Do I need to have a DC-DC step-down buck converter between the LED strips and the 12V DC marine system illuminating the boat's engine room using LED strips?

If I want to illuminate the engine room of my boat with your LED strips, do I need to have a DC-DC step-down buck converter between your LED strips and my 12V DC marine system? Oftentimes, the 12V system is cranking out as high as 13.7V.

Our 12-volt LED strip lights are not rated for use above 12 volts and use with a 12-volt battery that outputs more than 12 volts would unfortunately reduce the reliability and lifetime of the product. As such, we would recommend using a step-down voltage converter to ensure the LED strip input does not exceed 12 volts at any point.

Do you sell a step-down?

Unfortunately, we do not sell any voltage step-down or any similar DC-DC equipment. We would recommend searching third-party suppliers for appropriate equipment.
