S-Type 84 RGB LED Strip – Colour-Changing Precision for Dynamic Lighting
Our S-Type RGB strip combines flexible installation with full colour control. At 8mm wide with 84 RGB LEDs per metre, it delivers vibrant colour-changing effects whilst bending around curves where standard RGB strip would break. Perfect for applications requiring both flexibility and dynamic colour control.
RGB Design Features:
-
Ultra-flexible S-shape PCB – bends around curves without breaking or damaging LEDs
-
Full RGB colour control – 16.7 million colour combinations for unlimited creativity
-
Quality RGB LEDs – SMD5050 chips deliver vibrant, saturated colours
-
Flexible cutting – cut every 37mm (3 LEDs) for precise length requirements
-
Professional quality – consistent colour output with minimal voltage drop
Perfect Applications:
-
Intricate channel letters – fit LED strip in one continuous piece rather than in multiple pieces and having to connect together
-
Dynamic signage – logos and displays requiring colour-changing effects
-
Entertainment venues – bars, clubs, restaurants needing mood lighting
-
Architectural features – colour-wash lighting for coves, facades, decorative elements
-
Retail displays – product highlighting with seasonal colour themes
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 5m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 37mm intervals (3 LEDs) for good flexibility
-
Professional adhesive – pre-applied backing bonds to clean surfaces
-
RGB control ready – compatible with all RGB controllers and 12V LED drivers
Power Planning Made Simple:
-
1 metre = 14.4W (higher power due to RGB capability)
-
3 metre run = 43.2W (typical letter/logo application)
-
Up to 5m = 72W (requires 80W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (160W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming

Product Supply Options
The strip is supplied in 10m reel or cut from the reel as per your requirement.
What You Receive:
- ✅ Full Reels (10m): LED strip with 100mm of wire pre-soldered at each end
- ✅ Per Metre: LED strip with adhesive backing
- ⚠️ Per Metre Note: Cut from part reels - wire connection not guaranteed
What's Not Included:
- ❌ Power supply - requires separate 12V power supply
- ❌ RGB controller - requires RGB controller for colour control and effects
- ❌ Connectors - optional LED strip connectors for wire-free connections
- ❌ Mounting profile - aluminium profiles available separately for professional installations
Additional Services:
🔧 Bespoke Service: We can supply cut-to-length sections with pre-soldered cables - just ask!
Important Notes:
- Full reels always include wire connections for immediate use
- Per-metre cuts may require wire attachment (simple solder job or use connectors)
- Continuous lengths up to 10m can be supplied as one piece when ordering multiple metres
- Professional installation recommended for commercial applications
- RGB Controller Required: Unlike single-colour strips, RGB strips need a controller for colour changes
Professional RGB Control
RGB LED strips require controllers for colour changing and effects. Choose from simple manual controllers to advanced systems with smartphone apps, sound activation, and integration with professional lighting systems.
Basic RGB Controllers: RGB controllers - manual colour selection and basic effects
Advanced Controllers: DMX, smartphone app control, sound-to-light, programmable effects
Professional Systems: Compatible with DMX, DALI control protocols for commercial installations
Smart Home Integration: Works with RGB-compatible home automation systems
