LED Strip Lights

What is an LED Strip Light?

An LED strip light (also known as an LED tape light) is a flexible ribbon on which are mounted light emitting diodes (LEDs) at regular intervals. An LED strip light is embedded to a surface using either an adhesive backing or a profile. Most LED strip lights require 12V or 24V DC drivers for power. 

LED Strip Lighting Tips

• If you are using double-sided backing, make sure that the your surfaces are spotless and dry before you install the strips.
• LED strip lights should be away from direct visibility, so that the only light you see is diffuse.
• Dimmable LED strip lights are great for creating good atmosphere.
• Cut your strips only on the marked cutting lines.
• If there will be any chance of moisture, use waterproof strips.
• Use warm white strips for spaces such as living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.
• RGB LED strips can be used in gardens where they create interesting effects.
• Always make sure that your LED strip lights are installed by an experienced, qualified electrician. They require drivers and profiles, so installing them can be quite an art.
