The LumenstarLED 3528 LED tape light uses the compact and proven 3528 SMD chip format, well regarded for its consistent colour output and long operational lifespan. The red colour channel is produced directly by the LED chip, ensuring a true, saturated red tone without the colour shift or fading associated with colour-filtered white strips. At 60 LEDs per metre, light distribution is smooth and even, eliminating hotspots across the full 5-metre reel.
Operating at 12V DC makes this tape light safe and easy to integrate into a wide range of systems. The low 1.5W per foot (4.8W/m) power draw means an entire 5M reel consumes approximately 24 watts — a highly efficient footprint for continuous decorative or accent lighting applications. Compatibility with standard 12V PWM dimmers gives installers and end users precise control over brightness levels from 0 to 100%.
The dimmable red LED strip is suited for a broad spectrum of applications: entertainment spaces, hospitality environments, retail merchandising displays, photography backdrops, gaming setups, and custom automotive interior lighting. The flexible PCB design allows the strip to conform to curved surfaces, corners, and custom profiles, expanding creative and architectural possibilities significantly.
UL approval is a critical differentiator for professional and commercial projects across Canada and the United States. It confirms that the product has been independently tested and meets established electrical safety standards, reducing liability for contractors and providing peace of mind for end clients. The LumenstarLED LS-FLI-1B-12-60-R is stocked and distributed in Canada through Lumibox, ensuring local availability and reliable lead times for your projects.
For best results, pair this tape light with a quality 12V DC LED power supply rated at a minimum of 30W for the full 5M reel, and use a compatible PWM dimmer to unlock the full range of intensity control. The adhesive backing on the flexible PCB bonds to clean, smooth surfaces — aluminium LED channels are recommended to improve heat dissipation and extend the lifespan of the strip in continuous-use installations.
