Elation Lighting announces two new rugged outdoor-rated LED pixel tape solutions designed for color, effect and decorative touches in a variety of applications. “LED pixel tape’s flexibility as an easy-to-use, versatile and inexpensive dynamic light source make it an indispensable element in any lighting toolbox,” the announcement states.
The Pixel Tape 16IP and Pixel Tape 40IP are flexible, IP65-rated LED pixel tape featuring RGB SMD tri-color LED pixels. Designed to produce over one billion color possibilities, they spread light at a 120° viewing angle and are surface coated with an IP65-rated conformal coating for safe use in any type of weather or environmental condition while also protecting the LEDs for indoor applications.

Each is constructed using a rugged UV-protected silicone casing, offering a thin yet bright, low-profile and flexible design with a low heat output. Both the Pixel Tape 16IP and Pixel Tape 40IP use industry standard 4-pin XLR connectors for power/control input and are designed to be low-maintenance, low energy solutions to integrate into stage scenic elements, accentuate outdoor architecture or customize lighting on any event. “Easy to install and setup, they are cost effective solutions for simple color washing, effects and pixel mapping possibilities, allowing designers to put light anywhere needed,” according to the release.
Various mounting channels and diffused cover options are available for customization.
