Ultra-narrow 2mm,High Lumen Waterproof SMD1616 Flexible LED Strips

This ultra-narrow side-emitting SMD1616 strip is designed for compact edge-lighting details where installation width is restricted. The listed configuration combines 24V operation, CRI90 and IP65 protection with a dense side-emitting layout.

Where it fits

Typical uses include sign edges, display shelves, furniture slots and narrow architectural reveals. Side emission changes how the light reaches the surface, so evaluate distance, reflectance and diffuser geometry using a sample.

Engineering considerations

• Confirm the actual protected width and connector dimensions.
• Respect the permitted bending direction.
• Calculate load from the listed 14W/m value.
• Plan 24V feed points for the full run.
• Reseal every cut and connection to maintain protection.
• Verify 1200 lm data for the exact tested length and CCT.

IP65 protects against specified water jets but does not make the strip suitable for immersion. Review our IP-rating guide and SMD strip range.

FAQ

Can it bend sideways and vertically?

Use only the stated bending direction and radius.

Is IP65 suitable underwater?

No. Underwater use requires an appropriate IP68 system and sealed connections.
