Tape Light FAQs

What is LED tape light?

A flexible strip of LEDs with adhesive backing for under-cabinet, cove, and accent lighting.

How do I power tape light?

Use a compatible low-voltage driver; match wattage and voltage (12V or 24V) to your strip.

Is tape light dimmable?

Yes, with TRIAC/ELV wall dimmers (via dimmable drivers) or low-voltage PWM dimmers and smart controllers.

What brightness should I choose?

For accents: 150–300 lm/ft; tasks: 300–500 lm/ft; high-output coves: 500+ lm/ft.

What color options exist?

Static white (2700K–5000K), tunable white, and RGB/RGBW for color-changing effects.

Can tape light be cut and connected?

Yes—cut at marked points and use connectors or solder for custom lengths.

Is tape light safe in damp areas?

Choose damp/wet-rated (IP65/IP67) strips for baths or covered outdoor use.

How do I avoid hot spots?

Use aluminum channels with diffusers and maintain distance from reflective surfaces.
