A company named Recpro on Ebay sells a kit that is IP68 outdoor rated for about $50. The LED strip is encased in a waterproof silicone sleeve.

They don't say what LED they use but from looking at some review photos they appear to be 2835s. I sent Recpro an email asking what they are, current draw per 15ft and if they are PWM controllable. I'm sure they are PWM dimmable but doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks for all the quick replies and help
