Waterproof Neon Flex: IP67 Construction and Specification

Waterproof Neon Flex

Quick Answer: Waterproof neon flex typically uses full silicone extrusion around the LED assembly to achieve IP67 — resisting temporary immersion and weather exposure. Every cut, connector, and end cap must restore the same protection level in the field.

How IP67 Neon Flex Is Built

- LED strip inserted into silicone profile - Continuous extrusion or molded housing - Factory-sealed end caps on standard reels - Optional potting at feed points for harsh sites

What IP67 Does Not Mean

IP67 addresses defined water tests — not unlimited depth or lifetime without maintenance. Document test method on the RFQ.

Field Termination Rules

1. Cut only at marked positions 2. Use manufacturer-approved end caps 3. Fill cavities with compatible sealant where specified 4. Strain-relief cables into junction boxes 5. Photograph seals for O&M records

Q: Can IP67 neon flex be buried? A: Only if SKU is rated and detailed for burial — confirm with factory; many facade lines are IP67 spray/immersion, not permanent burial.

Q: Does waterproofing reduce brightness? A: Housing diffusion may reduce peak lumens vs bare strip — request output per IP SKU.

Conclusion

Specify waterproof neon flex as a system including termination hardware and inspection plan. Mihoray validates outdoor SKUs with documented IP testing tied to BOM revision.
