Which address strip to choose?

Question

Arduino

The tape will be filled with liquid glass and will be placed indoors, is the IP68 standard better for this or is IP67 enough? Or can a simple tape without protection be dispensed with?

Answer 1

Конечно думаю, что вряд ли жидкое стекло навредит ленте с IP67, но все конечно может быть. Рекомендую IP68, но она будет чуть тусклее, чем 67'я

Answer 2

What is meant by "liquid glass"?
If we are talking about "liquid glass", which is an aqueous alkaline solution of silicates and is used as an additive to concrete, and in construction for waterproofing, then it should not be used with tape at all.
If we are talking about "liquid glass" which is a special two-component composition that hardens and turns into transparent plastic, then it doesn't matter what tape to use, you can do it without protection at all.
You should also think about cooling in advance, because. some LED strips tend to get warm and filled with plastic can overheat, individual LEDs will go out and it will turn out ugly. It may be worth checking the tape for heat before pouring it with plastic tightly. It is also worth once thinking about repairing, it is likely that in a year or two some diodes will burn out and you will want to replace the tape, and it is tightly filled with plastic.
