Applications of Flex 182

Flex 182 is designed for projects where integration must be very discreet, but the light still needs to make a statement.

Its natural application is in compact linear applications: commercial furniture, display cases, display units, interior architecture, decoration, localized backlighting, and wall washers.

The key advantage lies in the ability to work with an LED strip that is only 5 mm wide and has an output of approximately 1,400 lm/m, which makes it possible to illuminate narrow spaces without sacrificing light output.

Commercial furniture

In commercial furniture, Flex 182 allows for the integration of lighting in areas where space is limited.

It can be used for:

Shelving
Display Cases
Product Lines
Exhibitors
Backlit furniture
Premium Furniture
Commercial Displays
Custom Modules

Its slim design allows for a more discreet installation inside the cabinet, reducing the visible size of the lighting system.

This is especially useful when the lighting needs to highlight the product without interfering with the furniture’s design.

Display Cases and Display Stands

Flex 182 is suitable for display cases and showcases where products need to be illuminated with a compact light strip.

It can be used for:

Cosmetics
Perfume
Fashion
Jewelry
Accessories
Materials
Premium product
Small-format pieces

Its CRI of >95% helps improve the perception of color, finishes, and details of the displayed product.

Interior Design

In interior design, Flex 182 allows you to create light lines in narrow architectural details.

Typical applications:

Linear slots
Compact Foseados
Light Tours
Wall Details
Roof Integration
Volume Marking
Decorative lines
Narrow profiles

Its slim profile allows it to be used in areas where a larger LED solution would have too great an impact on the design.

Integrated Decor

Flex 182 is also suitable for decorative applications where light is an integral part of the space’s design.

It can be used for:

Headboards
Baseboards
Hotel Furniture
Decorative panels
Indoor Shelving
Wooden details
Light Trails
Custom-made parts

In these types of applications, the strip’s flexibility allows it to adapt to curves, corners, and custom solutions.

Linear backlighting

Flex 182 can be used for localized or linear backlighting, especially when installation space is limited.

It is suitable for:

Backlit profiles
Furniture Details
Text or linear elements
Decorative pieces
Hidden Lines
Indoor areas with limited space
Solutions with Flex Cover

It is not a substitute for surface solutions such as Luxpanel™ when the goal is to achieve a large-format, uniform light plane. Its most appropriate applications are in light lines, narrow details, and spot backlighting.

Indoor wall-mounted bathtubs

Flex 182 can also be used as an interior wall shower.

Its 120° beam angle allows light to be projected onto vertical surfaces, especially in installations where a continuous, compact line is desired.

It can be used for:

Decorative walls
Goodwill
Transit Areas
Architectural Elements
Textured interior surfaces
Tall Furniture
Interior Decor

For this application, it is important to correctly determine the distance from the surface, the mounting profile, and the continuity of the installation.

Recommended Main App

The most strategic application for showcasing Flex 182 is high-performance commercial furniture, because it combines its three main advantages:

Reduced width
It allows it to be integrated into furniture, display cases and exhibits.

High light output
It provides a real presence in a very fine line.

CRI >, 95%
improves the visual perception of the displayed product.

Integration with Flex Cover

Flex 182 can be installed with Flex Cover, which enhances the final finish and protects the LED strip.

This system is useful when the project requires:

A cleaner finish
Protection for the LED strip
Integration in furniture
Professional Linear Assembly
Using the Protective Cover and Lid
Neat connection using Easyconnector

The datasheet states that the strip must be positioned centrally and flat on the profile, avoiding installations that are tilted or poorly supported.
