Side-Emitting LED Strip Lights

Choosing the Right Side-Emitting LED Strip Light

Unlike traditional LED strip lights that emit light upward, side-emitting LED strips project light horizontally from the edge of the strip. This unique design makes them the ideal solution for applications where installation space is limited or where light needs to be directed toward the edge of a surface rather than away from it.

Choose the Right Lighting Solution

Side-emitting LED strips are commonly used for edge-lighting acrylic panels, illuminating glass shelves, highlighting stair handrails, outlining curved architectural features, creating indirect accent lighting, and adding illumination where a standard LED strip cannot be positioned effectively. They're an excellent choice whenever the direction of the light is just as important as the light itself.

Installation Considerations

Because side-emitting LED strips project light horizontally, careful placement is important to achieve the desired lighting effect. They're often installed within aluminum channels, routed grooves, or custom profiles that position the light exactly where it's needed while protecting the strip and creating a clean, professional appearance.
