Description
This is a five metre reel of white light on a tape just 10mm wide, packed closely enough with diodes that the run reads as a line rather than a row of dots. The colour is 4000K, a clean neutral white that keeps pale surfaces looking pale and makes detail easy to pick out. The LEDs are built in and the tape is sealed along its whole length, so dust and the occasional splash are no trouble. It is not dimmable, and it takes a low voltage driver, which is bought separately.
We reach for this one under kitchen wall units, along the front edge of shelves and inside glazed cupboards, where the tape sits out of sight and only the light shows. The crisp white is honest over a worktop, and it earns its keep in utility rooms, boot rooms, garages and workshops where you want to see what you are doing. It also works above a mirror or under a bathroom shelf, and in a cove or a stair recess where a continuous line of light does more than a single fitting would. It is one we suggest when a fitting would only cast shadows into the corners.
The tape has a white backing, so unlit it stays quiet against pale joinery, with a clear protective coat over the diodes. Keeping it right is simple: cut the power, wipe the length with a barely damp cloth, dry it off, and leave solvents and scouring well alone. It carries a three year warranty. We stock the same tape in warmer whites, and in closer and wider diode spacings if you want a tighter line or a gentler wash. Order a driver at the same time and you can have it lit the day it arrives.

Frequently Asked
What driver does this strip need?
It runs at 24V, so it needs a 24V constant voltage LED driver. Size the driver to the length you are running: the tape draws 14.4W per metre, so a full 5m reel needs a driver comfortably above 72W.
How bright is it?
The strip gives 1176 lumens per metre, spread over a wide 120 degree spill, which suits a continuous wash under units or along a shelf rather than a narrow beam.
Can it be dimmed?
No, this version is non-dimmable and should be run at full output on a switched supply.
Is it suitable for a bathroom or kitchen splashback area?
It is rated IP65, so it is sealed against dust and water jets and copes with the damp air and splashes found near a sink or in a bathroom.
How many LEDs are on the tape?
There are 120 LEDs per metre, giving 600 across the 5m reel, close enough together to read as a line of light rather than separate points.
Do I ever need to replace the LEDs?
No, the LEDs are integrated and rated at 30,000 hours, so there is nothing to change; the whole length is replaced at the end of its life.
