Product Information

Unless the LED strip light is designed to connect directly to the mains circuit, you’ll need an LED driver to supply power to your lights. When choosing the driver, you must pay close attention to its compatibility. Some of the factors that you need to consider are the input voltage of the strips and the maximum load the LED driver can carry. LEDs, as a type of light, require little to no maintenance, they are long-lasting compared to other bulbs, and the aesthetics that LED tape lights can bring to a room or your home will not be beaten. They also are energy efficient and won't use a lot of energy to emit their bright lights, so looking the part does not have to come at a considerable cost. Before you begin, it is worthwhile experimenting with the lights and deciding where you want to place them to get the best effect. A recessed ceiling may have an in-built cornice that enables you to hide LED lighting easily. However, if your ceiling does not have a cornice, you can place LED strip lights directly on the ceiling or on the walls surrounding the ceiling, depending on what type of lighting effect you want to create. We offer this service, so you don't end up purchasing more than you need, and nothing goes to waste. Your LED strips will also match up perfectly and sit in your desired space as they should. To connect your LED strip lights, we would suggest two different methods. You can either use a connector for easy attachment, or you can solder the wires to the strip - which carries more current and creates a more stable connection. Whichever method you choose, ensure that you are cutting your LED strip lights along the marked cut points to ensure your lights will work if necessary.

Then, you simply need to measure the amount of lighting you’ll need and cut the strip lights to size (if necessary). Once your lights are ready to install, you can simply use the double-sided adhesive to affix them securely in place.

How To Join LED Strip Lights?

When looking for LED strips, you’ll come across various selections. Two of the most popular are single colour and RGB LED strips. How do the two differ? LED strip lights use up to 85% less than traditional incandescent bulbs and about 18% less than CFLs. At first, you may find this impressive. However, this is only the beginning! By nature, LEDs are designed to last longer than their competitors. Because of this, you can utilise it for years without needing any replacements! So, what does this mean? You’ll not only lessen your electrical cost, but you can also bring down your maintenance expenses! Simple Lighting also has a free LED tape-cutting service for our customers that you are welcome to take advantage of. All you will need to do is tell us the exact length requirements too that you need, and we will do the rest, including soldering the wires together onto the front and ends of each strip.

Regardless of your imagination and lighting plan - you can find suitable LED strips to bring it to life.

DC LED strip lights are recommended if it's your first time using this type of lighting. It has less distance between the cut line and a longer linear run. With this, you don't need to be too wary about technicalities, unlike when you're using a 12v DC strip. Also, a 24v DC LED strip suffers less voltage drop compared to a 12v DC strip. Alternatively, you can use a soldering iron to permanently affix two more strip lights to one another. If you’re using an aluminium profile to house your LED light bulbs, for example, there may not be enough room to use a fast connector clip. By using a soldering iron, however, you can ensure that the strip lights are safely joined together and work as one unit. In short, yes - LED tape lights can be cut. However, if you plan to trim it, you should only cut along the marked lines, which serve as cut points on the strip. This ensures the circuit is not disturbed and the LED lights will still work safely and efficiently. Their name says it all! A single colour LED strip can only produce one colour, so it's suited for applications where you only need one shade. Aside from the colour wheel selection, you can also choose a single colour LED strip in different colour temperatures. If you want to use the strips for ambient lighting, get warm white. Alternatively, if it's for task lighting, you can get cool or natural white light!
