12mm IP20 LED Flexible Wall Washer

Product Description:

What is Flexible wall washer lights？

Flexible wall washer lights are linear LED wall washer lights made of flexible, bendable substrates. They can produce a "wall-washing" light effect similar to traditional linear wall washer lights, but the light body itself can be freely bent or conform to curved surfaces. They are mainly used for architectural outlines and decorative lighting, and are very suitable for curved building facades, irregular decorative shapes, and other scenarios.

What is an IP20 flexible wall washer light?

IP20 stands for Ingress Protection. The first number "2" indicates protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm in diameter, and the second number "0" indicates minimal protection against water. In other words, an IP20 flexible wall washer light is a non-waterproof, flexible (bendable) wall washer strip primarily used indoors. It is typically packaged as a strip or flexible light bar to evenly illuminate walls or building surfaces, creating a "wall washing" effect.

The manufacturing of IP20 flexible wall washer lights typically involves the following eight steps: 1) Engineers determine the bending radius, optical opening (side-emitting/surface-emitting), beam angle, and other structural designs based on the application scenario (indoor environment, shopping mall light strip trough). → 2) Select LEDs (high-power 3030/3535/2835, etc.), design luminous efficiency, color temperature, color rendering index (CRI), design secondary optical lenses/silicone diffusers, control beam angle, and other LED optical designs. → 3) Constant voltage drive (12V/24V), DMX/SPI control (RGB/RGBW dynamic effects), FPC wiring, copper wire thickness and heat dissipation capacity, power, and other circuit designs. → 4.) Prepare raw materials such as FPC or aluminum-based PCB (for LEDs), LED chips, resistors, capacitors, ICs (for RGB/DMX), flexible silicone housings, and wires, including waterproof connectors (IP65). → 5.) Automated SMT: Apply solder paste to the PCB, mount LEDs, ICs, resistors, and capacitors, reflow soldering, inspect solder joints, and perform LED lighting tests. → 6.) Connect the mounted PCB/FPC wires. → 7.) Aging tests: including ● Electrical tests: voltage, current, power, power factor, electromagnetic interference tests ● Optical tests: luminous flux, luminous efficiency (lm/W), color temperature drift, brightness uniformity ● Aging tests: continuous illumination for 8-24 hours, 60℃ high temperature test, -20℃ low temperature test ● Waterproof tests: IP65 immersion test, IP67 immersion test (according to product requirements), aging tests → 8.) Packaging and transportation.

How to Choose LED Flexible Wall Washer Lights:

1. Optical and Visual Parameters

1.1) Beam Angle: Determines the angle at which the light spreads. A large beam angle (e.g., 45° or higher) is suitable for brightening low walls at close range; a small beam angle (e.g., 15°-30°) is suitable for long-distance projection, resulting in more concentrated light. Choose the appropriate beam angle based on wall height, installation distance, and wall width to avoid uneven light spots or insufficient brightness.

1.2) Color Temperature and Color: Choose according to the desired atmosphere. 2700K-3000K warm light is cozy, 4000K-5000K neutral light is refreshing, and 6000K and above cool light has a strong modern feel. For dynamic effects, choose a model that supports RGB or RGBW full-color changes. Interior furnishings and residential spaces may prefer warm white; commercial and building exteriors may prefer neutral/cool white or be customized according to design requirements.

1.3) Color Rendering Index (Ra/CRI): CRI ≥ 90 ensures natural and realistic colors on walls and decorations. The colors of the building facade are more realistic.

1.4) Brightness: Brightness determines how far the wall can be illuminated and whether the effect is uniform. For small spaces and decorative wall washing (corridors, background walls, shop interiors, etc.): low-power/medium-power lights can be selected; for large-area wall washing such as building facades, large walls, and exterior walls, it is recommended to choose higher-power/high-lumen output models. At the same time, pay attention to the quality and efficiency of the light source (LED chip). Do not buy low-quality, low-brightness lights just to save money, otherwise the effect will be poor and the lifespan short.

2. Electrical and Protection Parameters

2.1) Protection Rating (IP): IP20 for indoor use，Outdoor use is a basic requirement. IP65 is water-resistant and suitable for most outdoor scenarios; if the environment is more humid (such as near pools, buried underground), IP67/IP68 rating should be selected. The lamp structure (sealing, material, corrosion resistance, dustproof) and thermal management (good heat dissipation) are also important to ensure stable operation over a long period.

2.2) Operating Voltage: Commonly DC24V low voltage, which has high safety, strong anti-interference ability, and supports longer wiring distances.                                                                    2.3) Control Method: Lighting Control and Functions (e.g., whether RGB/RGBW/variable color/DMX control is required)

If it's just monochrome wall washer or basic lighting, monochrome white/warm light is sufficient; if dynamic colors, atmosphere changes, night scene effects, or architectural facade light shows are required, it's recommended to choose an RGB/RGBW/version supporting intelligent or DMX control. Also consider power supply, power supply method (DC/AC), voltage compatibility (commonly 24VDC), wiring and connection design to ensure safe and reliable installation.

3. Physical and Process Parameters

3.1) Bending Radius and Cutting: Confirm the product's minimum bending radius (e.g., 25cm) and whether it supports

3.2) Cutting at any position to see if it's easy to cut, connect, or install—some come with aluminum profile mounting kits/adjustable brackets/adhesive backing/modular splicing functions for convenient construction and maintenance.

3.3) Heat Dissipation Design: Crucial for lamp life. Prioritize products with aluminum alloy housings and reasonable heat dissipation structures.

3.4) Lens Material: Optical-grade PMMA lenses are preferred, offering high light transmittance and resistance to UV aging.

3.5) Flexibility/Bendability and Installation Adaptability: Since a "flexible wall washer light" is chosen, ensure the light strip itself is flexible enough to fit irregular shapes such as curved surfaces, arcs, columns, and wavy walls in your project.

4. Identify Key Requirements Based on the Installation Environment:

4.1) Curved Architectural Walls/Irregular Structures: Focus on bending performance and cutting flexibility to ensure a seamless fit. Low power (e.g., 10-20W/meter) is sufficient for close-range wall washer needs.

4.2) Garden Landscapes/Art Sculptures: Due to the complex environment, high protection rating (IP68) and robustness are crucial. Color temperature matching with plants and landscaping should also be considered.

4.3) Bridge Outlines/Large Curved Surfaces: High brightness and long-distance projection are required; choose a model with higher power (e.g., 30W/meter or higher) and a matching beam angle. Meanwhile, the modular installation design greatly simplifies high-altitude installation and maintenance.

4.4) Indoor Creative Lighting: Requirements for protection levels can be relaxed, with greater emphasis on aesthetics, adjustable light color, and ease of control (such as integration with smart home systems).
