LED pixel tape’s flexibility as an easy-to-use, versatile and inexpensive dynamic light source make it an indispensable element in any lighting toolbox. Elation is pleased to offer two new rugged outdoor-rated LED pixel tape solutions useful for color, effect and decorative touches in a variety of applications.

The Pixel Tape 16IP™ and Pixel Tape 40IP™ are flexible, IP65-rated LED pixel tape featuring RGB SMD tri-color LED pixels. Capable of producing over 1 billion color possibilities, they spread light at a 120° viewing angle and are surface coated with an IP65-rated conformal coating for safe use in any type of weather or environmental condition while also protecting the LEDs for indoor applications.

Each is constructed using a rugged UV-protected silicone casing, offering a thin yet robust, low-profile and flexible design with a bright yet low heat output. Both the Pixel Tape 16IP and Pixel Tape 40IP use industry standard 4-pin XLR connectors for power/control input and are ideal low-maintenance, low energy solutions to integrate into stage scenic elements, accentuate outdoor architecture or customize lighting on any event. Easy to install and setup, they are cost effective solutions for simple color washing, effects and pixel mapping possibilities, allowing designers to put light anywhere needed.

Various mounting channels and diffused cover options are available to customize to any setting.

Pixel Tape 16IP: The Pixel Tape 16IP features the same pixel spacing as Elation’s successful Pixel Bar series. It comes in a 2.7-meter long (8.9 ft) by 14.5mm wide (0.57”) LED pixel tape with 170 RGB SMD tri-color LED pixels spaced on 16mm (0.62”) centers. The tape can be cut and extended every 25mm (0.98”). The Pixel Tape 16IP emits 455 lumens of light with a low max power consumption of 35W and is ETL approved.

Pixel Tape 40IP: The Pixel Tape 40IP is a 6.8-meter long (22.3 ft) by 14.5mm wide (0.57”) LED pixel tape featuring 170 RGB SMD tri-color LED pixels spaced on 40mm (1.57”) centers. The tape can be cut and extended every 62mm (2.44”). The Pixel Tape 40IP emits 475 lumens of light with a low max power consumption of 35W and is ETL approved.

The Pixel Tape 16IP and Pixel Tape 40IP use a total of 510 DMX channels per spool. They can be powered and controlled using Elation’s new Pixel Driver 170, Pixel Driver 1000IP or Pixel Driver 4000 V2 control drivers.
