{"title":"Side-Light Flexible White LED Strip - 480 LEDs per meter - 1m","handle":"side-light-flexible-white-led-strip-480-leds-per-meter-1m","url":"/products/side-light-flexible-white-led-strip-480-leds-per-meter-1m","description":"A 1-metre flexible LED strip with 480 cool white SMT LEDs per metre, arranged in a chip-on-board configuration and diffused with silicone epoxy. The result is a continuous, smooth light output that resembles neon tubing — without the need for transformers or glass.\n\nThis is a side-light strip, meaning light emits from the thinner edge rather than the face. The ultra-flexible design makes it ideal for slim, elegant edge lighting on art, signage, or architectural features.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nLED Density – 480 LEDs per metre (chip-on-board)\n\nColour – Cool white, non-addressable\n\nVoltage – 9V (bright) to 12V (very bright)\n\nLight Direction – Side-emitting (edge lighting)\n\nDiffuser – Translucent silicone rubber, sealed in silicone tube\n\nMounting – Adhesive backing\n\nWeather Resistance – Silicone casing suitable for outdoor projects (not rated for submersion)\n\nLength – 1 metre\n\nWiring – 2 wires (red/black)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nArt and signage edge lighting\nArchitectural accent lighting\nCostumes and wearable projects\nBike lighting and festival decorations\n\n\n\nNote: This is not an addressable (NeoPixel) strip — individual LEDs cannot be controlled separately. Use a microcontroller with PWM output and an N-MOSFET or ULN2803 to control brightness.\n\n\nResources\n\nAnalog LED Strip Control Guide\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1668,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5685","price":43.14,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":28,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
