Single color LED strip lights produce optical radiation that appears to have only one color (in comparison to polychromatic). Flexible LED strip lights built with LEDs of a monochromatic color such as red, green, blue, cyan, royal blue, deep red, red-orange or amber allow lighting designers and DIY hobbyists to implement inspiring designs that are dramatic expressions of color and creativity. Single color LED strip lights push the boundaries of lighting performance and the spectrum of applications. These flexible, ultra-thin linear lights accommodate a variety of accent and decorative lighting applications which include architectural decorative lighting, Christmas and holiday lighting, atmosphere lighting, back lighting, cove lighting, vehicle and boat accentuation, stage lighting, signage lighting, etc.
