Ecliptus 24V Dimmable LED Strip Light 20W IP65 5m - 4000K

The Ecliptus is a 5-metre 24V LED strip light rated at 20W total output, delivering 4000K cool white light through surface-mounted LEDs sealed within an IP65-rated silicone extrusion. The 24V configuration reduces voltage drop over the 5m run compared to 12V alternatives, maintaining consistent brightness from end to end without requiring intermediate power injections.

Designed for both interior task lighting and exterior architectural installations, the IP65 rating provides dust-tight protection and resistance to water jets, making the strip suitable for outdoor fascia lighting, covered patio installations, bathroom perimeter lighting, kitchen under-cabinet runs, and workshop bench illumination. The 4000K colour temperature produces a neutral white output that sits between warm residential lighting and cooler commercial daylight, working well in garages, utility rooms, and commercial kitchen prep areas where colour accuracy matters more than ambient warmth.

The strip is dimmable when paired with a compatible 24V LED dimmer and driver (sold separately). The 10mm profile allows the strip to sit within shallow aluminium extrusion channels or be surface-mounted directly where low projection is required. The silicone coating provides both the IP65 sealing and a diffused light output that softens individual LED hotspots, though many installations still pair the strip with aluminium extrusion and a frosted diffuser cover for a more uniform light line.

Each 5m reel draws approximately 0.83A at 24V DC, which sits comfortably within the output range of most compact LED drivers. The strip can be cut at marked intervals (typically every 50-100mm depending on LED density) to fit specific installation lengths, with unused sections requiring end-cap sealing to maintain the IP65 rating on cut ends.

Does this strip come with a power supply?

No. The Ecliptus requires a separate 24V DC LED driver rated for at least 20W. The driver must also be dimmable if you intend to use dimming functionality. Both dimmable and non-dimmable 24V LED drivers are available separately at Niori.

Can the strip be cut to length?

Yes. The strip can be cut at marked intervals along its length (typically every 50-100mm depending on LED density). Cut ends must be sealed with an IP65-rated end cap to maintain moisture protection, particularly for outdoor installations.

What does IP65 mean for outdoor use?

IP65 provides dust-tight protection and resistance to water jets from any direction. This makes the strip suitable for covered outdoor installations such as under eaves, within patio canopies, or behind fascia panels, but it should not be fully submerged or exposed to standing water.

Is 4000K suitable for living spaces?

4000K is a neutral cool white that works better in task-focused areas (kitchens, garages, workshops) than in relaxation spaces. For living rooms, bedrooms and dining areas, a warmer 2700K-3000K strip typically provides a more comfortable ambient light.
