Ultra Flexible LED Ribbon Strip – 30mm Wide – 1m – Natural White 4000K

A clean, flat alternative to EL tape—this 30mm-wide Ultra Flexible LED Ribbon Strip delivers uniform neutral white light from 1600 COB LEDs. Cuttable every 25mm and dimmable via PWM, it’s designed for high-brightness applications where precision and flexibility matter.

There’s never an end to the cool shapes and designs that we see folks cram LEDs into. We’ve got individual LEDs, strips, rings, and even LED ‘Neon’. One shape that’s always been a challenge is emulating the flat appearance of EL tape. This Ultra Flexible LED Ribbon Strip is 30mm Wide and comes in a 1-meter-long strip of neutral white LEDs. Soldered to the flexible PCB material are 1600 micro chip-on-board (COB) LEDs, spaced on a 3x5mm grid, which is then covered by a protective diffused silicone coating.

Usage is simple: Provide 20 to 24V power to the + and – pads on the strip (we ship with some wires pre-soldered). 20V will be bright, 24V is the max voltage and is ‘hella’ bright! You can easily cut the strip into smaller chunks; each one is 25mm long. If you want to dim/brighten, use a PWM signal on a power MOSFET like our Stemma board.

As you can imagine, with hundreds of LEDs per strip, you’ll need a significant amount of power to light them up fully. Each 25mm ‘segment’ requires 24V and approximately 42mA, a full meter will need 1.7 Amps at 24V! 

Note, these are not ‘NeoPixel’ LED strips; you cannot turn on or off individual LEDs. This guide on analog RGB LED strip control will show you how it works – you’ll want a microcontroller with a PWM output, and an N-MOSFET or a ULN2803 to control the power to the entire LED element.
