LED Tape UK

For the sheer volume of choices available, their absolute simplicity, amazing flexibility and energy-efficiency, there really are no better lighting products than LED strip lights!

Not only that, they’ll enable you to achieve some incredible and stunning lighting effects that, previously, you could only ever dream of.

So Many Options

To be had in a dizzying array of different varieties, you’ll be able to choose from a massive range and find the type that’s perfect to suit your particular lighting requirements.

  • Single colour – This comes in a choice of two voltages so, depending upon the length you wish to run, you’ll opt for either the 12V or 24V variety.  Available in red, green, blue, pink and also warm (3000K), cool (6000K) and daylight (4000K) white colour temperatures, this LED tape will be ideal for all applications, both interior and exterior, depending upon the level of Ingress Protection you decide upon. From 4.8W to 14.4W, the tape’s light intensity is determined by its power requirement.
  • Dual colour – Equipped with sequenced warm white and cool white LEDs, this 14.4W strip light can be used in all domestic applications, as well as in a wide range of commercial settings. Producing 1020 Lumens of brightness, its light is the equivalent of an 80W traditional bulb, for a fraction of the energy.
  • RGB colour 12V – This LED strip is available in 7.2W and 14.4W versions. Its colour-changing capabilities have been utilised extensively, not only in homes and commercial settings, but also for design projects, notably, the Toffee Factory in Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
  • RGBW – This style of LED tape creates similar effects to that of the aforementioned RGB, only with the added bonus of cool or warm white options, both of which will enable you to achieve a wider range of colours. Its amazing lighting effects can be controlled by the RGBW LED Remote.
  • RGB Pixel Tape – The perfect product for use in any commercial application, it was used at Samsung’s Galaxy Tablet & Gear launch in 2013, and for their amazing TV advertisement Extreme Sheep. LED pixel tape has so many great lighting features that it requires  a dedicated 16 Key LED Pixel Tape Remote Control to ensure you make the most of them all.

 Ultra-Convenient & Incredibly Flexible

If ease of installation and convenience are important to you, you’ll be happy to discover that there are LED strip light kits available.

They include all the aforementioned types, packed in lengths from 1-metre to 5-metres, together with a corresponding Plug-and-Play Power Adaptor.

Should the dimensions of your space dictate a shorter length of tape, or if you require it customised to form multiple lengths, you can cut it very easily using just a pair of household scissors.

The tape is marked at 10cm intervals to assist you and when cut, the ends can simply be adjoined with an LED strip light connector without the need for any bothersome soldering.

The connectors are amongst a whole swathe of LED accessories, and which you choose will be dependant upon whether your tape is of the 3528 or the 5050 variety.

To achieve an incredibly professional-looking installation and to ensure the LED strip lights continue to perform optimally for their full 50,000 hour expected life-span, Aluminium LED Profiles are recommended.

Whilst it’s possible to affix the strips using their 3M adhesive backing tape, the profiles are a much more permanent option, also allowing the tape’s wide 120° beam angle to be maximised.

Super Energy-Efficient And Environmentally-Friendly

In comparison with traditional fluorescent and incandescent light sources, LED strip lights are incredibly energy-efficient, requiring a tiny proportion of the electricity to power them, yet producing the same amount of light.

LED tape is manufactured using only 100% recyclable materials, so it’s less likely to end up in landfill sites, unlike the majority of worn-out traditional lights.

Halogens also contain between 0.04 and 0.7 mg of Mercury, a highly toxic element which is released into the environment in the event of a breakage. LEDs require no harmful substances to produce their light, making them much more ecologically-friendly.

Based on an average 8 hour working day, LED strips will function for 17.12 years, more than twice the lifetime of a halogen bulb and many times that of an incandescent.

And speaking of longevity, or lack thereof, inefficient “D”-class halogen bulbs are due to begin being phased out in Europe, on the 1st of September 2018, so it certainly looks as though LEDs are here to stay, in more ways than one!
