STRIP LIGHTS

Strip lighting can create the most attractive lighting in a home or commercial property if done correctly. There are so many different types of styles and colours which can make selection difficult. Today in this article, read Everything You Need To Know About Strip Lighting.

BRIGHTNESS

Strip lights can produce between 100 lumens /metre and 3000 lumens/metre on a single row of strip. A light bulb or Downlight produces close to 1000 lumens. If you are using the strip light to light up a kitchen bench, bathroom basin or make up area, high lumens are very important. For decorative areas, lower lumens would be suitable.

LEDs/metre or DOTS Normally, higher lumen strip will have more LEDs/metre, 190 - 240, give bright and even distribution up to 3000 lumens/metre, however many lower output strips will have LEDs spaced out 30 - 60 LEDs/m which look uneven and unattractive (“Dot effect”). A new COB strip light is the best solution for lower lumens as it is a continuous strip with no dots which is very attractive, but still with 1200 lumens/metre and lower power requirements.

COLOUR

Colour can change the complete appearance. Not only full colour RGB (Red, Green, Blue) but even the white selection from 2700k Warm White to 6400k Cool White can make a big difference. Strip light is available in single colour - warm, natural or bright white, as well as CCT adjustable which lets you select your exact colour temperature and brightness. This is also available in COB which is dotless and very attractive.
