LED modules are devices that emit a very bright level of illumination despite their small size. They were first used for channel letters and advertising signs, but their versatility now extends to almost any lighting scenario.

The smallest LED modules suit a variety of applications — from outdoor landscapes and patios to narrow profiles that are hard to reach with other light sources. Energy-efficient and easy to use for every single project or event, small LED modules are quickly replacing fluorescent bulbs and traditional neon.

What is an LED module?

An LED module is a self-contained lighting unit containing a chain of LED emitters. It can operate standalone or be plugged into a compatible power supply. Unlike incandescent bulbs that heat a filament to produce light, LEDs use an electrified semiconductor, making them more durable, portable and resistant to shock.

One key advantage of small LED modules is their ability to emit high-quality colours directly from the semiconductor. No additional filters are needed to achieve hues like rose gold or pure white, allowing you to match any event or design theme with vivid, consistent light.

Benefits and Typical Uses

  • No flicker issues compared to fluorescent lighting
  • Approximately 30% more energy-efficient than fluorescent alternatives
  • Adjustable beam direction for precise lighting control
  • Low heat emission — LEDs convert most energy directly into light
  • Ultra-slim profile fits into tight spaces
  • High reliability, even in colder environments
  • Environmentally safe — contains no mercury

Applications

  • Halo lighting for flat-cut lettering
  • Illumination of shallow-built channel letters
  • Under-cabinet and display-case lighting
  • Accent and decorative lighting for events
  • Night lights and small feature lights

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you choose which LED module to use?

Consider the installation depth, profile width and environmental conditions. For large signage, use our large LED modules. For medium-depth profiles, choose our standard LED modules. Verify IP ratings for outdoor versus indoor use.

What are large LED modules used for?

Large LED modules are ideal for high-impact signage with at least 50 mm mounting depth, both indoors and outdoors. They offer high lumen output and wide beam angles for uniform illumination.
