Built to run long and stay coolThe performance of an LED tape comes down to what's printed on the circuit board, and this one doesn't cut corners. The
10mm PCB carries a
3oz. copper thickness, which helps pull heat away from the diodes and keeps light output stable over long runs.
128 LEDs per meter of
Epistar 2835 SMD chips sit close enough together to read as a continuous line rather than a string of hot spots, especially behind a diffuser. The strip can be cut every
62.5mm (8 LEDS) at the marked points, so you can tailor each run to a cabinet, a stair or a cove without wasting material, and it supports a
max length of 10m per run.
Light quality you can seeAt
3500K, this strip lands in that easy middle ground — warmer than an office white, cleaner than a candle-like glow — which is why designers reach for it in kitchens, bathrooms and retail spaces where white cabinetry and warm wood have to live side by side. The
CRI 90+ rating means colours are rendered faithfully: makeup looks right at the mirror, merchandise looks right on the shelf, food looks right on the counter. With
120 LM/W of efficiency at
19.2W/M and a
120º beam angle, the light washes wide and smooth across a surface instead of firing in a narrow stripe.

Wiring, dimming and installationThis tape runs on
24V DC, which means it needs a compatible low-voltage driver or power supply sized for the total wattage of your run — count
19.2W per meter plus headroom, and remember the 10m maximum per run before feeding a new line from the supply. It is
dimmable, so pairing it with a compatible low-voltage dimming system gives you full control from task-bright to a soft evening level. Clean the mounting surface before sticking the strip down, and for the best look and the best heat dissipation, install it in an aluminum extrusion with a frosted lens — the diffuser erases the dots and the channel acts as a heat sink. The
IP66 sealing protects against dust and water jets, so this version is the one to choose for bathrooms, kitchens near the sink, laundry areas and covered exterior soffits.
Where it fits, and what to compareContractors use this
high-output LED strip for cove lighting in living rooms and basements, under-cabinet task light in kitchens, backlit bathroom mirrors, closet shelving, display cases, restaurant bars and shop millwork. If you want the same 19.2W/M punch in a warmer tone, look at the
LED strip 19.2W/M 24V 96W 30K IP66; for a lower-output, more discreet accent line in the same 24V system, the
LED strip 9.6W/M 24V 48W 30K IP66 and the
LED strip 4.8W/M 24V 24W 30K IP66 are sealed the same way. Prefer a cooler or warmer white at this output? The indoor
LED strip 24V 19.2W/M IP22 (40K) is the same platform in 4000K. The full
technical spec sheet for this model is available in the Documentation tab — worth downloading before you size your driver.
