REEL-TO-REEL LED FLEX TECHNOLOGY
Next-Generation Production of Flexible LED Modules
Precision, Performance & Sustainability – Made in Germany
At LUMISTRIPS, we’ve taken LED module production to the next level with Reel-to-Reel Flex (R2R) manufacturing—an advanced, continuous process that redefines how flexible LED strips are made. With fully automated lines and high-precision engineering, we ensure consistent quality, scalable efficiency, and innovative design possibilities.
This manufacturing method is ideal for producing high volumes of flexible LED modules with exacting accuracy. It minimizes material usage, reduces interconnect points, and enhances product integrity—resulting in LED strips that are more durable, uniform, and cost-efficient.
