Built for clean, continuous lines of lightThis
LED tape light uses
Epistar 2835 SMD diodes packed at
128 pcs per meter, a density that smooths out the individual dots and gives you a near-solid line of light when the strip sits in a channel with a diffuser. The flexible circuit board measures
8 mm wide and is built on a
3 oz. copper PCB — more copper means better heat transfer, and better heat management is what keeps an LED strip bright over the long haul. Cut marks are placed every
62.5 mm (8 LEDs), so you can trim a run to fit a cabinet, a stair nosing or a shelf without wasting material.
Light quality you can actually seeColour rendering is where cheap tape falls apart. With
CRI 90+, this strip renders wood, paint, fabric, food and skin tones accurately — a real asset over a kitchen counter, in a bathroom vanity, in a jewellery case or above a bar. Output is rated at
130 LM/W for a draw of only
9.6W/M (±10%), and the
120º lighting angle throws a wide, even wash instead of a narrow stripe. The
3000K warm white of this SKU is the classic residential tone: inviting in living rooms, bedrooms, cove ceilings and hospitality spaces, and flattering on warm woods and brass.

Installation and electrical notesThe strip runs on low-voltage
DC power, so it needs a driver/power supply sized for the total load: multiply
9.6W by your total length in meters and leave yourself headroom. It is
dimmable, which lets you pair it with a compatible low-voltage dimming system for mood control in bedrooms, dining rooms and lounges. Respect the cut marks, solder or use a quality connector at each junction, and feed longer installations from both ends or in parallel branches to avoid voltage drop and a visible fade at the far end. Mounting the tape in an
aluminum profile is strongly recommended: it acts as a heat sink, protects the strip and, with a frosted lens, hides the diodes for a professional finish.
Applications, related products and documentationTypical projects: under-cabinet kitchen lighting, cove and tray ceilings, stair and hallway accents, closets and pantries, home theatre risers, reception desks, retail shelving, restaurant bars and office niches. If your project needs a different white, the same 9.6W/M platform is offered as the
LED strip 9.6W/M 3000K, the
LED strip 9.6W/M 4000K and the
LED strip 9.6W/M 5000K; for colour-changing effects, look at the
LED strip 12V 19.2W/M RGBW. The full
