Side Emitting LED Strip

Shaped diodes that shine sideways for glare-free signage, edge, and contour lighting.

Side emitting (side-view) LED strips use diodes mounted to emit light laterally instead of upward, creating a precise, glare-free luminous edge. They are the industry-standard linear lighting solution for signage lettering, edge highlighting, and architectural contour work, available from single color through COB in a range of densities and waterproof ratings.

Applications

Questions

What is a side emitting led strip?

A side emitting LED strip features diodes that are mounted to shine light sideways (parallel to the PCB) instead of upwards. This creates a distinct lateral light beam, making it perfect for edge lighting.

What are the side emitting led strip lights used for?

They are primarily used for advertising logo lighting, signage lettering, outline objects, edge highlighting for glass or acrylic, and architectural contour lighting where a visible edge of light is desired.

What is the warranty of side emitting led strips?

We provide a standard 5 years warranty for our professional-grade side emitting LED strip series, ensuring long-term reliability for your projects.

What are the waterproof types for side emitting led strip lights?

We offer IP20 (non-waterproof) for indoor use, IP65 (silicone tube/coating) for damp locations, and IP67 (silicone extrusion) for outdoor and wet environments.

Can you offer free samples for side view led strip lights?

Yes, we can provide free samples for testing and evaluation. Customers are only required to cover the shipping costs.

Need a custom side emitting led strip?

Voltage, CCT, CRI, PCB width, IP construction, reel length and packaging are configured per project. Send us your application and we will recommend a model and prepare samples.
