An LED strip, tape, or ribbon light is a flexible circuit board populated by surface-mount light-emitting diodes (SMD LEDs) and other components that usually comes with an adhesive backing. Traditionally, strip lights had been used solely in accent lighting, backlighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting applications, such as cove lighting.

LED strip lights originated in the early 2000s. Since then, increased luminous efficacy and higher-power SMDs have allowed them to be used in applications such as high brightness task lighting, fluorescent and halogen lighting fixture replacements, indirect lighting applications, ultraviolet inspection during manufacturing processes, set and costume design, and growing plants.

Most of the material, component, parts and machine for LED strip light solution can be found in PCBontime, such as printed circuits board (including rigid and flexible PCBs), led diodes, resistors, SMD assembly, full set machines for LED soft light strip, ESD plastic reels, ESD bags etc.
