Ordering Information:
Each type of QolorFLEX LED Light Strip is identified by a part number which consists of 7 sets of characters. Each character set specifies a particular attribute of the tape. Please refer to the Part Number Key to confirm you order the product needed. For a brief description of the different tape attributes, refer to the TERMINOLOGY section below.
LED SIZE Refers to the actual chip size of the LED. In general, larger the chip size, the more light output is possible. Single colour QolorFLEX LED Tape is available in 2 chips:
Multicolour QolorFLEX types (RGB, RGBA, RGBCW, RGBNW, RGBWW, RGBI) all use the 5050 chip. Our Adjustable White (WWCW) uses the 3528 chip
size.
QolorFLEX is available in both 12- and 24-Volt configurations. 24 Volt strip allows for longer continuous runs and requires half the amperage of 12 Volt strip
to operate.
LED COLOUR QolorFLEX is available in a variety of different colours and combinations of colours. Single colour white stripes are available in cool (CW), natural (NW), and warm (WW) colour temperatures.
Adjustable white (WWCW) has a combination of alternating cool and warm white chips which can be controlled to achieve a specific colour temperature according to preference. Multicolour strips consist of RGB
tricolour LEDs plus a fourth colour (amber, cool, white, natural white, warm white, indigo) LED, which enables the mixed colour output to be tuned and or balanced as needed. | QTY LED'S PER METRE This is the number of LEDs contained in a metre of tape. More LEDs produce more light output. QolorFLEX is most commonly sold in full reels which contain 5 metres (16.4ft) of product. Each end of the strip sold this way has a soldered pigtail of colour-coded ribbon cable for attaching to dimming /
power devices. For custom lengths less then 5 metres, "CTL" should be substituted when ordering, and the desired pigtail configuration discussed with our sales department as is needed. For an 18" sample
length without pigtails use "0" as the length designation. Please contact your nearest dealer to help with custom quotes. Indicates the approved use environment. IP 20 is Approved for indoor use only; IP 67 is Suitable for outdoor use. Currently, all QolorFLEX Tape is available with a white (1) background colour as a standard product. |

Light Boxes and Podium Lighting at the Democratic National Convention 2020 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin | “We chose the QolorFLEX 12v RGBCW LED Tape for the light boxes because it would work with our existing 12v custom dimmer assemblies and, more importantly, we had the confidence that it would be flicker-free and look great on camera.” - Philip Rheinheimer, Set Electrics Team Lead, PRG Scenic Technologies | |
QolorFLEX LED Tape, QolorFLEX 5x8A Dimmers, and Connect 10s at ESPN Studio Y in Bristol, CT |
the back wall, behind the performers on stage. We wanted a bright neon sign that could change colour, and be able to tour with the show. QolorFLEX NuNeon gives us what we wanted and needed – something bright, and colourful, with the flexibility and durability to last through our upcoming tour. We can have the sign stand out, or recede, based on similar or contrasting light colour of the back wall. It is super bright, and really pops when we want it to. It gives us many layers of options. - Ben Jacobson, Project Manager, Mystic Scenic Studios |

QolorFLEX 5-in-1 LED Tape at Girl Says Woman Says Man Says by Rutgers Theatre Company in New Brunswick, New Jersey | “With QolorFLEX, it was easy to get set up and create a unique environment on stage. We were able to get the subtle warms and cools we were looking for. I was very happy with the results.” - Harrison Freni, Lighting Designer, Rutgers Theater Company | |
QolorFLEX LED Tape at Pip's Island | “For this show, we needed LED tape that could react like a high end theatrical fixture, dimmers that would dim at low levels, and quality that would last. That is why we specified QolorFLEX.” - Al Crawford, Founder/CEO and Lighting Designer for Arc3design | |
QolorFLEX LED Tape and QolorFLEX 24x3A Dimmers at Evita at New York City Center in New York, NY | “We chose QolorFLEX because of its reliability, colour quality, and affordability.

QolorFLEX NuNeon, RGB and Accessories, QolorFLEX RGB LED Tape, and QolorFLEX 4x2.5A Dimmers in Freaky Friday Presented by Coolidge Middle SchoolDrama Department in Reading, Massachusetts |
With a SHoW Baby 6 wireless DMX system already in place, the creative team for Freaky Friday was looking for a way to create an urban Chicago setting using bright, colour-changing LED products that could be controlled wirelessly. With limited transition time between scenes and a cast including 55 middle schoolers and an additional 45 students working backstage, the ideal solution would not only add dimension and visual interest, but also require minimal relocation after installation, and be simple and safe to use in a high traffic area. The script called for an oversized hourglass that would be “broken” in half on stage. This presented one of the largest challenges of the show to the creative team: Designing a prop that could create a magical effect, while using two separate lighting and wireless DMX control systems. City Theatrical’s QolorFLEX NuNeon was selected as the lighting solution to outline the Chicago skyline that spanned the 40-foot-wide stage. The skyline was set in two layers, one at each wireless DMX controlled portal, to add dimension with colour-changing RGB LEDs that have the look and brightness of traditional neon, but with easier setup and wireless DMX dimming control |
