## 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. This 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. Key Features LED Density – 480 LEDs per metre (chip-on-board) Colour – Cool white, non-addressable Voltage – 9V (bright) to 12V (very bright) Light Direction – Side-emitting (edge lighting) Diffuser – Translucent silicone rubber, sealed in silicone tube Mounting – Adhesive backing Weather Resistance – Silicone casing suitable for outdoor projects (not rated for submersion) Length – 1 metre Wiring – 2 wires (red/black) Ideal For Art and signage edge lighting Architectural accent lighting Costumes and wearable projects Bike lighting and festival decorations Note: 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. Resources Analog LED Strip Control Guide
