Wall Copings with underglow

Why Most LED Strips Fail Outdoors — And What This Customer Did Differently

When this customer reached out, they had one goal: create a clean, modern glow under their outdoor wall coping stones.

But they were hesitant — and rightly so.

“We’ve seen outdoor LED strips fail. They turn brown, the light fades, and it ends up looking cheap.”

They’re not alone. It happens all the time.

Most LED strips on the market — even ones claiming to be “premium” — simply aren’t built to survive the British outdoors.

  • ☀️ UV damage causes coatings to yellow and crack

  • 🌧️ Rain and condensation creep into joints and corrode wiring

  • 🔥 Heat build-up inside resin-filled strips and it cooks the LEDs

  • ⚡ Voltage spikes go unchecked, damaging internal components


This is what’s possible — keep reading.
