The LumenstarLED LS-FLO-1B-12-60-5K operates on a 12V DC low-voltage system, making it a safe and code-friendly choice for outdoor LED installations across Canada. Low-voltage LED tapes reduce electrical hazards in wet or semi-wet environments, and this strip's outdoor-rated construction ensures it holds up against rain, humidity, and seasonal temperature swings. Its compact 3528 SMD LED chip format provides a smooth, uniform light emission line without hotspots — an essential quality for professional-grade linear lighting applications.
With 60 LEDs per metre across a full 5-metre (16.4-foot) reel, this tape delivers consistent lighting density for continuous runs. The 1.5W/ft (4.8W/m) power consumption keeps operating costs low while still producing sufficient output for accent and task lighting in outdoor settings. At 5000K daylight white, the strip casts a bright, neutral tone that enhances visibility and complements modern architectural and landscape aesthetics.
A standout feature of this LED tape is its CRI 90 colour rendering index — significantly above the industry standard minimum of CRI 80. High CRI output is especially valued in retail storefronts, hospitality exteriors, and gallery or museum outdoor spaces where the accurate rendering of materials, textures, and colours is non-negotiable. The 5000K + CRI 90 combination produces light that is both crisp and faithful to the true appearance of illuminated surfaces.
The dimmable capability of this strip is a major asset for projects that require dynamic lighting control. Compatible with appropriate 12V PWM or analog dimmers, the tape can be tuned from full brightness down to a subtle glow, enabling scene-setting flexibility for restaurants, hotels, outdoor retail displays, and residential landscapes. Dimming also extends the operational lifespan of the LEDs and reduces energy consumption during off-peak hours.
Available through Lumibox.ca, this LumenstarLED outdoor 3528 LED tape is an ideal specification for lighting designers, electrical contractors, and project managers looking for a reliable, high-CRI, dimmable outdoor strip that performs in Canada's variable climate. The SKU LS-FLO-1B-12-60-5K is stocked and ready to ship, making it a practical choice for both new construction and retrofit lighting projects requiring premium outdoor linear illumination.
