| Directional Flexible LED Strips
|
 The products on this page are "directional", meaning that the LEDs do not point upward. They point toward the edge of the strip. These products are excellent for signage and cove lighting, especially for narrow or curving spaces, or slim channel letters (indoor use only please). Click image for a close-up. We stock two different types of directional or side-view flexible LED strips. The first is a very slim flexible SMD LED ribbon available in pieces as small as three feet. A full reel is 5 meters or approximately 16 feet. The second type is made with 5mm LEDs. These are sold in 14" pieces only. Connectors are available for longer runs.

Directional or Side-View Flexible SMD LED Ribbon Light
 Directional or Side View Flexible SMD LED Ribbon Light made with very low profile SMD LEDs is available in daylight white, warm white, blue, green, red and yellow. The small size and cool light output make this flexible LED strip an excellent choice for edge lighting, back lighting, cove lighting, anywhere that you need to point the light in a specific direction. The 5500K model is 2-3 times brighter than the 5mm B24 LED strips below. A full spool is 5 meters long, or approximately 16'. There are 60 LEDs per meter. This flexible SMD LED ribbon light is cuttable every three LEDs. Includes wire leads at one end and pre-attached 3M mounting tape. Couplers and exra connectors are available to enable you to make custom lengths.
Sold in a 893mm (approximately 3 foot) sample section or by the full 5 meter reel (approximately 16 ft)
Dimensions: 8mm wide by 2mm tall

Note: This product requires the use of a transformer. Click here for our transformers and dimmers. Take the current consumption in mA shown above to calculate what your total current consumption is. You can then size your dimmer and transformer accurately.
Here's what you do:
- If you are buying a full reel of white or colored non-waterproof ribbon light, take the current consumption for the color you are using for 1 meter and multiply that times 5 to arrive at current consumption for the full reel. Example: 1 full reel of red LED ribbon consumes 480mA per meter, times 5 = 2400mA. Select a transformer with adequate capacity. Note that the current consumption is different for different colors.
- If you are buying 3 feet of white or colored non-waterproof ribbon light, use the current consumption for 1 meter, exactly as stated above. For example, one 3 foot piece of red will consume 480mA, a 6 foot piece will consume 960mA, a 9 foot piece will consume 1440mA and a 12 foot piece will consume 1920mA. Select a transformer with adequate capacity.

These are the connectors for the side view flexible LED strips in the gray section of this page. They do *not* fit the product in the yellow section below. Order only for the strips directly above.
 Side-View Strip Wire-Connector
for 45 or 90 degree turns. |
$1.00 each |
|
 Side-View Strip to Strip Coupler. For joining pieces together to make custom lengths. |
$1.00 each |
|
The Strip Wire-Connector and the Strip Coupler are installed by sliding open the black clip section. Slip the Flexible LED Strip into the Connector or Coupler and make sure they are all the way in. Then slide the black clip closed.
Avoid unnecessary handling and twisting as the Strip can slip out of the Connector or Coupler. Secure Strips in place with the pre-attached self adhesive tape and that will hold the Connector or Coupler in place. The Strip Wire-Connector is used when you need to to make a 45 or 90 degree turn. |

| Note: This product requires the use of a transformer. Click here for our transformers and dimmers. Take the current consumption in mA shown above and multiply it by the number of strips you are going to use. You can then size your dimmer and transformer accurately.
This item also requires the installation of a 12vdc dimmer as found here. No dimmer, NO warranty!
