And when connected to a led power supply, the electricity is converted into light energy, and the LEDs (light emitting diodes)&nbsp;will glow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Flexible led strip lights are that printed circuit board is flexible, which gives the possibility of bending.&nbsp;The flexible led light strip is to weld the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/what-is-a-smd-led-strip-light\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/what-is-a-smd-led-strip-light\/\">SMD LED<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/what-is-cob-led-strip-light\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/what-is-cob-led-strip-light\/\">COB LED<\/a> chip on the flexible PCB, and with an adhesive tape on the backing, you can paste it anywhere.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The thickness of the flexible&nbsp;led strip is only the thickness of a coin and does not take up space. And it can be installed even in&nbsp;narrow spaces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/ultranarrow-led-strip-lights-c-1_351.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"399\" src=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2mm-flexible-led-strip-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2mm-flexible-led-strip-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2mm-flexible-led-strip-1-325x162.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/2mm-flexible-led-strip-1-768x383.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>2mm thin flexible led strip<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:25px\">What are rigid led light bars?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Different from the flexibility of the led flexible strip&nbsp;lights, the LED chips of a rigid led light strip are mounted on a hard circuit board. The rigid led bar lights cannot be bent at will, just a straight line.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The rigid&nbsp;led strip is based on the flexible&nbsp;led strip light in order to better solve the heat dissipation problem, and the SMD LED is welded on the aluminum substrate, so that the LEDs can get good heat dissipation treatment under long-term working conditions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">As a led light strip accessory, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.superlightingled.com\/blog\/ultimate-guide-on-aluminum-profile-for-led-strip-lighting\/\">LED aluminum channel<\/a> also can solve the LED heat dissipation problem.
