Product Features
NEW Mega flux infrared LED strip for the surveillance and multitouch markets. Make larger multitouch screens than ever before possible with economical LED strips! Sample kits of all our LED strips are available.• 1,752 mW of flux per meter of LED strips.
• Tight spectral power distribution, centered on 850 nm (see independent test results.)
• Only 10 mm wide, so it fits in 3/8" shower door track and is easy to use to edge-light either 3/8 or 1/2 inch acrylic.
• Energy-efficient—only 16 watts per meter consumed.
• Excellent selection of compatible drivers and connectors is available.
• Dimmable, using our wide selection of pulse and voltage varying dimmers, some of which can be operated from a traditional wall mounted dimmer.
• Cuttable on 50 mm (2 inch) increments.
• Easy to install—non-waterproof version has high-adhesion stickyback. Just peel off the wax paper and stick it to any clean, dry substrate.
• 50,000 hour lifetime.
• Moisture resistant.
• RoHS (Reduction of Hazardous Substances) rated.
• Sold 3 ways:
- By the 5 m (16.4 foot) reel
- By the foot (12 inches = 305mm)
- As a 12 inch (30 cm) sample kit with connector and adapter
• Bonus for ordering complete reels (instead of the cut ribbon) is that a complete monochrome reel ships with an end similar to our Male Mini Power Supply Plug, suitable for connecting to our 100 watt adapter and Female Mini Power Supply Plug that we ship with our 150 watt power supply.
• Cut LED strip lighting is not returnable.

NOTE: InfraRed light is not visible. It is for special purposes only.
Product Applications
If you are making a multitouch screen, please refer to our Multitouch Screen IR LED Buying Guide. Additional pictures, related products, such as IR cameras, and expert commentary are available at Peau Productions.Infrared (IR) radiation is electromagnetic radiation whose wavelength is longer than that of visible light, but shorter than that of terahertz radiation and microwaves. The name means "below red" (from the Latin infra, "below"), red being the color of visible light with the longest wavelength. Infrared radiation has wavelengths between about 750 nm and 1 mm, spanning three orders of magnitude.
Infrared imaging is used extensively for both military and civilian purposes. Military applications include target acquisition, surveillance, night vision, homing and tracking. Non-military uses include thermal efficiency analysis, remote temperature sensing, short-ranged wireless communication, spectroscopy, and weather forecasting. At the atomic level, infrared energy elicits vibrational modes in a molecule through a change in the dipole moment, making it a useful frequency range for study of these energy states. Infrared spectroscopy examines absorption and transmission of photons in the infrared energy range, based on their frequency and intensity.
For an example of an ingenious use of IR LED strip lighting, please see the short videos explaining how to make a multitouch display created by the TouchFactors Lab: Using Infrared LED Ribbons for Multi-Touch and Creating Multi-Touch Display with IR LED Ribbons.
Some people are also using our waterproof IR ribbon for exterior lighting for security purposes. The IR light is visible on most cameras and will light up intruders without their knowledge.
The most common error people make is forgetting to order a power supply and connectors. The Buying Guide contains a chart to help you select a driver large enough for your installation.
