Built to last, built to bendThis
LED tape light is made around an 8mm wide printed circuit board with a 3oz copper layer — the thicker copper pulls heat away from the diodes, which is exactly what keeps brightness and colour stable over long runs and through years of daily use. On top sit Epistar 2835 SMD chips, 128 pcs per meter, spaced tightly enough that inside a diffused channel you read a continuous line of light rather than a string of hot spots. The
IP66 protection code seals the strip against dust and water jets, so it handles bathrooms, kitchens, basements and utility spaces without drama, and the flexible body follows coves, curves and cabinet returns with ease.
Light quality you can actually seeColour rendering is where cheap tape gives itself away. With a
CRI 90+ rating, this strip shows skin tones, wood grain, fabrics and food the way they really are — a must in kitchens, bathroom vanities, closets, retail displays and any space where people judge colour. The
3500K output is a soft neutral white: warmer than an office, cleaner than a candle, and very forgiving in mixed-material rooms. At 130 LM/W and 9.6W/M, you get a generous, efficient wash from a 120º beam angle that fills a cove or under-cabinet space quickly.

Wiring, dimming and installationThe strip runs on
24V DC, so it needs a constant-voltage 24V driver or power supply sized to the total wattage of your run — remember the load is 9.6W/M, so add up your meters before choosing. Respect the
10m maximum length per feed; for longer installs, run separate home runs back to the supply instead of daisy-chaining, and you will avoid the voltage drop that makes the far end look dim. Cut only on the marked cut points every
62.5mm (8 LEDS), then solder or use a compatible connector. Because it is
dimmable, pair it with a 24V dimmable driver and a compatible control for scene-setting in bedrooms, dining rooms and hospitality spaces. An aluminum profile with a diffuser — a popular search on its own — protects the tape, spreads the light and gives the installation a finished, built-in look.
Applications, family and documentationThink under-cabinet task light over a kitchen counter, cove lighting around a living room ceiling, a glowing line under a floating vanity, stair and hallway guidance, backlit bar shelving, display cases in a boutique, or accent light in a clinic waiting room. The same platform is available in other colour temperatures and outputs so a whole project stays consistent:
LED strip 24V 9.6W/M IP22 2700K,
LED strip 24V 9.6W/M IP22 5000K, the lower-output
LED strip 4.8W/M 24V IP66 for subtle accents, or the colour-changing
LED strip 14.4W/M 24V RGB IP66. The full technical PDF spec sheet for this model is in the Documentation tab — download it for your submittals, your electrician or your permit file.
