Some projects just need a clean, continuous line of light — and that's exactly what this LED strip delivers. Known on the job site as LED strip lighting, LED light strips, LED tape or simply "strip lights", this 9.6 W/m ribbon is the flexible, cut-to-size solution for everything from under-cabinet task lighting to cove lighting, display cases, shelving, staircases and hidden ceiling coves. Model LCLS12V-48W-40K-IP66-30M comes on a generous 30 m roll, so you can light a whole kitchen, a retail counter run or several rooms from a single spool instead of piecing together short kits. It's built for both residential renovations and commercial fit-outs, and because it bends around corners and hides inside channels, it disappears into the millwork and leaves only the glow behind.

The performance is where this LED lighting strip earns its place. It draws 9.6 W per metre (±10%) and delivers 130 lumens per watt from Epistar 2835 SMD chips — 128 LEDs per metre, packed tight enough to give you a smooth, even line rather than a row of hot spots. The 4000K neutral white tone is the sweet spot for kitchens, workshops and workspaces: crisp and clean without going blue. With a CRI 90+, colours, finishes and food look the way they should, which matters when you're lighting a quartz countertop or a product display. Add a 120° beam angle, a 3 oz. PCB for solid heat management, full dimmable capability, a 50 000+ hour lifespan and UL recognition, and you have a strip that's meant to stay installed for years. Cuts are made every 62.5 mm (8 LEDs).

Use it under upper cabinets, along toe-kicks, inside closets and pantries, over bathroom mirrors, in tray ceilings, behind headboards, under bar counters, in retail shelving or display cabinets, and in offices, salons and cafés across Canada where a warm, low-profile light line beats another ceiling fixture. Pair it with an aluminum profile and diffuser for a finished, dot-free look, and choose your matching low-voltage driver for the total run length. Prefer another tone? The same family is offered in 3000K warm white and 5000K daylight, or go colour with the RGB LED strip. Roll it out and light your project the way you imagined it.

Built to run long and look seamless
This LED strip is built around Epistar 2835 SMD chips mounted at a density of 128 LEDs per metre on a flexible circuit board. That density is what separates a professional-looking installation from a cheap one: close spacing means the individual diodes blend into one continuous line, especially once you tuck the tape into an aluminum channel with a frosted lens. The PCB uses 3 oz. copper, which helps pull heat away from the diodes and keeps light output stable over long runs. The strip is flexible enough to follow a cove, a curved bulkhead or the inside edge of a display case, and it can be cut to length every 62.5 mm, at each group of 8 LEDs, so you rarely waste material.

Light quality that flatters the room
At 130 lumens per watt and 9.6 W per metre, this LED tape light gives you real working light, not just accent glow. The 4000K colour temperature reads as neutral white — bright and modern, ideal over counters, workbenches and merchandise, and an easy match with most contemporary ceiling fixtures. The CRI 90+ rating is the detail pros look for: wood grain, paint, fabrics, skin tones and food all keep their true colour instead of looking washed out. The 120° beam angle spreads light wide and close, which is exactly what you want when the strip sits only a few centimetres from the surface it's lighting. The strip is fully dimmable, so you can drop the level for evening ambiance with a compatible low-voltage dimming system.

Wiring and installation
This is a low-voltage DC strip, so it needs a driver (power supply) sized for your total load — calculate 9.6 W per metre of strip installed, then add headroom so the driver isn't running at its limit. Feed long runs from both ends or split them into separate circuits fed from a central driver to avoid voltage drop and the dimming you sometimes see at the far end of a long line. Always cut only on the marked cut points, every 62.5 mm, and use solderless connectors or soldered leads with heat shrink for clean, reliable joints. Clean and degrease the mounting surface before applying the adhesive backing; on rough wood, inside aluminum profiles or in any location with heat or vibration, mechanical clips give a much more durable hold. Mounting inside an aluminum profile for LED strip with a diffuser is strongly recommended — it hides the dots, protects the tape and gives the installation a finished, built-in look.

Applications, matching products and documentation
Think under-cabinet and over-cabinet kitchen lighting, toe-kick and island lighting, closets and pantries, bathroom mirror and vanity lighting, tray-ceiling and cove lighting in living rooms, stair nosings, garage workbenches, plus commercial work: retail shelving, display cases, reception desks, bar fronts, restaurant banquettes and office coves. Need a different tone on the same project? The family includes 3000K warm white, 4000K in IP22 and 5000K daylight, and for colour-changing accents there's the RGBW LED strip.
