Construction and light output
The heart of this bundle is a flexible
LED strip built with
3528 SMD (Surface Mount LED) diodes — a small, evenly spaced chip that produces a smooth, continuous line of light instead of visible hot spots. There are
300 LEDs spread across the full
5 metre length, sealed into a self-adhesive flexible silicon band. That band is the whole trick: it bends around corners, wraps columns, follows the curve of a display case and sticks straight onto clean, dry surfaces with its factory adhesive backing. It's thin and light enough to sew or tape into fabric, which is exactly why costume builders and prop makers keep reaching for it.

Electrical and installationEverything runs at
12V low voltage, which keeps the installation simple and approachable — no junction box, no hardwiring, no electrician needed for a temporary setup. The included
12V power pack holds
8 AA alkaline batteries and connects directly to the strip, so your only real planning decision is where to hide the pack. Consumption is
4.8W per metre and the
recommended power supply is rated at
6W per metre, a healthy margin that keeps things stable. Mount the strip on a clean, dry, smooth surface for the best adhesion, and give it a light press along the full run. Keep the run straight rather than kinked at sharp angles, and route the wire so the battery pack stays accessible for changes.
Dimming and controlThe bundle includes a
dimmer and a
wireless remote, so you control brightness from across the room without crawling behind a booth wall or under a table. That matters more than people expect: full output when the doors open and the crowd walks in, then a soft, low setting for speeches, dinner service or evening photos. One kit, several moods, no rewiring.
Applications, compatibility and documentationThink tradeshow booths and exhibit stands, outdoor kiosks and farmers' market tables, retail window displays, pop-up shops, wedding arches and reception tables, parade floats, stage props, illuminated signage mock-ups, and of course
LED Halloween costumes. It suits both residential and commercial projects, especially anywhere permanent wiring isn't allowed or isn't worth the trouble. For a permanent, powered version of the same
