Working in a tight space? Dealing with curved walls or an irregular layout? If you have bends to navigate or uneven surfaces to accommodate, we offer bendable, corner and mini LED profiles.

The best way to do this is to choose strip lights that have designated cutting points marked on the circuit board. Doing so will ensure that you can cut them easily without causing potential damage to the circuitry - or the lights themselves. Circuitboard Composition & Quality- For higher power LED strips, the quality and specification of the underlying circuitboard is paramount. Because high levels of electrical current must travel through each section, sufficient copper material is needed. Look for LED strips with a copper weight of at least 2 oz, and ideally 4 oz to ensure the circuitboard can handle the higher power - otherwise, you can become victim to voltage drop. Commonly, you will find that they installed an aluminium profile, doing so will hide the strip from view and also protects it from fingers, dust and moisture.Our LED Tape is available in a wide range of colours. While there is a case for arguing that certain colour work better in certain situations and for certain applications, ultimately the colour you choose will be a matter of taste. Fortunately there are plenty of options to choose from and, hopefully, something for everyone. If you are undecided on one colour you might want to try our RGB colour changing tape. These are supplied with a controller and allow you to change the colour of your tape at the touch of a button.

One of the most popular domestic environments for installing strips is in your kitchen. You can easily use 12V LED strip lights to illuminate those awkward corners of your kitchen, living and working space. You can use them anywhere you like, from shelves through under cabinet lighting to countertops and kitchen islands. With LED strip lighting, your kitchen will be more functional and sophisticated. Regardless of your imagination and lighting plan - you can find suitable LED strips to bring it to life. The LEDs themselves are super bright and punchy and once connected to the app can be set to your choice of 16 million different colours. Unlike some LED Strip lights, the Tapo light lets you display more than one colour at a time. There are a number of themes already built-in, or you can use the colour painting option to set up your own custom patterns. It even offers effects, including the ability to sync to music. For more neutral settings you can also precisely dial in the colour temperature of the white light to match it to the ambient lighting in the room. LED strip brightness is typically described in lumens per foot (or meter). A good quality LED strip should provide at least 450 lumens per foot (1500 lumens per meter), which provides approximately the same amount of light output per foot as a traditional T8 fluorescent lamp. (E.g. 4-ft T8 fluorescent = 4-ft of LED strip = 1800 lumens).There are two primary types of colored LED strip: fixed single color, and color changing. A fixed color LED strip emits just one color, and the operating principle is just like the white LED strips we discussed above. A color-changing LED strip consists of multiple color channels on a single LED strip. The most basic type will include red, green and blue channels (RGB), allowing you to dynamically mix the various color components on the fly to achieve virtually any color. Color rendering is a measure of how accurate colors appear under the light source. Under a low CRI LED strip, colors might appear distorted, washed out, or indistinguishable. High CRI LED products offer light that allows objects to appear the way they would under an ideal light source such as a halogen lamp, or natural daylight. Also look for a light source's R9 value, which provides further information about how red colors are rendered. Explore our extensive collection of strip lights specially curated to meet all your lighting needs. Whether you're looking to brighten up your home, office, commercial space, or add a touch of elegance to your outdoor areas, we have the perfect solution for you. From single-color LED strips to dynamic RGB options, you'll find a wide array of choices to suit your preferences and complement your décor. In describing the different shades and qualities of white, color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI) are two metrics that are important to keep in mind. The TP-Link Tapo Smart Lights can be scheduled and synced with other TP-Link devices and controlled via Alexa, Google Home or Apple HomeKit without the need for an additional hub.

We have seen LED Tape used for a wide range of applications. Perhaps one of most popular uses for LED Tape is as under cabinet lighting in the kitchen. Due to its design, LED Tape lends itself exceptionally well to this type of lighting. The effect, although subtle, is very effective, offering a functional working light as well as enhancing the look and feel of the kitchen. These are available in different lengths ranging from 1m to 10m, they are suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios. If your lighting plan requires a longer length, however, you can also use multiple ones to garner the effect you wish to obtain. When you’re ready to install your lights, simply peek off the cover that protects the double-sided adhesive and affix the lights. You might also want to mark this on the surface beforehand or use a spirit level to help you. The strip and plug are weather-resistant and so safe to set up outdoors, although this does mean that you’re unable to cut or extend the strip as you can with traditional LED strip lights. The Outdoor Flex Light can, however, act as a signal repeater should you want to pair it with other compatible lights.

Next, consider an LED strip light's power draw per foot. The power draw tells us the amount of power the system will consume, so this is important to determine your electricity costs and power supply requirements (see below). A good quality LED strip should be capable of providing 4 watts per foot or more (15 W/meter). There are a variety of ways to join LED strip lights, so it’s easy to find a method that’s best for you. Adding a connecting clip to the end of a strip light makes it easy to connect it to another ribbon light.
