180° LED Strips for Stretch Ceilings & Light Boxes
180° LED strips use wide-angle lenses to spread light across translucent surfaces, making them ideal for stretch ceilings, printed sky ceilings and advertising light boxes. Their broad light distribution helps create uniform backlighting with fewer visible hotspots and dark gaps when installed at suitable distances and spacing.
Hanron manufactures 180° LED strips in China, offering white, tunable white, RGB and RGBW options, with standard and S-shape PCB designs available across the range. We can customize PCB width, power, strip length and cable connections to fit your ceiling or light box and simplify installation.

Features of 180° LED Strip
Wide-Angle Backlighting
180° lenses spread light over a broad area, helping reduce hotspots and dark gaps behind stretch ceilings and light box panels. With suitable strip spacing and installation depth, they create a smooth, evenly illuminated surface.
Flexible Layouts & Cuttable Lengths
Cut the strips at the marked points to fit your ceiling or light box dimensions. Standard designs suit straight rows, while S-shape options allow sideways bending for curved layouts and irregular shapes.
Easy Installation & Connection
Adhesive backing makes positioning the strips straightforward. For faster assembly, we can supply custom lengths with pre-fitted cables and connectors to match your layout and reduce on-site cutting and soldering.

Recommended Light Box Depth & Strip Spacing
For our standard white 180° LED strip models, a light box depth of 4–6 cm with approximately 10 cm between strip rows provides a starting point for layout planning. Mount the strips in parallel rows on the backplate so their wide-angle light coverage overlaps behind the translucent panel.
The actual distance from the LED lenses to the panel depends on the light box construction. Panel material, light transmission and required brightness also affect the ideal layout. Test a sample section with your chosen panel before final installation. For stretch ceilings or other strip models, contact us for layout recommendations.
FAQS
Our standard white models list a light box depth of 4–6 cm as a reference. For stretch ceilings, check the actual distance between the LED lenses and the membrane rather than the overall ceiling cavity depth. The required distance depends on the strip model, spacing and translucent material. Test a sample section before installing the full layout.
For our standard white models, approximately 10 cm between rows is a starting point for the recommended light box configuration. This is not a universal spacing for every model or material. Test the layout at your planned installation depth, then adjust the spacing to achieve the brightness and uniformity you need.
Plan the strip spacing and distance from the illuminated surface together. If individual light sources remain visible, increasing the distance or reducing the spacing between rows may improve blending. Keep the layout consistent and check the edges, corners and areas around structural supports. Test with the actual membrane or panel, as its diffusion and light transmission affect the result.
Choose a standard strip for straight, parallel rows in rectangular ceilings and light boxes. Choose an S-shape strip when the layout requires sideways bending around curves or irregular outlines. Both types provide wide-angle backlighting; the main difference is how the PCB can follow the installation path.
Choose white for a fixed lighting tone, or tunable white to adjust between warmer and cooler white light. RGB suits decorative color-changing effects. Choose RGBW when you want color effects plus a dedicated white channel. For printed sky ceilings and advertising graphics, test your chosen light color behind the actual material to check its appearance.
Yes. Cut the strips only at the marked cutting points. The cutting interval varies by model; our standard white and white S-shape models have an 83.33 mm cutting unit. We can also supply pre-cut lengths with cables and connectors to reduce installation work.
Use parallel power feeds for groups of strips rather than connecting every row into one long run. Match the supply voltage to the strips and calculate the total load from the installed length and power per meter. For example, 20 meters of 10 W/m strip requires 200 W; a 250 W power supply provides 25% capacity above that load. Cable size, branch length and the maximum run per feed must also be checked for the selected model.
The models listed on this page are IP20 and must be protected from water and moisture. They should not be installed where rain, splashes or condensation can reach them. For an outdoor light box, the enclosure must provide suitable protection for the strips, connections and power supply. Send us the installation details so we can assess the requirements.
Yes. We can customize light color, power, PCB width, strip length, cables and connectors, and provide logo printing and branded packaging. Send us your ceiling or light box dimensions, available installation depth, membrane or panel details, preferred lighting effect and order quantity. Our engineers can help you select a model and define the customization needed.
