LED strips are flexible circuit boards with surface-mount LEDs, originally used for accent and decorative lighting, but now serve various applications including task lighting and UV inspection. They come in different types with varying specifications such as input power and color capability. Innovations like flashing and bi-color LEDs have expanded their functionality, allowing for attention-seeking indicators and versatile color combinations.

An LED strip, tape, or ribbon light is a flexible circuit board populated by surface-mount light-emitting diodes (SMD

LEDs) and other components that usually comes with an adhesive backing. Traditionally, strip lights had been used
solely in accent lighting, backlighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting applications, such as cove lighting.

LED strip lights originated in the early 2000s. Since then, increased luminous efficacy and higher-power SMDs
have allowed them to be used in applications such as high brightness task lighting, fluorescent and halogen lighting
fixture replacements, indirect lighting applications, ultraviolet inspection during manufacturing processes, set and
costume design, and growing plants.

There are many types of LED Strips each with different codenames and LED types. Each one can vary in input
power, led spacing, color capability and more.

Flashing

Flashing LEDs are used as attention seeking indicators without requiring external electronics. Flashing LEDs
resemble standard LEDs but they contain an integrated voltage regulator and a multivibrator circuit that causes the
LED to flash with a typical period of one second. In diffused lens LEDs, this circuit is visible as a small black dot.
Most flashing LEDs emit light of one color, but more sophisticated devices can flash between multiple colors and
even fade through a color sequence using RGB color mixing. Flashing SMD LEDs in the 0805 and other size
formats have been available since early 2019.

Flickering

Simple electronic circuits integrated into the LED package have been around since at least 2011 which produce a
random LED intensity pattern reminiscent of a flickering candle.[59] Reverse engineering in 2024 has suggested
that some flickering LEDs with automatic sleep and wake modes might be using an integrated 8-bit microcontroller
for such functionally.[60]

Bi-color

Bi-color LEDs contain two different LED emitters in one case. There are two types of these. One type consists of
two dies connected to the same two leads antiparallel to each other. Current flow in one direction emits one color,
and current in the opposite direction emits the other color. The other type consists of two dies with separate leads
for both dies and another lead for common anode or cathode so that they can be controlled independently. The
most common bi-color combination is red/traditional green. Others include amber/traditional green, red/pure green,
red/blue, and blue/pure green.

RGB tri-color

Tri-color LEDs contain three different LED emitters in one case. Each emitter is connected to a separate lead so
