Eurolux LED Strip 5m /M Light — 4.8W 300lm IP65, Outdoor G649WW

The Eurolux G649WW is a light strip. Rated IP65, so it is built to sit outside in South African weather.

Key features

• 4.8W replacing roughly 25W — the same brightness for a fraction of the running cost
• 120° beam angle — spreads light through the room rather than in one spot
• IP65 rated — sealed against rain and dust for outdoor use
• 30 000 hours rated life — years of use before it needs replacing

Light quality

This one puts out 300 lumens. That is enough for a bedside lamp, a passage, or one of several fittings sharing a room.

Fitting and compatibility

Running at 12V, it needs a transformer or LED driver — it will not work wired directly to the mains. IP65 means it is sealed against dust and against water jets from any direction, so it can be mounted fully exposed to the weather.

Good to know

This unit is not dimmable — pair it with a standard switch rather than a dimmer circuit, or it will flicker and its life will shorten. Runs on 12V.
