Side Lighting LED Tape Light, 4.8W or 14.4W per Metre, 60 or 120 LEDs per Metre, 8mm Wide, 5m Reel

Overview
This specialist LED tape is designed with SMD3014 chips mounted vertically, directing the light to the side rather than forward. Supplied on 5m reels with tails at both ends, it is ideal for edge lighting acrylic panels, signage, or slim profiles where a side-throw of light is required.

Design and Features
Available in two densities, both built on an 8mm wide flexible PCB with adhesive backing for easy installation. The unique side-emitting construction enables uniform lighting along edges, making it ideal for creative architectural and joinery details.

• Low density: 60 LEDs per metre, 4.8W per metre, 450 lumens per metre, efficiency 93 lm/W, cut every 100mm (6 LEDs).

• High density: 120 LEDs per metre, 14.4W per metre, 1152 lumens per metre, cut every 50mm (6 LEDs).

Both versions achieve 90 CRI for accurate colour rendering.

Colour Temperatures

• Low density: 3000K Warm White or 4000K Cool White

• High density: 3000K Warm White

Usage
Designed for specialist edge-lighting applications such as illuminating acrylic panels, signage, diffused plastics, and slim aluminium profiles. The side-facing LEDs make this tape particularly effective in creating uniform edge glow effects rather than direct illumination.

Dimming?
We have paired these LED lights with switched LED drivers and with a remote control and receiver for dimming. If you prefer to operate the lights using a standard wall dimmer, you can find a suitable driver here.
