Built for a clean, continuous line of lightThis
LED tape is built on a
12mm wide printed circuit board with
3oz. copper, a heavier copper weight that helps pull heat away from the diodes and keeps colour stable over long runs. The LED density of
196 LEDs per metre (59s/ft) is what gives the strip its smooth, dotless appearance when it's mounted in an aluminum channel with a diffuser. The strip can be cut every
71.4mm along the marked cut lines, so you can follow the exact length of a cabinet, a cove or a stair nosing without wasting material.
Light quality and the dim to warm effectStandard LED strips hold one colour temperature no matter how low you dim them. This one doesn't: its
dim to warm span runs from
4000K at full output down to
2400K at the bottom of the dimming curve, recreating the familiar amber shift of incandescent lamps. The
CRI 80+ rendering keeps woods, fabrics, food and skin looking true, and the
120º beam angle spreads light evenly across the surface above or beside the strip. Output sits between
1530lm and 1620lm, enough for real task lighting under cabinets, not just decorative accent.

Wiring, dimming and installationPower the strip with a
24V DC constant voltage driver sized for your total load — remember the strip draws
17W/M, so a longer run needs a bigger driver, and each individual run should not exceed the
10m maximum length to avoid voltage drop at the far end. For longer installations, feed several runs from the supply side rather than daisy-chaining past 10m. The
dim to warm effect is driven by the dimming signal, so pair it with a compatible control:
DMX PWM,
RF PWM,
0-10V or an
MLV incandescent dimmer. Solder or use connectors only at the marked cut points, clean the mounting surface before applying the tape, and mount inside an aluminum extrusion whenever possible for better heat dissipation and a finished look.
Where it works, and what pairs with itThink kitchen under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting, cove ceilings in a living room, floating vanity lighting, bar and restaurant millwork, hotel corridors, retail display shelving, home theatre steps and reception desks. Because the rating is
IP22, this reel stays in dry interior locations; for a covered patio, a bathroom cove or a damp area, choose a waterproof version of the same family such as the
LED strip 4.8W/m 24V 24W 30K IP66 or the
LED strip 19.2W/m 24V 96W 30K IP66. For tunable white or colour-changing scenes, the
LED strip 20W/m 24V 100W IP22 CCT and the
LED strip 14.4W/m 24V 72W RGB IP22 run on the same 24V platform. The full technical PDF for this model is available in the Documentation tab for your submittals and electrical plans.
