Ourdoor LED lighting

[RickH]

I have a wood T&G ceiling (3.3m x 3.3m) on outdoor structure.
With a void in the middle of 1.5 x 2.0m

Currently no lights, I had liked the idea someone posted here of a ‘starry sky’ effect using fibre optics. However, getting close to £800 to put that in place.
https://www.stellarlighting.co.uk/shop/p/lek-431-app is nice but once you buy that and Formex mounting board … not cheap.


Plan B is that I put a small lip of wood (like a ~50mm horizontal pelmet or similar) around the internal void, and put some form of LED strip behind that ….. would sine light up …. But not be visible itself.

A Question looking for help on

This is an outside structure - there are no walls its pitched roof structure over a hot tub ….. so although never exposed to rain or direct outside, it will be subject to moisture.
Been looking at the flexible LED strips such as:

These though are indoor only ….. anybody know of outdoor ones
I have seen https://www.screwfix.com/p/calex-outdoor-5m-rgbw-led-strip-light-24w-450lm/311rh

These aren’t for hidden light source though – they are to be on show.

Anybody any suggestions.

I have the first one linked to, the real is reasonably weather proof, but the mains dropper, controller, and way it plugs in is not.

I also have a Lidi one, far more robust, but much harder to bend into shapes you want.

The other way is to put inside a clear plastic tube, but question is where can the boxes go.

I have IP65 boxes in the roof so could mount boxes above ceiling, but need LEDs that will be hPoy with high level if humidity when Hot Tub in use.
