Ultra Narrow LED Strip

Ultra-slim 2.8mm-5mm PCB LED strips for restricted spaces, product backlighting and cabinet illumination.

Ultra Narrow LED Strips, also known as ultra thin, ultra slim, or nano LED strips, feature exceptionally narrow PCB widths of typically 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or 5mm. They are engineered for environments where standard LED strips cannot fit, such as mirror backlighting, product casings, display cabinets and architectural reveals. Because the PCB is so narrow, these strips require installation within an aluminum profile or onto a heat-dissipating surface to ensure optimal thermal management and lifespan.

Questions

What width options are available for ultra narrow LED strip?

Production is offered for 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, and 5mm widths, utilizing various LED packages like SMD1808, 2216, 2835, and COB technologies depending on the required width and brightness.

Do ultra narrow strips need aluminum profile for heat dissipation?

Yes, absolutely. Because the PCB is incredibly narrow, the surface area for passive cooling is drastically reduced. Mounting on an aluminum profile or a metal heat sink is mandatory to prevent overheating and ensure the 50,000-hour lifespan.

Do you support single color, tunable white and RGB?

Yes, the ultra narrow series encompasses Single Color (2mm-5mm), Tunable White CCT (typically 5mm), and RGB (5mm) configurations to meet diverse architectural and product design needs.

Can you support OEM labels and packaging?

Yes. Comprehensive OEM services are available, including custom reel labels, bespoke anti-static bag designs, and custom outer carton printing for bulk orders.

Need a custom ultra narrow 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.
