Labcraft launches Orizon Flex LED strip light
LED lighting expert Labcraft has launched the Orizon Flex, which it describes as a robust, R10-approved flexible strip light engineered specifically for the rigours of automotive use.
Unlike many off-the-shelf LED strips, the Orizon Flex – which was exhibited at the Road Transport Expo in June – has been purpose-designed for the automotive sector, says Labcraft, addressing common failure points of traditional lighting solutions.
It features built-in constant-current regulation, reverse polarity protection, and transient voltage suppression, which are said to ensure consistent performance across voltage ranges (12V and 24V systems), protect against electrical surges, and guarantee longevity under demanding operating conditions.
“The Orizon Flex is a game changer for commercial vehicle operators,” said technical director Jamie Petit.
“It’s incredibly versatile, ultra-reliable, and R10 approved – a standard few in the market can meet. We’ve taken every weakness of conventional flexible LED strips and solved it with automotive-grade engineering.”
The strip delivers 500 lumens per metre from 5W/m, with a cool white colour temperature of 7,000K–8,000K. The circuit layout features a full control circuit every 250mm and ensures uniform light output along the full length of the strip, says Labcraft, eliminating the dimming effect often seen in longer LED installations.
“Built for adaptability and reliability, the all-new strip features a flexible, low-profile design (13x5mm) and is easy to mount on vehicle surfaces using high-strength 3M automotive adhesive tape,” said Labcraft.
“Its highly flexible structure allows it to contour around curves or fit within narrow recesses and cabinets – such as those on fire engines or mobile workshops.
“Protected to the IP69K standard, the strip resists high-pressure jet washes, and is built to withstand harsh environments.”
Suitable for internal or external applications, the Orizon Flex is said to be ideal for a wide range of vehicle types, including trailers and refrigerated trailers, emergency vehicles, box and Luton vans, rigid trucks, and specialist utility and service vehicles.
Manufacturers can fully integrate the Orizon Flex into a Truck-Lite plug-and-play harness system, the company adds, offering a streamlined installation with auxiliary and mandatory lighting.
Jamie added: “Body builders are under increasing pressure to reduce installation time, boost reliability, and deliver high-quality conversions. Orizon Flex saves time with its adhesive backing and plug-and-play compatibility and reduces long-term maintenance through its advanced protective features.”
The product has already been adopted by leading manufacturers, says Labcraft, including specialists in refrigerated and emergency vehicles, where lighting performance and resilience are paramount, while R10.06 EMC certification means it is cleared for use on vehicles across the UK and Europe.
The company highlights its commitment to quality as reinforced by its three-year manufacturer’s warranty. All lights are designed and tested at the company’s ISO9001/14001-accredited production facility.
