Built to bend, not to breakThe whole idea behind this
bendable LED strip is the zig zag copper trace: instead of a straight ladder of solder pads, the circuit weaves side to side so the board can flex horizontally along its own plane. That means you can shape it around a curved cove, a round column, an oval ceiling detail or a wave-shaped bulkhead and still have one uninterrupted line of light — no corner connectors, no soldered jumps, no dark gaps where two pieces meet. The board is a 2oz density white PCB, 6.5 mm wide and 2 mm thick, which reflects light forward and dissipates heat well for long, stable operation. Factory-applied 3M double sided tape runs the full length for mounting on clean, non-porous surfaces.
Light quality you can trust on finishesWith 120 LEDs per meter, the diodes sit close enough to blend into a smooth line rather than a row of dots, especially behind a diffuser. Output is 1000 lumens per meter at 9.6W/M, which is a comfortable 104 LM/W — bright enough for real under-cabinet task light, gentle enough for ambient cove work. The
3000K warm white tone flatters wood, brass, warm paint and stone, while
CRI 90+ keeps colours honest for retail displays, bathrooms and anywhere people check themselves in a mirror. SDCM under 5 means colour consistency from reel to reel, so a second order won't look green or pink next to the first.

Wiring, dimming and installationThis is a
constant voltage 24V strip, so it needs a 24V DC driver sized to the total wattage of your run, with headroom for comfort. Respect the 5 m maximum run: pushing past it causes visible voltage drop and, over time, damage to the strip. The spec sheet illustrates three proven methods — parallel connection (strongly recommended, each run fed from the supply), middle connection (a feed wire tapped to the centre of a longer line to prevent dimming at the far end) and double end connection (powered from both ends, which doubles your maximum run, and can even use two identical supplies, one at each end). Cut only on the marked 50 mm points. For
dimming, choose a driver and control compatible with DMX PWM, RF PWM, 0-10V or MLV incandescent dimming, and keep the same dimming protocol across the whole installation.
Where it works, and what's in the Documentation tabThink curved reception desks in a clinic, a rounded island toe-kick in a kitchen renovation, spiral stair handrails, arched doorways in a restaurant, oval ceiling coves in a condo living room, cylindrical display podiums in a boutique. Because it is IP22, keep it to dry, protected indoor locations; for damp, exterior or splash-prone runs, choose the wet-rated family instead, such as the
LED strip 9.6W/m 24V 48W 30K IP66. Want colour or tunable white elsewhere in the same project? Look at the
LED strip 14.4W/m 24V 72W RGB IP22 or the
LED strip 20W/m 24V 100W IP22 CCT, and for a cosy dimmed glow, the
LED strip 17W/m 24V 2440K dim to warm. The complete technical PDF, including the dimensioned drawing and the three connection guides, is available in the Documentation tab.
