LED STRIP FOR SMALL CHANNEL LETTERS

摘要

A light emitting diode, LED, strip (301) for the illumination of channel signs is provided. The LED strip comprises a flexible circuit board, a plurality of LEDs mounted on the circuit board, and an electrical connector for connecting the LED strip to a power supply. The LED strip is at least in part encapsulated by a flexible resin such that the LED strip is foldable. The LED strip according to the present invention is advantageous in that its length can be adjusted by folding instead of cutting, thereby retaining the waterproof encapsulation of the LED strip. Further, a method for mounting a flexible LED strip (301) in a channel sign is provided. The method comprises the steps of attaching at least one clip (302) to an interior surface (303) of the channel sign, folding back an end (304) of the LED strip, and fixating the LED strip including the folded end using the clip. The method according to the present invention is advantageous in that it provides an easier and more reliable mounting of a LED strip as compared to standard prior art techniques.
