Outdoor strip lights connect to a low-voltage transformer, with compatible color-changing versions using a color controller between the light and the system. Depending on the setup, installers can use a standalone mode with a traditional transformer or a controller-based mode to assign groups and adjust hue, saturation, and intensity.

Warm and soft outdoor strip lights provide a fixed white color temperature, with warm light creating a more amber appearance and soft light offering a gentler white appearance for steps, countertops, retaining walls, and hardscape elements. Color-changing strip lights use RGBW technology to adjust hue, saturation, and intensity, allowing installers to create programmable or manually selected lighting effects with compatible control equipment.

Install the flexible outdoor strip light under ledges, stair treads, countertops, or retaining-wall caps, using the included accessories to secure it and conceal the light source while routing low-voltage wiring to the transformer or compatible controller. Use the extruded silicone construction and moisture-protection features as part of a properly sealed installation, and select warm, soft, or color-changing output based on the project’s lighting needs.

Outdoor strip lights use flexible extruded silicone construction to help protect the light from tough outdoor conditions and changing weather. Moisture Block technology adds another layer of protection by helping limit moisture intrusion that can contribute to corrosion and electrical failure.
