The LumenstarLED 3528 LED tape light is built around the proven 3528 SMD LED chip, a format renowned for its slim profile and consistent light output. Running on 12V DC, the strip integrates seamlessly with standard low-voltage drivers and dimmers, making system design straightforward for both electricians and DIY installers. Its 9.6W per metre (3W per foot) power consumption strikes the ideal balance between brightness and energy efficiency across the full 25-metre (82-foot) continuous roll.
With 120 LEDs per metre, this tape light achieves a notably smooth, dot-free light output — a critical advantage for visible applications such as cove lighting, backlit millwork, display case illumination, and staircase accent lighting. The high-density LED placement eliminates hotspots and ensures uniform coverage from one end of the run to the other, even when the strip is viewed at close range.
A CRI of 90 places this strip light firmly in the high-colour-rendering category, meaning the warm 3000K glow will make skin tones, food, fabrics, and merchandise look their natural best. This level of colour fidelity is essential in retail, restaurant, and hospitality settings where visual presentation directly impacts customer experience and purchasing decisions.
The dimmable functionality is fully compatible with 12V PWM dimmers, allowing smooth, flicker-free dimming from full brightness down to low ambient levels. This flexibility makes the LS-FLI-1D-12-120-3K an excellent choice for layered lighting designs where mood and task lighting must coexist within the same zone or room.
UL approval confirms that this LumenstarLED product has been independently tested and certified to meet North American electrical safety requirements. For Canadian contractors, designers, and project managers, UL listing is often a mandatory specification — and with this tape light, that box is checked without compromise. From hospitality renovations to custom residential builds, this strip delivers consistent performance you can specify with confidence.
