What Are LED Strip Lights
An LED strip light, also known as LED tape, is a versatile lighting solution that consists of a flexible circuit board populated with Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). It is designed to provide illumination and decorative lighting in a wide range of applications.
The LED strip lights are usually available in rolls or reels, and they feature a self-adhesive backing that allows them to be easily installed and mounted on various surfaces. The flexibility of the circuit board enables it to be bent, curved, or cut at specific intervals, allowing for customization to different spaces and shapes. They come in different brightness levels, shades of white, and colors.
LED strip lights are commonly used in residential, commercial, and architectural settings. They can be employed to enhance the aesthetics of spaces, highlight specific features or objects, provide functional lighting, and create dynamic lighting effects.
LED Strip Light Features
Cut to Length
You can cut the strip every few inches, allowing you to freely design your project without worrying about space requirements.
Flexible
LED strip lights are flexible and can be bent vertically up to 90 degrees. This allows you to add light to places previously thought impossible.
Color Options
LED strip lights can be manufactured in a wide range of single colors, including white, red, green, blue. They also come in dynamic modes such as color-changing, tunable white, dim-to-warm, and more.
Low Profile
With a thickness of 1/16’’ (2mm), LED strips can be installed in many tight spaces and can easily be hidden from view.
Peel and Stick
The back of the strip is fitted with a strong 3M Brand adhesive tape, allowing you to peel and stick lights to many different surfaces.
Fully Dimmable
Our LEDs are dimmable and compatible with most home automation, DMX systems, hardwired and remote dimming systems. You have complete control over your LEDs.
Added Protection
Additional environmental protection can be added to make the strips IP65 rated (Dust/water resistant or dust/waterproof).
Customizable
We are able to customize specialty strips for your project to include custom colors, lengths, CRI, width, voltage, brightness, and more. Contact us!
