Optronics Flexible LED Light Strip - Weatherproof - White - 16' Long

Video Transcript for Review of Optronics Trailer Lights - Utility Lights - UCL91CB

Michel: Hi there. I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at the Optronics flexible LED light strip. This is a 16 foot long LED light strip. It's going to provide a nice flexible lighting for your indoor or outdoor spaces. It is what they call weatherproof.

It's got an IP44 rating, so it's going to resist water and dust and UV rays. Now that IP rating, it breaks up so that it's a four rating for the dust and those kinds of things. And then a four rating for water. That's kind of middle of the road, the first rating goes up to six and the second rating goes up to nine. So it's not waterproof by any means, but it will resist any of those contaminants that could cause corrosion.So it should do a good job for you making sure that there's not water seeping in and getting on your circuits or anything.

The circuits are a surface mount technology, which means that they're going to help reduce the heat and absorb shock better. So again, it's going to be longer lasting, very durable for you. If you're not familiar with the benefits of LEDs, they are a very durable, long lasting source of light. They last about 50 times longer than incandescent bulbs, they don't have the brittle filament inside that breaks down, so they last a long time. In fact this strip comes with a lifetime warranty on the LEDs themselves.It's going to be very easy to get this installed.

It's got 3M backing tape on there, so you can just simply peel that off, peel off that cover and it's going to have an inaudible 00:02:10 of surface, so you can pretty much mount this to any surface. And another nice thing about it, if I zoom in here, you can see that every once in a while there's a little line with a scissor indication on there. You can cut at any point there if you want to cut this down to size. So if you don't need the whole 16 feet length for your project, you can cut it down to whatever length you need. If you need to add on, there is a connector available.

You see on the screen there, so that you can connect multiple strips together.If you need more than 16 feet, you can buy a couple and then cut it down to whatever size you need. Very versatile. It's going to be easy to use, it will connect to any 12 volt power source. So very easy to get connected. You've got the pigtail here with the red and black for your power and ground. I'm going to show you how to get that connected here in a moment. Just making sure that this is everything that I need to cover with you. Yep, so let me show you how it works. I've got a light source here, connect our ground to ground, which is our black and then our red is our power. Turn the source on, you can see how bright that is. Let me turn off the lights in the studio here. Very bright light. This is a white light for each of the diodes.So it should do a good job illuminating whatever space you're trying to light up. As far as our measurements go, it is 16 feet long. I measured it just a moment ago. It was 16 feet, three and a half inches. So at least 16 feet it's going to be three eights of an inch wide, and then a quarter. Sorry, an eighth of an inch thick. So if you're in the market for some LED lights, this is a great option, very easy to get hooked up, very easy to attach to wherever you need them with that adhesive backing on there, it'll be very easy to put up on your wall, on your trailer, wherever you're planning on using this, it's going to be an ideal source of light for you. That's going to complete our look at the Optronics flexible LED light strip. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer. Thanks for watching.
