LED Flex and Modules

Whether you’re enhancing interiors, highlighting architectural features or creating striking visual displays, our LED flex and modules provide flexible installation options and reliable performance. Explore our collection to find LED flex light strips and modules that bring precision, creativity and efficiency to your lighting projects.

Start with the look and the setting, then match the technical spec. The main decisions are:

• Colour or white: RGB and RGBW for colour changing, tunable white to shift between warm and cool, dim-to-warm for a warm glow as it dims, or a fixed white.
• Colour temperature and CRI: the white tone and colour accuracy your application needs.
• Output and density: higher lumens per metre for brighter runs, and more LEDs per metre for a smoother, dot-free line.
• Protection: an IP rating suited to the environment, from dry indoor to wet or outdoor.
• Voltage and length.

You can filter by these using the options above. For a recommendation, contact [email protected] with your application and target output.

Penn Elcom stocks RGB, RGBW, tunable white and dim-to-warm LED tape. RGB and RGBW give full colour changing across the spectrum, tunable white adjusts between warm and cool white without changing colour, and dim-to-warm gradually shifts from warm white to a rich amber tone as it dims, mimicking a traditional incandescent or halogen lamp.

We supply white LED tape from 2200K to 6500K, spanning very warm through to cool daylight tones. Browse the range above or contact us for specific colour temperature requirements.

Penn Elcom supplies both SMD (surface-mounted device) and COB (chip-on-board) LED tape. SMD tape has individual LED chips visible along the strip and comes in a wide range of outputs and densities. COB tape produces a continuous line of light with no visible individual diodes, which suits applications where a dot-free finish is important.

Penn Elcom offers LED tape in CRI 80, CRI 90 and CRI 95+. CRI 90 and above renders colours more accurately and is recommended for exhibitions, museums, restaurants, residential and display lighting. CRI 80 is more efficient and suits offices, education and general retail, where efficacy matters for building regulations and energy targets.

High-density tape packs more LEDs per metre for a smoother, more even line of light with fewer visible hotspots. It suits diffused channels, close viewing distances and continuous runs.

Diffuse tape, often called Neon, is LED tape sealed inside a flexible diffusing silicone housing. The light is already diffused through the housing, so a channel diffuser is not needed. For higher-wattage versions an aluminium profile is still recommended for heat management, to protect the lifespan of the product. Fixing can be by adhesive backing (where available), profile or mounting clips.

As a safety note, avoid switching on any LED tape while it is still coiled on the reel. The concentrated heat can damage the LEDs and can be a fire hazard.

Penn Elcom supplies COB and SMD nano LED tape in 4mm widths, suited to narrow-channel installations such as fine joinery and shallow detailing.

Our high-output LED tape reaches up to 4,000 lm/m, bright enough for cove lighting in tall spaces and feature runs where the tape is diffused behind opal covers. Contact [email protected] with your output target and the team can recommend the right product.

Our most efficient LED tape achieves up to 167 lm/W, which helps meet building regulations and energy targets on commercial projects. The PRIMO High-Efficacy range is a good place to start. Contact [email protected] with your efficiency target for a recommendation.

Yes. We offer LED tape in IP65, IP66 and IP67 ratings. Higher IP ratings give greater protection against moisture and suit wet or outdoor environments, while lower-rated and non-rated tape is intended for dry indoor use. Not all tape is outdoor rated, so check the specific product page for the rating. You can also contact [email protected] to confirm the right rating for your application.

Most LED strips have marked cutting points along their length, typically every 50mm. Penn Elcom also supplies COB strips with a free-cutting design that can be cut at any point. Cutting outside the marked points on a standard strip will damage the circuit, so check the individual product page for cutting guidance before installation.

Reel length varies by product, with common options such as 3m, 5m and 10m. Check the individual product listing to confirm the reel length before ordering. Cut lengths may be available on request; contact [email protected].

We do not recommend joining two full reels end to end in a single continuous run. Over that length, voltage drop would leave the far end noticeably dimmer. Instead, run each reel from its own feed off the LED driver, or power a long run from both ends. Joining offcuts is fine as long as the combined length does not exceed a full reel. Contact us with your layout and our LED team can advise on feeds and driver sizing.

LED tape runs on low-voltage DC, and over a long run the voltage falls gradually along the strip, so the far end can appear dimmer than the feed. This is called voltage drop. How far you can go before it shows depends on three things: the voltage (24V tape runs roughly twice as far as 12V before drop becomes visible), the tape's power draw in watts per metre (higher-output tape drops off faster), and the length of the run. For longer installations the usual solutions are to feed power from both ends, split the run into sections each fed separately from the driver, or use a higher-voltage system. Contact [email protected] with your run length and tape type and the team can confirm the right approach.

LED strip runs on low-voltage DC, so it needs a matching LED driver rather than a direct mains connection. Match three things: the output voltage to the strip (usually 12V or 24V), the driver wattage to the total load with some headroom, and the control type if you want dimming, for example mains or phase-cut, 0-10V, 1-10V or DALI. Our LED Drivers and LED Controls cover these options. Contact [email protected] with your strip type and total length and the team can size a driver for you.

We stock solderless connectors and joiners to make installation quick and neat. New-feed connectors start a fresh powered section, corner connectors turn a run through 90 degrees without bending the strip, and PCB joiners link two lengths in line. Connectors are specific to the strip type and width, for example 8mm tunable white, 10mm dim-to-warm or 12mm RGBW, so match the connector to your strip. Soldering is also an option where a permanent joint is preferred. Contact [email protected] with your strip and layout and the team can list the connectors you need.

Yes. Penn Elcom supplies LED flex and modules as loose components for installation on site by your electrician or installer.

Yes. As well as loose components, Penn Elcom's custom LED assembly service can prepare a fully assembled, pre-wired and tested kit to your exact specification from our workshop in Hastings, UK. Contact [email protected] with your requirements.

Most LED lamps will not run on an old halogen transformer. The power requirements are different, which usually shows up as flicker or lamps that won’t light. You can try the TRHTM105 with LED lamps, or use a dedicated 12V LED transformer. Our PrevaLED Coin AC range avoids the issue entirely, connecting straight to 230-240V with no driver needed and fitting most existing MR16 luminaires, while the PrevaLED Coin DC range uses a separate driver where you need dimming or control. Both are more efficient, more reliable and longer-lasting than halogen and most retrofit LED lamps.

Yes. The Penn Elcom LED team can calculate power consumption for your installation and advise on how a control system with occupancy, PIR or daylight sensors could reduce energy use further. Contact [email protected] with your project details.
