HAVIFLEX Flexible LED Strip 15mm x 15mm - IP67 / 20 Metre Roll

HAVIFLEX Flexible LED Strip 15mm x 15mm - IP67 / 20 Metre Roll

Flexible neon is LED strip built inside a solid silicone body. Where a bare strip shows a row of separate points, the silicone diffuses them into one continuous line - the look that gives it its name, without gas, glass or the fragility that came with it.

It bends along its length, which is what makes it useful for curves, coves, signage and edges that a rigid channel cannot follow. It is also far more robust than a bare strip: the silicone is the diffuser and the protection at once.

Output and colour

This strip draws 14.4W per metre, producing 600lm per metre.

⚠ Both figures are per metre, not per reel. A long run multiplies them, and that is the number that decides the driver.

It is a 4000K product - one fixed colour temperature.

This is a neutral white - the middle ground, and the safest choice when a space has to do several jobs. It keeps whites looking white without the coldness of a daylight source, which is why it suits kitchens, bathrooms and workspaces that also have to feel liveable.

It is also the easiest colour temperature to mix with existing lighting, because it sits between the warm lamps in most living spaces and the cooler light of task fittings.

Colour rendering is >80 CRI, which describes how faithfully colours appear under the light. It matters most where the lighting falls on food, skin, timber or fabric.

The beam spread is 120°.

Where it can be installed

At IP67 this is rated for wet or exposed positions - outdoors, in bathrooms, or anywhere it will be splashed or rained on.

The rating protects the strip itself. The cut ends and the joints are the vulnerable part of any run, so they have to be sealed properly if the protection is to mean anything in practice.

Powering it

This strip runs at 24V DC, so it needs an LED driver between it and the mains. It cannot be connected to mains directly.

Size the driver from the run, not the reel: multiply the wattage per metre by the metres you are actually installing, then choose a driver comfortably above that total. A supply working at its limit runs hot, and heat shortens both the driver and the strip.

⚠ The driver's output voltage has to match the strip. Connecting 24V strip to the wrong supply either leaves it dark or destroys it, and that is not a warranty claim.

Cutting and installing it

Strip is cut to length at the marked cutting points only. Cutting between them severs the circuit and kills everything past the cut, so plan the run to the nearest marked point rather than to the exact millimetre.

Neon bends in one plane only - along its face, not edgewise. Forcing it the other way damages the circuit inside the silicone, and the damage is not visible from outside until the section fails.

Test the run before committing it. Adhesive backing does not survive being lifted and re-laid well, and a fault found after the diffuser and end caps are on means taking the whole run apart.
