The Koshi Electronics Zig Zag S-Type Pixel LED Strip is a flexible SK6812 addressable strip arranged in an S-type (zig-zag) layout, so it bends and curves smoothly around surfaces a normal straight strip can't follow. Each LED is individually controllable, making it ideal for curved architectural details, furniture edging and creative custom installations. Available in 5V and 12V.
Key Features
- Flexible S-type design: bends and curves smoothly for shapes a straight strip cannot follow.
- SK6812 addressable LEDs: individual RGB control of every pixel.
- 5V or 12V options: choose the voltage that matches your controller and setup.
- Custom animation support: program any effect with a compatible controller.
- Smooth bending radius: curves gently without damaging the LEDs (avoid sharp bends).

- Set your IC type to SK6812 and load your animation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bend this strip sharply?
No — bend it smoothly with a large radius. Sharp bends can damage the internal traces.
What's the difference between S-type and Z-type?
S-type zig-zags so it can flex into curves; Z-type runs straight. This is the flexible S-type.
Can I use it outdoors?
The standard version is not waterproof. Ask us about an IP65 option for outdoor use.
What happens if I use the wrong voltage?
The LEDs can be damaged instantly. Always order and connect the correct voltage (5V or 12V) for your controller and supply.
How do I secure it to a curved surface?
Use the adhesive backing or mechanical clips. Plan the bend path first, then fix it gently along the curve.
