S-Type 60 LED Strip (2nd Gen) – Enhanced S-Shape Lighting with Improved Efficiency
Our enhanced S-Type design featuring a newly engineered PCB that delivers better heat dissipation whilst maintaining the flexibility you need. This improved thermal management keeps the LEDs running cooler and brighter for longer, combined with significantly improved energy efficiency for lower running costs.
2nd Gen Improvements:
-
50% more efficient – just 4.8W per metre vs 9.6W of 1st Gen
-
Enhanced heat dissipation – redesigned PCB keeps LEDs cooler and brighter for longer
-
Improved reliability – better thermal management extends performance life
-
Same flexibility – retains the bendable S-shape design with 50mm cutting intervals
-
Extended warranty – 5-year coverage demonstrates our confidence in quality
Perfect Applications:
-
Intricate channel letters – fit LED strip in one continuous piece rather than in multiple pieces and having to connect together
-
Professional signage – improved thermal performance for enclosed installations
-
Long-running displays – retail and commercial applications with extended hours
-
Energy-conscious projects – 50% lower power consumption reduces running costs
-
Quality installations – where thermal performance and efficiency matter
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 = 4.8W (significantly more efficient than 1st Gen)
-
3 metre run = 14.4W (typical letter/logo application)
-
Up to 5m = 24W (requires 30W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (60W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming
