Encapsulation Technology Achieve Revolutionary Waterproofing?Jomo Lighting employs a dual-composite process (Dual Protection System), overcoming waterproofing challenges through material science and structural innovation:
(1) Molecular-Level Protection: Characteristics of Silicone Material
· Chemical formula mSiO₂·nH₂O forms a three-dimensional network structure
· UV resistance rating of UL94 V-0, temperature tolerance range of -50℃ to 200℃
· 0.3mm precision wrapping achieves airtight encapsulation
(2) COB + Silicone Synergistic Enhancement
· Chip-on-Board Technology: Directly bonds LED chips to flexible substrates
· Secondary Encapsulation Process:
① Silicone tubing potting
② Extrusion molding
· Passes 5 QC inspections to ensure 100% bubble-free encapsulation
