Silicone LED Neon Flex Strip- Side View (all Sizes)
Side-view design directs light horizontally (not upward/downward), making it perfect for wall washing, edge lighting, or illuminating vertical surfaces. Silicone diffusion ensures no pixelated spots—creating a high-end, uniform aesthetic for indirect lighting.
Product Overview
A side-emitting silicone neon flex strip designed for wall washing, edge lighting, and illuminating vertical surfaces where the light must project horizontally. The LED chips are mounted perpendicular to the strip surface, directing output laterally instead of upward or downward. The food-grade, high-transparency silicone encapsulation provides IP67 waterproofing, UV and corrosion resistance, and acts as a diffusion layer to eliminate visible LED dots. Flexible FR-4 is fully wrapped in silicone, resulting in a slim profile that maintains structural stability while allowing bends with a minimum radius of 10mm in one direction. Available in 12V or 24V DC, with LED types 2835, 5050, 3528, 2216 SMD or COB, and colour options including warm white, natural white, cool white, RGB or RGBW, with CRI Ra above 80, 90 or 95. LED quantity per metre is customizable to match the required brightness and power draw.
Key Benefits
- Side-emitting LEDs direct light horizontally, ideal for wall washing and vertical surface illumination
- Silicone encapsulation removes visible LED dots, creating a uniform, continuous light line
- IP67 rating with UV and corrosion resistance allows use in bathrooms, kitchens, and covered outdoor areas
- Minimum bending radius of 10mm in a single direction enables installation along mild curves
- PWM dimming at 20kHz or above ensures flicker-free performance on video and mobile capture
- CRI Ra above 80, 90 or 95 available for accurate colour rendering in retail and display settings
- LED quantity per metre is customizable, so power consumption matches the actual brightness need
- 12V and 24V DC options support both short runs and longer continuous installations
Problems It Solves
- Top-emitting strips waste light on ceilings or floors instead of illuminating vertical surfaces
- PVC or non-encapsulated strips show individual LED dots when viewed from close range
- Non-IP67 strips fail in humid or semi-outdoor environments due to moisture ingress
- Low-frequency dimming causes visible flicker when the space is filmed or photographed
- Fixed LED density forces over-lighting or under-lighting when the project requires precise brightness
Application Scenarios
- Wall recesses, cornices, and floor skirting in living rooms and hallways for soft lateral lighting
- Outdoor building facades, columns, and balcony edges outlining architectural shapes at night
- Cabinet and shelf lighting where the light must wash the vertical surface without glare
- TV or monitor backlighting to reduce screen glare and improve ambient contrast
- Retail display cases and restaurant counters where uniform edge lighting enhances product visibility
- Patio and pergola edges in covered outdoor areas where rain exposure is expected
- Bed frames, desks, and workspaces where indirect lighting defines the edge without direct glare
Who It Is For
- Lighting distributors stocking a side-view neon flex line for architectural and retail projects
- Interior contractors specifying uniform edge lighting without visible LED dots
- OEM brands needing a flexible strip with customizable LED density and cut lengths
- Project buyers sourcing a durable, IP67-rated strip for protected outdoor or high-humidity environments

Honest Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
| Top-view silicone strip | Side view directs light horizontally; top view is better for ceiling coves and cornices |
|---|---|
| PVC neon flex | Silicone maintains flexibility and UV stability outdoors but costs more per metre than PVC |
| Bare SMD strip in an aluminium profile | The silicone body removes dotting without a separate diffuser, but the profile is not user-serviceable |
Use Guide
Getting the Best Out of It On Site
- Keep bends in a single direction and above the 10mm minimum radius to avoid stressing the encapsulation
- Select 24V for long continuous runs to reduce voltage drop across the line
- Specify CRI 90 or 95 where the strip lights merchandise, food, or skin tones
- Use a PWM dimmer at 20kHz or above where the space will be filmed
- Treat outdoor use as covered installation; IP67 handles rain exposure, not sustained immersion

Questions About Silicone LED Neon Flex Strip- Side View (all Sizes)
What is the minimum order quantity?
Small order quantities are accepted. Send the run lengths and profile size you need and we will confirm the minimum for that configuration.
Can the LED density and cut length be customised?
Yes. LED quantity is customisable, and the strip is cut and terminated to the run lengths on your drawing.
Which voltage should I order?
12V and 24V DC are both available. 24V is generally specified for longer continuous runs because voltage drop across the line is lower.
Is this strip suitable for bathrooms or outdoor use?
It is rated IP67 and IP68 depending on the version, with UV and corrosion resistance, so bathrooms, kitchens and covered outdoor runs are within scope.
Will the strip show LED dots in a close-up view?
No. The silicone encapsulation acts as the diffusion layer, so the run reads as a continuous line rather than individual points.
What colour temperatures and CRI are available?
1800K to 7000K single colour plus RGB and RGBW, with CRI Ra above 80, 90 or 95 depending on what the project specifies.
What payment methods do you accept?
Different payment methods are accepted. Confirm the terms with our sales team when the order is quoted.
