Pixel-Free LED™
Zero Hotspots.
Zero Compromises.

Standard LED strip lights show their pixels. You can see every individual LED — a dotted, uneven appearance that needs diffuser channels, setback distance, or covers to look finished. Pixel-Free LED™ eliminates that problem at the source. The diffusion is engineered into the silicone profile itself. It looks like neon. It installs like strip light. No extra hardware.

Why LED Strip Lights Usually Disappoint.

Standard LED strip is cheap and bright. The problem is how it looks. The closer you get — or the closer your viewer gets — the more you see a row of dots rather than a clean line of light. Pixel-Free LED™ fixes this by building diffusion directly into the profile so the output is a smooth, even line regardless of viewing distance.

Five Profiles. One Technology. Every Installation Scenario.

Each Pixel-Free LED™ profile is engineered for a specific installation method and light direction. The profile you choose determines how it mounts, how it bends, and where the light goes — not whether it looks good. They all look good.

Forward-Facing · Signage
Trim
Horizontal bend · 3mm / 4mm / 6mm / 12mm widths

Where the 360° tube bends up and down (like a roller coaster), Trim bends left and right — like a snake. This makes it the correct profile for any application where you need to shine light forward and route the strip around horizontal curves: sign faces, window displays, store fixtures, and perimeter lighting where you're looking at the lit face of the strip rather than its side. Available in four widths to match the scale of the application — 3mm for fine detail work, 12mm for high-output wide-format installs. Each width has a corresponding Trim Mounting Channel for clean snap-in installation on straight runs.

Sign faces Window displays Store fixtures Faux neon Curved installs
Press-Fit · Flush Mount
Base Trim
Winged flanged profile · No extra trim required

Base Trim is Trim with wings. The flanged profile press-fits into a routed channel and sits flush with — or barely proud of — the surrounding surface. No additional trim strip, no visible mounting hardware, no extra finishing work. The wings create a mechanical lock that holds the strip in place even overhead. Route the channel directly into your surface, press the Base Trim in, and the installation is done. The smooth silicone casing is soft to the touch and gives a premium finished appearance right out of the box. Used for residential millwork, commercial architectural lighting, stair risers, and any flush-mounted linear accent.

Millwork Stair risers Routed channels Flush mount Commercial accents
Ultra-Hidden · COB
On-Board / COB
4mm wide · 1.6mm tall · Disappears completely

On-Board is the answer when you want light but genuinely cannot see where it's coming from. At 4mm wide and 1.6mm tall, it tucks into spaces no other strip light reaches — under cabinet lips, inside stair nosings, along railing bases, behind trim details. COB (chip-on-board) construction packs the LEDs so tightly together that there's no visible pixel separation even without a diffusing extrusion. High CRI (over 90), peel-and-stick install, and available in multiple white color temperatures. The Ultra-Thin version goes even further — 4mm wide, 1.6mm tall — essentially invisible when off.

Where it gets used: Under-cabinet lighting where a larger strip would be visible from seated height. Stair riser lighting where the strip runs in a recess flush with the step. Railing bases where the channel is only a few mm deep. Cabinetry interior accent lighting. Any application where the design goal is "you see the light, not the source."
Under-cabinet Stair risers Cabinetry Railing bases Hidden accents
Commercial · Long Runs
Commercial Strip
Up to 15m continuous · Single driver · No mid-run injection

Standard LED strip lights require power injection every 5m on long runs — a mid-run connection point that adds installation complexity, creates a potential failure point, and often shows up as a brightness seam visible in the finished installation. Pixel-Free LED™ Commercial Strip is engineered for continuous runs up to 15m from a single driver. No mid-run injection. No brightness seams. One driver, one connection, one consistent line of light the full length. Designed specifically for architectural perimeter lighting, retail store perimeters, hospitality bar tops, and commercial spaces where long runs of consistent output are the requirement — not the exception.

A Pixel-Free LED™ Answer for Every Market.

The same technology — different profile, different spec, same output quality. No visible pixels regardless of where it's installed or who's looking at it.

Signage & Retail
Sign channel letters, window displays, POP fixtures, and shelf edge lighting where the strip is visible and needs to look like a clean line — not a row of dots. Trim profile is the correct choice for forward-facing applications.
Trim · Auralux · 360° Flexible
Architectural & Commercial
Hotel lobby coves, restaurant perimeters, office accent lighting, and commercial millwork where runs exceed 5m and consistency matters as much as brightness. Commercial Strip and Base Trim for flush architectural installs.
Commercial Strip · Base Trim · 360° Stiff
Stage & Entertainment
Set lighting, prop borders, stage edge delineation, and entertainment installs where color control matters. RGB and pixel-controlled 360° versions integrate with DMX for scene programming without the fragility or cost of actual neon.
360° RGB · Pixel-Controlled 360°
Residential
Under-cabinet kitchen lighting, stair risers, cabinetry interior lighting, and cove accents where the strip needs to disappear. On-Board/COB for hidden accents. 360° Flexible for visible feature lighting like kitchen island pendants or bathroom mirrors.
