Quick Answer
The 6×12mm Side-View Neon Flex is a compact custom strip solution designed for applications requiring an 8mm PCB width and side-facing illumination. While the standard version uses single-color 120 LEDs/m, this custom configuration was built with RGB LEDs for full-color control. With 12W/m, DC24V operation, a 4-pin JST connector, and 5m per roll, it delivers even side lighting suitable for signage, architectural accents, and creative installations.
Introduction: A Custom RGB Request
When Drew came to us with a request for a 6×12 side-view neon flex, the standard offering was a single-color strip at 120 LEDs/m.
But Drew needed RGB — full-color control, not just a fixed white or single color.
This meant adapting the standard configuration to accommodate RGB LEDs while keeping the compact 6×12mm profile and side-view illumination. The result is a custom strip that delivers the flexibility of RGB in a slim, side-facing neon format.

Key Features
1. 6×12mm Compact Profile – Slim, Side-Facing Light
The 6×12mm neon profile is designed for installations where space is limited and light needs to be directed sideways. The side-view configuration makes it ideal for:
Edge-lit signage and channel letters
Architectural accents and cove lighting
Tight installations where top-view won't fit

2. 120 SMD2835 RGB LEDs – High-Density, Full-Color Output
With 120 LEDs per meter, the strip delivers:
High brightness and even illumination
Full RGB color mixing for dynamic effects
Smooth color transitions and gradients
Customization Note: The standard version of this neon flex uses single-color LEDs at 120 LEDs/m. This custom build was configured with RGB LEDs to meet Drew's requirement for full-color control.
3. 8mm PCB Width – Compact and Compatible
The 8mm PCB width allows the strip to fit inside the 6×12mm neon profile while maintaining a slim overall footprint. This makes it suitable for applications where standard 10mm or 12mm strips are too wide.
4. DC24V, 12W/m – Efficient, Stable Power
Operating at DC24V with 12W/m power consumption offers:
Reduced voltage drop over longer runs
Consistent brightness across the 5m roll
Compatibility with standard 24V power supplies
5. 4-Pin JST M/F Connector – Easy Connection
The 4-pin JST male/female connector allows:
Simple daisy-chaining between rolls
Quick connection and disconnection
Reliable signal and power transmission
6. 5m per Roll – Ready for Installation
Each roll contains 5 meters of neon flex, providing ample coverage for most installations. The strip features cutting marks, allowing precise length adjustment.
7. 2 Clips per Meter – Secure Mounting
Each meter comes with 2 mounting clips, ensuring the neon flex stays securely in place along its run.
