Overview

The Lumishore 010-04535-00 is a 2.5 m ECLIPSE SNL100 RGB neon flex light for creating a continuous line of accent lighting on a 12V DC system (10 to 15V DC). It is sealed to an IP68 level for wet areas on board, so it can live under gunwales, in a cockpit coaming, along steps, or in a cabin recess where it may see spray and washdowns.

This style of flex lighting avoids the dotted look of individual LEDs and reads as one smooth strip of color. The profile is about 12.0 mm x 6.1 mm, which helps when you are planning channels, trim gaps, or tight routing spaces. The strip can be cut to length and re-sealed for a clean fit on custom installs.

Key features

• 2.5 m length with cut-to-length installation when you need to tailor runs to the boat.
• RGB output with 120 RGB LEDs per meter for a line of light that stays uniform and dot-free.
• 12V DC only (10 to 15V DC); plan up to 0.5A (6W) per meter for load calculations.
• IP68 sealing for areas that see spray, rain, and routine washdowns.
• Simple 4-wire connection for RGB lighting control systems, with bottom or side cable exit options for cleaner routing.
• Cross-section of approximately 12.0 mm x 6.1 mm for tucking into channels, coves, and trim lines.

Installation and setup

Lay out the run before you cut so you can keep the end termination in a protected spot and leave room for strain relief at the cable. On boats, many lighting issues come from chafe and vibration, so route the lead away from sharp edges and give the cable a supported path back to the controller.

If you shorten the strip, seal the cut end before final mounting so the water seal stays intact. For exterior locations, plan the strip so it is recessed where possible to reduce abrasion and limit direct UV exposure.

Electrical and control integration

This strip is meant for 12V DC only. If your vessel is primarily 24V, it needs a regulated 12V feed or a DC-DC converter sized for the total lighting load. Keep voltage drop in mind on long runs, especially when the controller is mounted far from the lighting zone.

The light uses a 4-wire RGB connection, so it should be paired with the correct RGB controller for your system. Use marine-grade, tinned conductors and sealed connectors wherever the wiring passes into damp lockers or cockpit voids.

Compatibility and fit

Confirm you have a mounting path that can accept the strip's approximate 12.0 mm x 6.1 mm profile and that your intended recess has room for bends without kinking. A quick dry fit along the gunwale liner or headliner route usually tells you if you need a shallow channel, a deeper recess, or additional support points.

Use on board

This is a good match for owners who want a continuous accent line rather than point lighting, and for boats already set up with RGB lighting control. It works well for courtesy lighting along steps, under-seat toe-kicks, coamings, and other edges where you want visibility and ambiance without glare.

Maintenance and care

Rinse the installation area with fresh water after saltwater use and avoid harsh solvents on the flex material. Periodically check that the cut end seal and cable entry remain intact, and re-secure any sections that start to move due to heat cycling or vibration.
