Add a splash of colour anywhere you want it with the 12V 1M IP65+ RGB 5050 LED STRIP - 30 LEDS/M (STRIP ONLY), SKU RGB301M. Call it what you like — LED strip lights, LED light strips, LED strip lighting, LED lighting strips or simply a colour-changing tape light — this one-metre section is the handy size that solves the problems longer rolls create. It's made for projects that need several short runs instead of one long one: under-cabinet lighting in a kitchen, a single shelf, a bar front, a display case, a stair nosing, or a run of cove lighting broken up by corners. It's also the perfect piece to extend a 5-metre strip that came up just a little short.

This is a 5050 SMD RGB strip with 30 LEDs per metre, running on 12V DC low voltage, which makes it safe and comfortable to handle while you work. Brightness is rated at 650 mcd red, 1000 mcd green and 400 mcd blue, so you get saturated, vivid colour mixing rather than washed-out pastels. Power draw for the 30 LEDs/m version is 7.2W per metre, with a recommended supply capacity of 9W per metre so your power source never runs at its limit. The strip carries an IP65+ splash-proof coating and comes with 3M adhesive backing on the reverse — peel, press and you're done. Each end has a male connector that can be removed to convert it into a female connector, so sections link up the way your layout demands.

Homeowners use it to bring a finished, built-in glow to kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, home theatres and basement bars. Contractors and small businesses reach for it in conference rooms, office reception areas, retail displays, restaurant counters and signage — anywhere a short, clean run of indoor LED lighting needs to look intentional. In Canadian homes where cabinet runs, staircases and finished basements are rarely one straight line, the 1-metre format lets you follow the architecture instead of fighting it. Note that this listing is the strip only, so pair it with the low-voltage power supply, RGB controller and connectors that suit your run. Ready to light up your space in every colour you can imagine? Add RGB301M to your project list.

Built for short runs and clean corners
Most colour-changing tape is sold in long reels, and that's great until your project is a series of short segments. The RGB301M is a 1-metre RGB LED strip designed exactly for that reality: cabinet sections, individual shelves, display niches, sign boxes, toe-kicks and cove details that turn corners. It's a flexible circuit board on a self-adhesive 3M backing, so it conforms to slight curves and sticks to clean, dry, smooth surfaces without brackets or clips. Because it's sold as a strip only, you keep full control over which accessories you add, and you can buy exactly the length you need instead of cutting up an expensive long roll.

Light quality and colour mixing
The light comes from 5050 SMD diodes, the format that packs red, green and blue emitters into a single chip so colours blend smoothly along the run instead of showing separate dots of colour. Rated brightness is 650 mcd for red, 1000 mcd for green and 400 mcd for blue, a balance that produces rich saturated tones as well as convincing blends when you mix channels. With 30 LEDs per metre, you get well-spaced points of light that suit accent and ambiance work — cove lighting, shelf edges, under-cabinet washes and decorative reveals — where you want colour and glow rather than task-level output. Mounting the strip inside an aluminum channel with a frosted lens is a great trick to blend the individual diodes into one continuous line of colour.

Electrical and installation notes
This strip runs on 12V DC low voltage, so it never connects directly to a wall outlet — it needs a low-voltage power supply and an RGB controller sized for your installation. Use the recommended wattage figure of 9W per metre, rather than the 7.2W per metre draw, when you calculate the capacity of your power source; that headroom keeps the supply cool and extends its service life. Add up the total metres in your run, multiply by 9W, and choose a supply with capacity to spare. Plan your controller placement and cable route before you peel the adhesive, wipe the mounting surface with alcohol so the 3M backing grabs properly, and observe polarity when you join sections. Each end of the strip has a male connector that can be removed to convert it into a female connector, which makes it easy to chain sections or mate with the connectors you already have on hand.

Applications and documentation
In a home, think under upper kitchen cabinets, above a bathroom vanity mirror, behind a headboard, under floating shelves, along a basement bar or inside a media unit — anywhere a single metre of colour transforms a flat surface. On the commercial side, the format is ideal for retail display cases, restaurant counters, reception desks, conference room coves and window signage, where several short runs beat one continuous reel. The IP65+ splash-proof coating adds peace of mind in kitchens and near sinks.
