A side-emitting LED strip light produces light in a direction that is parallel to its mounting surface, whereas regular (top-view) strip lights direct the beam perpendicular to the mounting surface. The usual design allows the light to fit into narrow spaces and provide inconspicuous lighting for architectural enhancements and decorative installations. Shining off the edge of the strip, side emission creates unique lighting applications. The thin, flexible strip can be hidden from view while providing accent, decoration, border or contour lighting for curved coves, domes, cabinetry, counters, bars, toe kicks, staircases, soffits, cornices, valences, handrails, and headers.
