What Is Flexible LED Extrusion?
B E N T, N O T B R O K E N
Flexible LED extrusion is a bendable channel — typically silicone or a
hybrid silicone/PVC compound — that houses an LED strip and diffuses
its light evenly along the run. Unlike rigid aluminum profiles, it curves
around corners, arcs, and irregular surfaces while still shielding the strip
from moisture, dust, and UV.
It's sold by the reel or pre-cut length, cut to size on site, and used
anywhere a clean, glare-free line of light needs to follow a shape rather
than a straight edge.
A soft silicone jacket lets the extrusion follow curves down to a few inches
in radius, while the internal channel keeps the LED strip centered and
protected.
