Description
S-Type 120 LED Strip – Ultra-Precision Lighting for Complex Curves
Our S-Type (zig-zag) LED strip bends around the tightest curves where standard LED strip would break. At just 6mm wide with 120 LEDs per metre, it delivers smooth, shadow-free illumination perfect for precision applications requiring exceptional light density and flexibility.
Advanced Design Features:
-
Ultra-flexible S-shape PCB – bends around tight curves without breaking or damaging LEDs
-
High LED density – 120 LEDs per metre for smooth, professional light output
-
Precision cutting – cut every 25mm (just 5 LEDs) for exact length requirements
-
Professional quality – consistent light output with minimal voltage drop
-
Multiple colours – available in 10 colour options including white and vibrant colours
Perfect Applications:
-
Intricate channel letters – fit LED strip in one continuous piece rather than in multiple pieces and having to connect together
-
Curved architectural features – coves, arches, radius corners requiring precision
-
High-end retail displays – jewellery cases, premium showcases needing smooth light
-
Professional signage – backlit logos requiring precision light placement
-
Tight-space accent lighting – under-cabinet curves, display niches, detailed work
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 10m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 25mm intervals (just 5 LEDs) for perfect fitting
-
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 = 8W (perfect for small precision projects)
-
3 metre run = 24W (typical letter/logo application)
-
Up to 5m = 40W (requires 50W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (100W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming
