Eurolux LED Strip DIY Kit 5m /M WW Light — 4.8W Warm White 3000K 370lm IP65, Outdoor G802WW

The Eurolux G802WW is a light strip. Rated IP65, so it is built to sit outside in South African weather.

Key features

• 4.8W replacing roughly 40W — the same brightness for a fraction of the running cost
• 3000K warm white — a consistent tone across every fitting in the room
• 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

Warm white sits at the yellow end of the scale — the tone people associate with a relaxed lounge or bedroom, and the closest match to the old incandescent globes. This one puts out 370 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.
