Built to disappear into the millworkThis
LED tape light is built on an 8 mm wide printed circuit board with 3 oz. copper, a detail that matters more than most people realize: heavier copper pulls heat away from the diodes, which helps the strip hold its output over long installations. The flexible format lets it follow curves, coves and inside corners that a rigid fixture simply cannot, and it tucks into a channel or a reveal so all anyone sees is the light. With 64 LEDs per meter, the points of light sit close enough together to read as a continuous band once you add a diffuser, which is exactly what you want above a cabinet or under a handrail.
Light quality you can trustEpistar 3528 SMD chips deliver 130 LM/W at only 4.8W/M (±10%), so you get a generous line of light for very little draw — a fraction of what halogen rope lighting used to cost you in energy. The
CRI 90+ rating is the real star here: at 90 and above, colours stay honest, which is why designers specify this grade of
LED strip lighting for closets, vanities, retail displays and anywhere clients judge a colour. The 4000K neutral white is the go-to for kitchens, workshops, garages and commercial spaces that want clarity without feeling cold, and the 120º lighting angle spreads the beam evenly across a backsplash or shelf face instead of scalloping it.

Wiring and installationBecause it runs on
24V DC, this strip needs a low-voltage driver sized to the total wattage of your run — count your meters, multiply by 4.8 W and leave yourself headroom. Respect the 10 m maximum run per feed; longer walls are handled by running two circuits back to the source rather than daisy-chaining past the limit. Cut only on the marked cut lines every 125 mm (8 LED) so each segment keeps its full circuit, and plan your solder joints or connectors before you commit to adhesive. The strip is
dimmable, so pair it with a compatible low-voltage dimming system when you want scene control in a bedroom, dining room or boardroom. An aluminum extrusion with a frosted lens is always a smart addition — it protects the tape, blends the dots and acts as a heat sink.
Where it earns its keep, and what goes with itThink under-cabinet task light in a Québec kitchen renovation, cove lighting in a finished basement, toe-kick accents in a vanity, shelf lighting in a boutique, menu boards in a café, or linear accents in a dental or physio clinic. When a job calls for more punch or a different mood, stay in the same 24V family: the
LED strip 9.6W/M 24V 48W 30K IP66, the
LED strip 19.2W/M 24V 96W 30K IP66, the colour-changing
LED strip 14.4W/M 24V 72W RGB IP66, or the tunable
LED strip 20W/M 24V 100W IP22 CCT. The full technical PDF spec sheet is in the Documentation tab — download it before you order your driver and channel.
