PlashLights Rope & Strip Lights

PlashLights LED Rope & Strip Lights: Built for the Water, Ready for Anywhere

When it comes to flexible LED lighting that can genuinely handle a marine environment, PlashLights has earned a strong reputation among boaters, anglers, and outdoor enthusiasts. Their rope and strip lights aren't just afterthoughts in a broader catalog — they're a core part of a lighting lineup engineered from the ground up to survive saltwater, UV exposure, and the constant vibration life on the water demands.

IP68-Rated, Marine-Grade Construction

The defining characteristic of PlashLights' flexible LED strip lineup is its IP68 waterproof rating. IP68 marine-grade construction is designed to provide low-glare courtesy lighting for boats, cockpits, helm stations, night fishing, and outdoor marine applications. That rating means full submersion protection — not just splash resistance — making these strips suitable for under-gunnel runs, transom accents, and anywhere moisture is a real concern.

The LED strip lights feature 60 very bright LED triplex nodes per meter and are completely waterproof, fitting applications such as under boat gunnels and decks, on pontoon boats, outside patios and bars, under vehicles, and even in pool houses.

Color Options: From Functional to Show-Stopping

PlashLights offers their flexible strip lights in an impressive range of color options to suit both practical and aesthetic goals. Color options include Cool White, RGB (all colors except true white), and RGBW (all colors plus a true white) — with a Bluetooth RGBW controller available separately for full wireless color management. For night fishing and low-light navigation, their dedicated red strip light stands out: red lighting has long been a preferred choice among boaters because it allows eyes to stay better adapted to darkness, making it easier to move around the cockpit, check navigation equipment, and monitor electronics without reducing visibility beyond the boat.

Dot-Free Design & Long Service Life

A common complaint with strip lights is the visible "dotting" effect between individual LEDs. PlashLights addressed this directly in their newer offerings: the 2025 lineup introduces a "Dot Free" design using LED Neon technology, operating on 12 volts DC with an amp draw of 0.275A/ft and a 50,000-hour expected lifetime. The strips are also UV rated, meaning they will not yellow over time — a critical consideration for lights exposed to intense sun on open water.

Versatile Sizing and Easy Customization

These flexible LED strip lights can be cut at designated cut points marked along the strip, though cutting anywhere other than the marked locations may damage the lighting circuit. PlashLights carries a variety of sizes from 1–32 ft , making it straightforward to find the right length for any install — whether you're lining the full underside of a pontoon deck or adding a short accent strip to a helm station. Both 12V and 24V options are available to suit different vessel electrical systems.

Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

Confidence in a lighting product is hard-won in marine environments. PlashLights products are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty for the original purchaser, designed to provide long-term confidence in the quality and durability of their marine lighting products, including LED strip lights. That kind of backing reflects a brand that stands behind how its strips perform in the real world — not just in a spec sheet.

Whether you're rigging a bass boat for tournament night fishing, accenting a pontoon for evening cruises, or adding underbody glow to a truck or golf cart, PlashLights' rope and strip lights deliver the durability, color versatility, and install-friendly design the job requires.
