It's a flexible 16-foot marine LED in a slim 0.2 by 0.5 inch profile, IP67 waterproof, with 16 mounting clips and 2 end caps in the box. Full RGB, so you dial in any color you want.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shadow-Caster RGB Super Mini Neon Strip is the accent lighting a lot of boaters reach for when they want that clean, continuous glow instead of a row of visible dots. It's a flexible neon-style LED run, 16 feet long, in a slim 0.2 by 0.5 inch profile that tucks into places a bulkier strip never could. And because it's full RGB, you're not locked into one color. Red for running the flats at dusk, cool blue for the cockpit at anchor, green in the livewell. You dial it in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShadow-Caster builds this gear for the water first, and it shows. The whole run carries an IP67 waterproof rating, so a wave over the gunwale or a hard rain on the mooring isn't going to kill it. The two included end caps seal the cut ends, and the 16 clips give you a mechanical hold that doesn't rely on adhesive alone. That last part matters more than people think. Sticky-back tape on cold gelcoat lets go eventually. The clips keep the strip put through a season of pounding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower-wise, this draws 15 watts per meter. Across the full 16-foot length that works out to roughly 73 watts, so it's not a trivial load if you're running the whole strip off a small house bank. On short accent runs you can wire it straight into your 12-volt DC system with a properly sized fuse. On longer pulls, step up your wire gauge to keep the voltage from sagging, otherwise the far end of the strip reads dimmer and the color mixing drifts. We usually run heavier wire than the length strictly calls for. It's cheap insurance for even color end to end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere does it go? Just about anywhere you want a soft wash of light without a hot spot. Under the gunwale and toe rail for a night-time deck glow. Around the T-top frame. Inside a livewell so you can see your bait after dark. Down the length of a hardtop or under the console lip for courtesy lighting that won't blow out your night vision. The neon-style diffuser is the whole point here, it spreads the light into an even line instead of the pinpoint dots you get from bare LED tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA couple of honest notes before you buy. This is an RGB strip, which means it needs a compatible RGB controller to actually change colors, and you'll want that controller and its connections to be marine-rated and sealed too. Condensation inside a cheap indoor controller is the number one reason these installs act flaky. And while the strip is flexible, it bends on one axis. It'll follow a gentle curve or a large-radius corner beautifully, but a tight 90-degree bend around thin tubing wants a proper corner connector, not a hard crease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne more thing worth knowing: the strip cuts at fixed points along its length, not anywhere you like, so measure your space against those cut marks before you slice. Trim it too short and you can't add length back. Most boaters find the 16-foot run covers a console and a cockpit accent line with length to spare, but if you're lighting a bigger boat, plan the layout on paper first so you know exactly where each cut lands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottom line, this is a well-built marine accent strip from a brand that lives in the saltwater world. If you want to add color and courtesy lighting to a center console, bay boat, or cruiser without stringing together a dozen little puck lights, the Super Mini Neon Strip is an easy call. Cut it, clip it, seal the ends, wire it up, and you've got a finished look that reads custom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull RGB (Red \/ Green \/ Blue) color mixing so you can set any accent color for the mood or task\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e15 watts per meter output for a bright, even wash of light along the whole run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16-foot continuous length covers a console and a cockpit accent line with room to spare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSlim 0.2 by 0.5 inch cross section tucks under gunwales, toe rails, and hardtop lips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIP67 waterproof rating stands up to spray, rain, and washdowns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNeon-style diffuser spreads the light into a smooth line with no pinpoint dots\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e16 mounting clips included for a mechanical hold that doesn't rely on adhesive alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2 end caps included to seal the cut ends against water intrusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible body follows gentle curves and large-radius corners around framing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Shadow-Caster LED Lighting reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eIs this strip really waterproof enough for an open boat?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eYes.
