Quick Answer
This Waterproof SOB (Side-of-Board) LED Strip Kit combines an 8mm ultra-narrow LED strip with a waterproof construction, available in either low-voltage (DC24V) or high-voltage driver-free (AC220V) configurations. The kit is designed as a complete solution for edge-lit applications where standard LED strips cannot fit — including cabinet edges, narrow channels, signage, and architectural accents. Each kit includes the SOB strip, waterproof connectors, and specification support for power supply matching.
What Makes This Kit a Complete Solution?
Most edge-lit LED strip projects require sourcing the strip, waterproofing, connectors, and power supply separately. This kit packages the essential components into a single, project-ready solution:
Component | What It Includes |
|---|---|
SOB LED Strip | 8mm ultra-narrow side-emitting strip |
Voltage Option | DC24V (low voltage) or AC220V (driver-free) |
Waterproof Protection | Proprietary SOB waterproof process |
Connectors | High-voltage quick connector (AC version) |
IP Rating Options | IP65, IP67, IP68 available |
Color Temperature | 3000K, 4000K, or 6500K |
Specification Support | Power supply and controller matching |
Custom lengths, IP ratings, and color temperatures are available upon request.
Two Kit Configurations
Feature | Low-Voltage Version | High-Voltage Version |
|---|---|---|
Voltage | DC24V | AC220V (mains) |
Driver Required | Yes (external) | No — driver-free |
PCB Width | 8mm | 8mm |
LED Type | 2835 | 2835 |
LED Density | 240 LEDs/m | 240 LEDs/m |
Power | 8W/m | — |
Luminous Flux | 460–540 lm/m | — |
Luminous Efficacy | 58–68 lm/W | — |
CRI | ≥70 / ≥80 | — |
Color Temperature | 3000K / 4000K / 6500K | 3000K / 4000K / 6500K |
Max Load Length | Per driver capacity | 50 meters |
Waterproof | IP-rated (customizable) | IP-rated |
Key advantage of the high-voltage version: No external driver required. Connect directly to AC mains power — simpler installation, lower system cost, and longer runs up to 50 meters.
Key Features
1. Ultra-Narrow 8mm Width – Fits Tight Spaces
The 8mm PCB width allows installation in places where standard LED strips cannot fit:
Thin cabinet edges
Narrow channels
Slim architectural accents
Signage and channel letters
2. Waterproof Protection – Indoor & Outdoor Use
Both versions feature a proprietary waterproof SOB process, protecting the LEDs and circuitry from moisture, dust, and splashing.
Suitable for:
Outdoor signage
Bathroom and kitchen lighting
Covered patio installations
Damp industrial environments
3. High-Voltage Option – Driver-Free Operation
The AC220V version eliminates the need for an external power supply:
Benefit | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
Simpler installation | Fewer components to mount and wire |
Lower system cost | No driver purchase required |
Longer runs | Supports up to 50 meters in a single run |
4. Multiple Color Temperature Options
Color Temperature | Appearance |
|---|---|
3000K | Warm white — cozy, inviting |
4000K | Neutral white — clean, natural |
6500K | Cool white — bright, energetic |
CRI options of ≥70 or ≥80 ensure good color rendering for most applications.
5. SOB vs Traditional SMD
Aspect | Traditional SMD | SOB (Side-of-Board) |
|---|---|---|
LED mounting | Top of PCB | Side edge of PCB |
PCB width | 10mm or wider | As narrow as 8mm |
Light direction | Upward | Sideways / edge-emitting |
Best for | General illumination | Edge-lit, narrow-profile applications |
For designers working with limited space or requiring edge-emitting light, SOB offers a distinct advantage.
Applications
Application | Recommended Version |
|---|---|
Cabinet and under-shelf lighting | DC24V (safe, low voltage) |
Signage and channel letters | Both versions (narrow 8mm width) |
Outdoor building outlines | AC220V (long runs, simpler wiring) |
Bathroom vanity lighting | DC24V (safer in wet areas) |
Retail display cases | Both versions (uniform side-emission) |
Cove and accent lighting | DC24V (dimmable options available) |
Summary
Advantage | Benefit |
|---|---|
Complete kit | SOB strip, connectors, and specification support |
Ultra-narrow 8mm width | Fits where standard strips cannot |
Waterproof protection | Suitable for damp and outdoor environments |
Two voltage options | DC24V (low voltage) or AC220V (driver-free) |
Driver-free AC version | No external power supply needed |
Up to 50m run (AC) | Long runs without voltage drop |
Multiple CCT options | 3000K / 4000K / 6500K |
Customizable IP ratings | IP65 / IP67 / IP68 available |
