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.
