When it comes to illuminating lightboxes with precision and consistency, selecting the right LED light bars is essential. Our range of LED edge lighting, including models HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, HL-OEL006, HL-OEL012-IP20, and HL-OEL024-IP20, offers a variety of options tailored to different lightbox heights and requirements.
Understanding Optics and Compatibility
The HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, and HL-OEL006 LED light bars have been specifically designed for use in lightboxes with a height of up to 2.5 metres and a depth of between 8 cm to 30 cm. Additionally, we have received feedback that these models can work well in lightboxes up to 3 metres in height, although achieving optimal results may require precise alignment and installation experience. These models are very powerful, providing high-intensity illumination for larger installations.
It is important to note that the HL-OEL012-IP20 and HL-OEL024-IP20 models belong to a different series and are not designed to be used alongside the HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, or HL-OEL006. The HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, and HL-OEL006 are not cuttable, whereas the HL-OEL012-IP20 and HL-OEL024-IP20 are cuttable at 8 cm intervals (per 2 LEDs), making them ideal for more precise and adaptable installations.
Flexible Options for Lower Lightboxes
For lightboxes with a height of up to 1 metre and a depth of up to 12 cm, we recommend using our HL-OEL012-IP20 and HL-OEL024-IP20 models. For more details on compatibility and installation guidelines, you can download the product PDF from the 'Attachments' tab, which includes specific charts outlining height and depth recommendations. These LED light bars are highly flexible, offering the added benefit of being cuttable at 8 cm intervals (per 2 LEDs). This feature makes them ideal for smaller applications where precise lengths are required for a perfect fit. With this versatility, you can create a custom fit for your lightbox, enhancing the visual effect while avoiding unnecessary trimming or modifications. While these models are not as powerful as the HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, and HL-OEL006, they still provide excellent illumination and are particularly well-suited for low-profile lightboxes with a depth of up to 12 cm.
Perfect for Stretch Fabric Lightboxes
Our entire range of LED light bars, including HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, HL-OEL006, HL-OEL012-IP20, and HL-OEL024-IP20, is also highly suitable for use in stretch fabric lightboxes. Stretch fabric lightboxes are popular for creating vibrant, seamless displays, and our LED modules provide the consistent and bright illumination required to make these displays truly stand out. Whether you need powerful lighting for larger stretch fabric lightboxes or flexible options for low-profile applications, our models can meet your needs effectively.
Installation and Accessories
For optimal performance and safety, it is essential to follow the specifications regarding how many LED bars can be installed in series. The limits for cascade connections (maximum number in series) can be found in the product description or datasheet, which are available for download in the 'Attachments' tab on each product page. To assist with installations, we offer a range of accessories available in the 'Related Products' section, including barrel connectors and end-of-line power cables. For longer series connections, we recommend using two end-of-line power cables—one at the beginning and one at the end—both connected in parallel to the same non-dimmable 24V LED driver. Additionally, ensure the selected LED driver wattage is approximately 20% higher than the total power consumption of the LED bars.
For those looking to mix and match different models, the HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, and the updated HL-OEL006 are fully compatible when installed together. This compatibility is particularly valuable for larger lightboxes that require multiple LED bars for even illumination. Barrel connectors are available for easy joining of these units, which can be found in the 'Related Products' section of each product page.
Technical Specifications and Support
All of our LED edge lighting products are engineered to provide the best possible illumination for your projects. Whether you're installing a small display or a large, eye-catching lightbox, it's important to understand the specific requirements of each model. We recommend consulting our downloadable datasheets, which are accessible via the 'Attachments' tab on each product page, to obtain comprehensive technical information. These guides include important data such as maximum height recommendations, power requirements, and installation details.
Conclusion
Whether you are designing a new lightbox or updating an existing one, our range of LED light bars provides the flexibility, consistency, and quality you need. For installations up to 2.5 metres and with a depth between 8 cm and 30 cm, HL-OEL003, HL-OEL005, and HL-OEL006 provide optimal results, with new batches ensuring full compatibility. For smaller lightboxes with a depth of up to 12 cm and a height of up to 1 metre, the cuttable options HL-OEL012-IP20 and HL-OEL024-IP20 provide precision and flexibility.
Our LED light bars are also ideal for stretch fabric lightboxes, offering bright, uniform illumination that enhances the quality of fabric displays. To make sure you secure your LED light bars, consider placing a pre-order. It is the best way to guarantee availability and plan ahead for your projects without the worry of stock shortages.

Pre-Order to Secure Your Supply
Our LED light bars are in high demand, and we are constantly replenishing our stock to meet customer requirements. To ensure that you receive the exact product you need, we offer a convenient pre-order system. By placing a pre-order, you can reserve stock from our incoming shipments. This guarantees that once our next batch arrives, your order will be fulfilled promptly without the risk of items selling out. For businesses planning large installations or those with specific project timelines, pre-ordering is a reliable way to secure the components needed.
You can also view live stock availability on our website. If pre-ordering is not displayed, it means the product is currently in stock, and the available quantity will be shown. This live count is synced with all our sales channels, ensuring you can trust the accuracy of the stock information displayed.
If, for example, there are 20 units in stock and you order 50, the remaining 30 units will automatically be placed on back order. We will ship the existing stock immediately, and the remainder will be fulfilled from the next incoming batch. Typically, new stock arrives approximately every 45 days, though it can sometimes be sooner as incoming shipments often contain stock that has not yet been fully reserved. However, please be aware that many items are pre-ordered before they even arrive, so securing your order in advance is highly recommended.Combining Different LED Models
