Description
The LYYT 20m cool white LED strip kit delivers 6000K lighting across four 5-metre reels of IP65-rated LED tape, paired with a 12V IP67-rated power supply and five DC screw terminal plugs and sockets. The 6000K colour temperature produces a crisp, daylight-toned white light suited to task lighting, retail display shelving, under-cabinet runs and commercial worktop installations.
Designed for continuous runs up to 20 metres in total length, the kit supplies enough tape to cover four separate 5m sections or a single extended run where the power supply feeds both ends of the tape to maintain consistent brightness. The self-adhesive backing on each reel allows the tape to be mounted directly onto clean, flat surfaces or inserted into aluminium profile channels for a concealed finish. The 12V low-voltage operation requires a BS1363 UK plug top (not included) to connect the power supply to mains, keeping the tape side of the installation safe for installation in public-facing or residential areas.
The IP65 rating on the tape makes it suitable for damp indoor environments such as kitchens, bathrooms (outside zones 0-2), and commercial food preparation areas where occasional splashes occur. The IP67-rated power supply unit is protected against brief immersion, giving additional reliability when installed in enclosed spaces or below-counter positions. Each DC screw terminal connector is rated to 5A maximum, so runs over 5 metres require the power supply to be connected at both ends of the tape to prevent voltage drop and dimming at the far end of the run.
Frequently Asked
Can the full 20m be run as a single continuous strip?
Yes, but for runs over 5m the 12V power supply must be connected to both ends of the tape to prevent voltage drop and dimming at the far end. Each DC screw terminal connector is rated to 5A maximum, so dual-feed installation is essential for consistent brightness across the full 20-metre length.
What does IP65 mean for the tape?
IP65 means the tape is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This makes it suitable for damp indoor areas such as kitchens and bathrooms (outside zones 0-2), but not for outdoor use or direct submersion.
Does it come with a UK mains plug?
No. The kit includes the 12V power supply unit and DC connectors, but you must add a BS1363 UK plug top (standard 3-pin mains plug) to the power supply before connecting to mains electricity.
Can the tape be cut to shorter lengths?
LED strip tape typically includes cut points at regular intervals (usually every 50-100mm depending on LED density). Cutting at these marked points allows the tape to be shortened without damaging the circuit. Consult the cut-point markings on the tape before cutting.
