Description
Warm white light at 2700K, laid along a slim white tape just 10mm across and supplied on a 5m reel. The diodes sit very close together, which is the whole point of a strip like this: at that spacing the light reads as a continuous band rather than a row of visible dots, so it holds up well where the tape is seen close to, or where it reflects in gloss doors and glass. Output is fixed rather than dimmable, and the LEDs are built in, so there is nothing to change over the life of the run.
We reach for tape at this density for kitchen work light under wall units, for the underside of floating shelves, inside wardrobes and dressers, in a coving or pelmet detail, and up the side of a stair string. It runs on low voltage, so a constant voltage driver sized to the length you are feeding is needed and is bought separately. Because it is non dimmable, it suits a plain switched circuit or a switched spur rather than a trailing edge dimmer. Keep it to dry indoor positions; a bathroom zone or an outdoor run wants a sealed tape instead.
The tape is flexible and finished in white, which helps it disappear into a pale recess or an aluminium channel. For cleaning, isolate the supply, let the run cool, then draw a dry cloth or a soft brush along it to lift dust off the diodes; nothing damp, and no solvents near the contacts. It carries a three year warranty. The same tape is offered in cooler white tones and at wider LED spacings if you want a softer, lower wash of light, and this is the brightest of the warm white options we hold. Driver and profile are ordered separately.

Frequently Asked
How much power will a full reel draw?
It draws 19.2W per metre, so a complete 5m reel needs around 96W. Choose a 24V driver with some headroom above that figure.
Is a driver supplied?
No. The tape needs a separate 24V constant voltage driver, which you size to the length you are actually running.
How dense are the LEDs?
There are 240 LEDs per metre, the closest spacing in this range, which is why the light looks like a line rather than a series of points.
How warm is 2700K in practice?
It is a soft warm white, close to the tone of a traditional filament lamp, with colour rendering above 80 for natural looking surfaces and food.
Can it be dimmed?
No, this reel is non dimmable and should be run from a plain switched circuit.
How long should it last?
The LEDs are rated at 30,000 hours of average life.
