Description
S-Type 60 LED Strip (1st Gen) – Reliable S-Shape Lighting for Standard Applications
Our original S-Type design that started it all. This proven 60 LED per metre strip offers excellent value for projects where standard flexibility and light output meet your needs. Perfect for general signage, basic channel letters, and decorative applications where you need bendable strip at an affordable price point.
Proven Design Features:
-
Ultra-flexible S-shape PCB – bends around curves without breaking or damaging LEDs
-
Reliable performance – proven design with thousands of successful installations
-
Cost-effective solution – excellent value for budget-conscious projects
-
Standard cutting – cut every 50mm (3 LEDs) for flexible length requirements
-
Two colour options – Pure White (6500K) and Warm White (2700K)
Perfect Applications:
-
Standard channel letters – reliable solution for 12mm+ channels with moderate curve requirements
-
General signage – basic backlit signs and displays
-
Decorative lighting – cove lighting, under-cabinet applications
-
Budget-conscious projects – excellent performance without premium features
-
Large installations – cost-effective solution for extensive runs
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 10m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 50mm intervals (3 LEDs) for good flexibility
-
Professional adhesive – pre-applied backing bonds to clean surfaces
-
Simple connection – compatible with all 12V LED drivers and dimmers
Power Planning Made Simple:
-
1 metre = 12W (standard consumption for 60 LED/m strip)
-
3 metre run = 36W (typical letter/logo application)
-
Up to 5m = 60W (requires 100W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (120W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming
