Overview

The Lumishore 010-04386-00 is a 2500 mm SL180 IP68 LED strip light that supports full-spectrum CRGBW color along with tunable white from 2700K to 6500K. It packs 180 LEDs per meter into a 14.5 mm x 5 mm profile, so it fits cleanly under coamings, behind toe-kicks, inside lockers, and along steps.

The strip is fully sealed for wet areas but it is meant for above-water installations only, not for permanent submersion. This is a factory-sealed length and is not intended to be cut; it runs through a LUX Strip Light Driver and can be dimmed and color-controlled from a momentary switch or an integrated lighting control setup.

Key features

• 2.5 m (2500 mm) SL180 strip length with a 14.5 mm x 5 mm cross section for tight mounting spaces
• Full-spectrum CRGBW output plus tunable white range from 2700K to 6500K for matching cabin, cockpit, or deck lighting preferences
• 180 LEDs per meter for a smoother light line in common mounting locations
• IP68-rated, fully encapsulated construction for washdowns and damp areas above the waterline
• UV-resistant and salt-spray tested for typical coastal and offshore exposure
• Mounts with adhesive backing and screw clips; mechanical fasteners are recommended in wet areas and around bends
• Powered through a LUX Strip Light Driver; multiple strips can be supported up to 10 m total strip length per driver, depending on the driver used
• Control options support a simple momentary switch and expanded integration through compatible lighting control components

What's included

• One (1) LUX Strip Light SL180

Installation and setup

Plan the run so the strip can sit flat without twisting. The strip can be bent on the vertical axis with a minimum 50 mm bend radius; avoid horizontal bends and do not twist the strip during installation.

For adhesive mounting, clean the surface with isopropyl alcohol, press the edges of the strip into place (avoid pressing on the LED area), and allow about 24 hours for the adhesive to set before powering up. In outdoor areas, wet lockers, or tighter bends, add screw-mounted fasteners along the run for extra hold.

Electrical and control integration

This strip light is meant to be used with a LUX Strip Light Driver rather than wired directly to the boat's supply. With a regulated driver, the system can be fed from 10.5 to 31 V DC, which covers most 12 V and 24 V boats. Dimming and color control can be handled by a momentary switch, and the same driver ecosystem supports more advanced onboard control when you want it.

Use on board

This is a good match for boaters who want one strip to handle warm white at anchor and color accents for entertaining. It is commonly installed in cockpits, cabins, under gunwales, along stairs, and in storage compartments where you need lighting that stays consistent even when the boat is wet and vibrating.

Maintenance and care

Rinse salt residue from exposed installations during routine washdowns and inspect any mounting clips or fasteners seasonally. If the strip begins to lift at an edge, address it early so it does not get snagged by gear or foot traffic.
