Side emitting RGB pixel LED strips

All LED strips have same structure that are comprised of parallelly LEDs which “soldered” on printed circuit board.

Based on the LED light shines different direction, we classify LED strips into top emitting and side emitting.

The top emitting led strips we called regular led strips because the wide range of applications. Like SMD5050,SMD2835 and SMD2216,etc.

The Side emitting LED catalogue contain SMD3014 side view,SMD4713,SMD335 and the SMD SK6812 4020,etc.

Side emitting LED strips features:

The Side emitting LED strip lighting in a direction parallel to its mounting surface that the side-emitting LEDs have laterally located anodes and cathodes and are soldered along the edge of the flexible circuit board.

We can find side-emitting LEDs shines parallel with the PCB that distribute the light towards ourself, different with the regular (top emitting ) LED strip which is direct the beam vertical to the mounting surface that LEDs facing top and shining straight up from the PCB.

Where these side emitting LED strips can be installed ?

The side emitting design allows the side emitting led strips light to fit to the tight spaces to provide unobtrusive lighting . By emitting this side view strip from the side you can mount the LED on an edge that creates a unique lighting application like straight run or soft curves. Due to the side emitting led tape features slim, flexible, it can be hidden from view that is ideal for providing accent, decoration, border and contour lighting that regular LED strips would be unable to reach.

Catalogue of side emitting LED strips:

Currently our side emitting led strips range of side emitting single color led strip, digital side emitting RGB led pixel tapes from DC5V to DC24V.

1. Single color side emitting led strips, mainly is 3014 side emitting led strips from 60 -120 leds per meter normally are slim 5mm – 8mm PCB.
2. Digital side emitting RGB pixel led tapes we have two version:

• The famous integrated SK6812 4020 series, from 60 pixels to 144 pixels per meter with 5V working voltage.

SK6812 SIDE is a smart LED control circuit and light emitting circuit in one controlled LED source. Each lighting element is a pixel. So we say SK6812 4020 side emitting RGB pixel LED strips are individually addressable to control.

• Another version is the external IC chip use the WS2811 or SM16703P to make it. It is 3 leds per pixel. This one we choose SMD4713 RGB side emitting LED to make it with 12V working voltage.

We design these digital RGB pixel side emitting strip in order to make this strip achieving high quality standard, better reliability and durability.

One of the best and most popular uses for this digital side emitting pixel led strip is in or around a car headlight mimicking the Audi style LED headlight look or other brand car headlight that make the car headlight gorgeous.

If you chose the side emitting single color led strips for car headlight, the dual-color Cool White & Amber side emitting strip is perfect for Head Light + Turn Signal application with a switchback driver.

For car lighting is the side emitting led strips typical application. If you have any ideas to decorate your car Interior and exterior Lighting or special scene applications, tell us freely.
