    Default LED Strips for outdoor use

    Hi everyone.
    I want to use LED Strip lights (Neon) to decorate my food stall.

    This is the flexible stuff I'd like to use.

    How do I power it? How do I make the connection waterproof?

    Does anyone have any experience with this please?


    Thanks a lot
    Graham

    Default IP 68 connectors

    I have used connectors like this in many cases, Cables are soldered and sealed with shrinktubes (Glue version) 2 layers. When soldering directly on the strips, I have also sealed with PlastiDip. (Liquid Rubber) but this does not last outdoors for years at the time. Quick and dirty for a wet haloween evening.
