I’m looking at this 10mm wide SMD5050 RGB LED strip and I need to confirm the total size of the IP67 version.
The product says the IP67 version has an additional silicone tube. Can anyone confirm the final width and height/thickness including the silicone coating?
I have an LED profile with an internal space of only 12mm wide and 5mm high, so I need to make sure it will fit.

Thank you for your inquiry.
The overall dimensions of the IP67 LED strip, including the silicone tube, are approximately:
Width: 12 mm
Height / Thickness: 3.8 mm
Your LED profile has an internal space of 12 mm wide and 5 mm high, so the height should fit.
However, because the strip width is also approximately 12 mm, the installation may be quite tight. We recommend checking the actual internal width of your profile carefully or testing a small section before full installation.
This is a good reminder that waterproof LED strips can be noticeably wider than the bare PCB version. Always check the final dimensions after adding the silicone coating.
Yes, especially for aluminum channels. A strip that is 10mm wide without silicone may become around 12mm after waterproofing, which can make a big difference.
That’s correct.
For IP67 strips, the silicone tube improves waterproof protection but also increases the overall dimensions.
When choosing an aluminum profile, it is better to consider the final installed size rather than only the PCB width listed on the product page.
