A New Generation of Flexible Lighting

Lighting design today is all about creativity and customization — and Flex Custom LED Strips embody that philosophy perfectly.
They combine the brightness of modern LEDs with the adaptability of flexible silicone, allowing you to shape light freely and create unique installations both indoors and outdoors.

These strips emit bright, uniform, and continuous illumination, making them ideal for decorative, architectural, and commercial lighting projects. Whether used to outline buildings, highlight interiors, or design artistic light features, Strip LED Flex Custom adapts to every environment and design need.

1. What Makes Flex Custom LED Strips Unique

IP65 Silicone Protection

Each LED strip is protected by a flexible IP65-rated silicone tube, which shields it from dust, moisture, and weather conditions.
This durable housing ensures long-lasting performance even in outdoor environments such as building facades, bridges, or open-air venues.

The silicone tube also gives the strip a soft, refined appearance, ensuring consistent brightness and eliminating harsh lighting points. For more detail, check What Is the Best IP Rating for Outdoor Lighting?

Flexible and Bendable Design

The defining feature of Flex Custom LED strips is their exceptional flexibility.
They can follow curved surfaces, letters, or complex architectural outlines, allowing lighting designers to explore limitless shapes.

• Vertical bending (Flex 1616) creates wave or contour effects.
  
• Horizontal bending (Flex 1018) allows soft snake-like movements for smooth layouts along flat surfaces.
  

This versatility makes them a perfect choice for both creative decoration and functional architectural design.

Custom-Made for Each Project

Every Flex Custom LED strip is tailored to your exact specifications.
Our production team cuts, seals, and connects the strips according to your required length, shape, and color type.

Once ready, your LED strip arrives fully assembled and ready for installation, saving time and ensuring professional-quality results.

Customization options include:

• Voltage: DC 12V or 24V
  
• LED types: 2835, 5050, COB, WS2811, WS2812, SK6812, and more
  
• Color: Single color, RGB, RGBW, or digital pixel
  
• Color temperature: 2700K–6500K
  
• Control systems: DMX512, SPI, Artnet, DALI, RF, or WiFi
  
• Length: Up to 20m for Flex 1616 and 8m for Flex 1018
  

Perfect for Outdoor Use

Thanks to the IP65 silicone tube and sealed caps, Flex Custom LED strips are completely waterproof and UV-resistant.
The high-quality silicone does not yellow or crack over time, even under direct sunlight, ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.

These properties make them ideal for permanent outdoor installations such as:

• Building contours
  
• Landscape features
  
• Pathway or garden lighting
  
• Outdoor signage
  

2. Design Details of the Flex Custom Series

Two Distinct Profiles for Different Applications

Each profile is designed to fit a specific bending orientation and installation need.
The flexibility of the silicone body makes installation easier and reduces the need for complex aluminum channels or additional supports.

Multiple Light Options Inside the Tube

Inside the IP65 silicone sleeve, you can insert different types of LED strips depending on your desired effect:

• Single-color white light — for clean, modern architectural lines
  
• Tunable white (CCT adjustable) — to change between warm and cool tones
  
• RGB or RGBW — for rich color-changing effects
  
• Digital pixel LEDs (e.g., WS2811, WS2812) — for dynamic animations and gradient transitions
  

This modular design allows endless combinations — giving you full control over brightness, color, and movement.

Efficient Heat Dissipation

The silicone material not only protects but also acts as a heat dissipator, preventing overheating.
This means no aluminum housing is required for most applications, simplifying installation and improving flexibility.

3. Installation and Mounting Options

Installing Flex Custom LED strips is quick and convenient. You can choose from:

• Aluminum mounting profiles — for precise alignment and protection
  
• Plastic or stainless-steel brackets — ideal for curved or irregular surfaces
  
• 3M adhesive backing — for fast and clean installation
  

Each strip is factory-prepared with power and signal cables, ensuring plug-and-play operation once received.

Tips for installation:

• Always verify voltage compatibility (12V or 24V).
  
• Seal connections properly when used outdoors.
  
• Avoid twisting the strip beyond its designed bending direction.
  
• For long runs, power from both ends to maintain uniform brightness.
  

4. Advantages of Flex Custom LED Strips

Flex Custom LED Strips combine aesthetic appeal with engineering reliability.
Here are some of their main advantages:

• ✅ Fully customizable — length, color, voltage, and control type
  
• ✅ Ready to install — pre-assembled, sealed, and tested
  
• ✅ Weatherproof — IP65 protection against rain, humidity, and dust
  
• ✅ Flexible design — easily follows curves and corners
  
• ✅ Durable silicone body — UV-resistant and anti-yellowing
  
• ✅ Compatible with DMX, SPI, and Artnet systems
  
• ✅ Low maintenance and long lifespan
  

With these benefits, they’re a preferred choice for architects, lighting designers, and installers seeking creative flexibility with professional-grade reliability.
