What this accessory actually doesA high-voltage
LED strip lighting system has three basic parts: the strip itself, the end caps and connectors, and the power feed. This
120V power cord is the power feed. It connects at one end of a cut length of
12W/m COB LED strip and terminates in a plug for a standard 120V receptacle, so the finished run becomes a plug-in light instead of a hardwired installation. At 1.5 m, the lead gives you enough slack to reach behind a cabinet, along a toe-kick or down the back of a shelf unit to an outlet, without leaving metres of cord coiled up where it can be seen.

Why 120V strip is easier to installLine-voltage
COB LED strip changes the job site math. With a low-voltage system you have to size a driver to the total wattage, find a place to conceal it, and watch for voltage drop and colour shift at the far end of a long run. With a 120V strip and this cord, the strip runs directly on building power and the feed is a plug. That means fewer components in the ceiling or cabinet, fewer failure points, and a much faster install for contractors who are billing by the hour. It also makes the system friendly for homeowners who want to unplug a display or move a workbench light later on.
Installation tipsPlan your run first: measure the length of
LED strip lights you need, confirm where the nearest receptacle sits, and put the cut end that receives the cord on the side closest to that outlet. Cut only on the marked cut points of the strip, keep the connection clean and dry, seal the opposite end with the proper end cap, and support the strip in an aluminum channel or against a clean, dry surface for a straight, professional line of light. Always respect local electrical code and the Canadian Electrical Code for receptacle placement, and have any permanent or concealed wiring done by a licensed electrician. Never stretch or pinch the cord around a sharp cabinet edge — leave a gentle service loop instead.
