Which outdoor lighting would you choose? Waterproof LED strip or LED neon?

As far as I can tell they’re the same thing but one is already in a diffuser and the other is bare.

If it’s something you have to look directly at I’d use the ones already in a diffuser. (The neon)

If it’s something you don’t have to look at and you just want maximum lumens, like for horticultural lighting, or if you already have an enclosure to put the strip, in I’d go with the other ones.

Thank you
