Flexible LED Strip Lights

Flexible LED strip lights are manufactured using several LED emitters on a bendy strip. These flexible strips can be installed almost anywhere and, with their adhesive back, can be stuck to countless surfaces. 

Their flexibility makes them an adaptable form of task or decorative lighting. Flexible LEDs, while affordable, can improve visibility in various settings. 

Common uses for flexible LED strips include under cabinet lighting in kitchens or making creative designs in shop windows.

Our flexible LED strip lights often last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, depending on how often they're used. 

This equals around 7 years of use, making them perfectly priced for their lifespan, offering lasting performance. The lifespan of your strip lights can also be influenced by the quality of the LEDs, how well they’re installed, and whether they’re paired with a suitable power supply. 

Opt for strip lights with excellent heat dissipation and ensure they have sufficient airflow wherever you install them. 

The allure of flexible strip lights is that you can truly put them anywhere: around cupboards, kitchen islands, ceilings, bed frames, stair treads, shower ceilings; you name it!

Their slim profile and easy-stick surface make them ideal for illuminating small corners and awkward areas where traditional lights won’t fit. 

However, they’re not only great for homes. Strip lights look great when used for display counters, bar lighting in shops and restaurants, and even vehicle interiors. Just make sure to match the correct IP rating and brightness level to the location.

Yes! The great thing about flexible strip lights is that they can be cut to size, so you can make them fit in any space without excess material. 

Most of our flexible strip lights come marked with cut points (usually every 3 or 5 LEDs) that you can follow to customise the length of your strip lights. 

Once cut, you’ll often need to reseal the end to prevent any moisture from getting in and reconnect the strip to a power source using clip-on connectors or by soldering. 

At Light Supplier, we sell strip lights with IP65+ ratings for water resistance. 

These have a silicone coating or casing that protects against dust and splashes and are designed for bathrooms and kitchens. For greater water resistance, opt for higher IP ratings. We recommend IP68+ for outdoor applications, such as gardens, for better protection against water ingress.

If you’re stuck on which voltage is right for you, then the choice comes down to how far the strip needs to run. 

For example, 12 V is best for shorter runs, up to around 5 metres, such as kitchen shelving or bedroom headboards.

If you’re looking to illuminate a hallway or add strip lights to a ceiling, 24 V will perform better, as it’s less prone to voltage drop (where the brightness fades the further the strip runs from the power source).

Yes, it’s completely safe to leave strip lights on overnight, as long as they’re installed correctly with the right driver and aren’t covered by anything flammable.

Since LED strip lights generate very little heat and draw much less power than traditional bulbs, they’re safe to run for longer. However, we always recommend turning any light sources off during the night if they’re not needed to eliminate risks and reduce energy consumption.

Yes! Many of our flexible strip lights come with a remote control and app connectivity, allowing you to adjust brightness, colour, and temperature from your phone.

No more fussing about with light switches; you can control everything from where you’re seated. Many of our strip lights come with colour-changing options, ideal for parties, children’s rooms, or for adding a little ambience around a TV setup.
