The 3528 string handles a dim path light fine. But you need actual visibility — a workshop bench, a boat deck, a shop front that needs to pull in customers after dark. This Jaycar IP65 string runs ten modules of three 5050 SMD LEDs each on a 1-metre wire. Cool white. 12VDC. 500 lumens total — nearly four times the output of the 3528 version at $47.66 RRP. Cut it between modules for individual power, or run the full length as one bright strip. Weatherproof enough for outside. Bright enough that you stop squinting. Add to cart and get that space properly lit before the next storm rolls through
