LED strip lights have developed a reputation for providing an excellent standard of energy-efficiency, and they’re incredibly cost-effective with a 50,000 hour life-span that’s simply impossible to beat.

But these features, whilst undoubtedly important, will be paled in comparison when you see the unparalleled range of aesthetic qualities with which they’re endowed.

Simply Stunning!

The huge variety of LED strip lights itself is impressive enough, starting with the Single Colour strips, available in 12V and 24V options and in wattages ranging from 4.8W right up to 14.4W, there’ll be a type that’s perfectly suited to the light intensity you require and the number of lengths you need to run.

One of the simplest yet most versatile options, the single colour strip is to be had in a choice of blue, green, red and pink, as well as warm (3000K), daylight (4000K) and cool white (6000K) colour temperatures, enabling you to bathe in a wash of LED light and also to enhance your area’s ambience, whether it be indoors or out.

The single colour strip is offered in the entire gamut of ingress protection ratings, allowing you to install it wherever you please.

In locations requiring no waterproof coating, such as the bedroom, the IP20 rating will be fine, but if you have a swimming pool or a fish tank to illuminate there’s an IP68 Nano level that you can be submerged indefinitely to a depth of 1.5 metres, so imagine how amazing that will look!

Interchangeable colour temperatures are the hallmark of the dual colour LED strip light, so it’ll be the first choice for multi-purpose environments like kitchen-diners in which you might want the cool white temperature to augment the feeling of cleanliness and sterility while you’re cooking.

Then when you’re serving food or relaxing after your meal in your living area, you can simply switch to warm white with its mellow quality, thanks to the dedicated Dual Colour Touch Controller.

Achieving a myriad of changing colours is what RGB LED strips are all about. The red, green and blue can be commanded to merge, creating 16 dazzling colours using an RGB LED Controller. Like the single colour variety, RGB tape is available in 12V and 24V options, and will also be suitable for use in any environment you choose.

RGBW LED strips incorporate 30 RGB and 30 White Light Emitting Diodes enabling a mix of varying degrees of red, green and blue with white, to produce a huge number of extra pastel colours, or simply illuminate the white LEDs for general-purpose lighting.

The RGBW Remote not only controls the colours, it also offers up to 6 preset modes including speed and light intensity.

For truly breathtaking lighting effects, it just has to be RGB LED Pixel Tape.

Whether you decide on LED pixel tape for an indoor or outdoor installation, you can be sure that, once your neighbours have witnessed the incredible spectrum of colours and 133 spectacular lighting effects, the entire neighbourhood will be visible from a long way off!

Pixel tape requires the 16-Key Remote to control its vast number of different lighting effects, and all at just the touch of a button!

Stunningly Simple!

For convenience and ease of installation, strip light kits are without parallel. Available in lengths from 1-metre to 5-metres, they all have an appropriately-powered Plug-and-Play Adaptor.

Should your space be smaller or you require varying short lengths of tape, you’ll be able to customise them by cutting at designated intervals.

It’s a simple procedure, easily achieved with just a pair of scissors, but if you don’t feel like tackling it yourself remember that we are the only UK lighting company to offer its customers a free, bespoke cutting service, so why not take advantage of our expertise?

With no tricky soldering required, you’ll simply peel back the tape’s protective layer and insert the end into a compatible connector. There’s a wide range to choose from and with them you’ll be able to adjoin up to 3 lengths of LED tape.

You’ll definitely want to maximise the 120° beam angle of all your LED strip lights and to do this, you’ll need to invest in an Aluminium LED profile. There are a huge number to choose from and they’re compatible with both 3528 and 5050 tape sizes.

Whilst you can affix your strip light using the 3M adhesive backing tape, profiles secure them permanently, giving your installation a quality look.

They’ll also safeguard the LEDs’ incredible 50,000 hour life-span, ensuring your home, garden or commercial premises are perfectly illuminated for many years to come.

When you’re at the stage of fine-tuning your LED strip light installation, using the huge variety of end caps and other superb accessories, you know that you’ll soon be able to sit back and admire the dazzling lighting display you deserve!
