20 Watt - 6FT - LED - RGBW Strip Light - Starfish IOT - 120 Volt - 1600 Lumens

12 V and 24 V are common; 24 V handles longer runs with less drop. Match wattage per foot to brightness needs and ensure the driver is sized with 20–30% headroom.

Accent: ~100–250 lm/ft; task (under‑cabinet): ~250–450+ lm/ft. Test on site to balance brightness and comfort.

2700–3000K is warm residential; 3500–4000K is neutral; CRI 90+ is recommended for kitchens and closets. Keep CCT consistent in sightlines.

Choose at least IP20 for dry interiors, IP54–65 for kitchens/baths, and IP65–67 for exterior exposure and patios.

Sum total wattage and add headroom; inject power at both ends or mid‑run for long lengths. Use heavier gauge leads and observe max run lengths.

Cut only at marked pads. Many systems offer solderless connectors; soldering provides the most reliable joints if done correctly.

Use clean, dry surfaces; prime if necessary. For longevity, mount in aluminum channels with clips; avoid bending around sharp corners.

Most tapes dim with ELV/triac when paired with the right driver or via 0–10 V, Zigbee, or Wi‑Fi dimmers. Follow compatibility charts.

Channels act as heat sinks and provide diffusion to hide dots. Opal lenses reduce glare under cabinets and along toe‑kicks.

Wipe dust from lenses, check adhesive annually, and re‑seat any loose runs. Keep drivers ventilated and accessible.
