Soft, continuous light exactly where you want it — that's what a good LED strip gives you, and this 9.6W/M tape is the one contractors keep coming back to. Whether you call them LED strip lights, LED light strips, LED tape, ribbon lighting or simply strip lights, this flexible roll slips into places a regular fixture never could: under kitchen cabinets, inside a cove or bulkhead, along a staircase, behind a floating shelf, under a bar counter, in a display case or above a bathroom vanity. It's a low-voltage strip made for clean, glare-free indoor LED lighting in both homes and businesses, and it cuts to length so your run finishes exactly where the millwork does.

The engine behind it is an Epistar 2835 SMD chip layout with 128 LEDs per meter, drawing 9.6W/M ±10% and delivering 130 LM/W — plenty of punch for task lighting without a bulky fixture. The CRI 90+ rating is the detail you'll actually see: wood grain, quartz countertops, paint colours and skin tones all read true, which is why high-CRI tape is worth it over bargain strips. A 120º beam angle spreads the light evenly instead of dotting the surface, and the tape is fully dimmable so you can dial a cove from bright task level down to a warm evening glow. Other real specs: PCB width 8 mm, 3 oz. copper PCB, cut size 62.5 mm (8 LEDs), max run 10 m, IP22 protection, UL listed, and a lifespan of 50 000+ hours.

This is the SKU LCLS12V-48W-40K-IP22, the 4000K neutral-white version — the crisp, modern tone Canadian homeowners ask for in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages and basements, and the one small businesses pick for retail shelving, reception desks, salons and office millwork. With IP22 protection it's made for dry and protected indoor locations; for outdoor soffits, decks or anywhere splashing is a concern, step up to the waterproof LED strip 9.6W/M IP66 4000K 30 m. Want a warmer or cooler look? Compare the 3000K version or the 5000K version. Roll it out, cut it to size, and light your project properly.

Built to last, built to look good
This LED tape light is built on a flexible circuit board with a 3 oz. copper PCB, which is heavier than what you find on entry-level strips. More copper means better heat dissipation along the run, and heat is the number one enemy of LED lifespan and colour stability. The board measures only 8 mm wide, so it tucks into slim aluminum channels, tight cabinet valances and shallow coves without showing. The Epistar 2835 SMD chips are mounted at 128 pieces per meter — a dense layout that blends the individual points of light into a smooth line rather than a row of hot spots, especially behind a frosted diffuser.

Light quality you can actually see
At CRI 90+, this strip renders colour far more faithfully than standard tape. In a kitchen, that means your backsplash tile and countertop look like they did in the showroom; in retail, merchandise keeps its true colour under the shelf light. The 4000K neutral white of this model is the sweet spot between cozy and clinical — clean and awake, ideal for work surfaces and modern interiors. Efficiency lands at 130 LM/W for 9.6W/M ±10%, and the 120º lighting angle washes surfaces evenly instead of striping them.

Wiring, dimming and installation
This is a low-voltage LED strip, so it needs a compatible DC driver/power supply sized for the total wattage of your run — add up the meters, multiply by 9.6W/M, and leave yourself headroom. Respect the 10 m maximum run per feed: longer runs should be fed from both ends or split into separate circuits to avoid voltage drop and a dimmer end of the line. Cut only on the marked points every 62.5 mm (8 LEDs), then solder or use a compatible connector. The strip is dimmable through a compatible low-voltage dimming system, which is what makes it so useful in cove lighting and under-cabinet layers you want to soften at night. With IP22 protection, install it in dry, protected indoor locations; for damp or exposed areas, choose an IP66 version instead. Mounting inside an aluminum profile with a diffuser — a very common request from installers searching for a "profilé aluminium pour LED strip" — protects the tape, spreads the light and gives a finished, built-in look.

Where it works and what's available
Typical projects: under-cabinet and under-counter kitchen lighting, ceiling coves in living rooms and hotel corridors, staircase and hallway accents, closet and pantry lighting, bathroom mirror surrounds, toe-kick lighting, retail shelving, display cases, bars and restaurant millwork, reception desks and office feature walls. The same platform is offered in other colour temperatures if your project calls for a different mood — the 3000K warm white and 5000K cool white — in a waterproof IP66 30 m roll at 4000K, and in colour-changing versions such as the RGB strip 14.4W/M for accent and entertainment areas.
