LED Strips

Professional LED Lighting for Architecture and Interior Design

LED strips have become the preferred solution for integrating linear lighting into high-end commercial and residential spaces. With a Colour Rendering Index (CRI) above 90, these luminaires ensure that product and material colours are perceived with complete accuracy—an essential requirement for jewellery shops, art galleries, and fashion window displays.

SMD 2835 and SMD 5050 technology enables densities of up to 120 LEDs per metre, eliminating visible spotting and creating continuous light lines. For installations where uniformity is critical, such as ceiling coves in boutique hotels or display cabinet lighting in artisan bakeries, we recommend COB LED strips that offer perfect diffusion without requiring profiles with diffusers.

Voltage Options and Technical Applications

The choice between 12V LED strips and 24V LED strips depends directly on run length and power requirements. 12V installations are ideal for short runs of up to 5 metres, whilst 24V systems minimise voltage drop over runs of up to 10 metres without requiring intermediate power injection.

For outdoor signage, shop windows, and illuminated signs, strips rated IP65 or IP67 guarantee protection against dust and moisture. In food retail applications such as bakeries, fishmongers, and butchers, colour temperature plays a decisive role: warm white 2700K enhances the golden tones of freshly baked bread, whilst cool white 6000K emphasises the visual freshness of fish and seafood.

Integration in Hospitality and Retail Projects

Premium hotels utilise dimmable LED strips in headboards, skirting, and bathtub perimeters to create personalised atmospheres. Compatibility with DALI and DMX512 systems allows lighting to be integrated into centralised automation, synchronising lighting scenes with motorised curtains and climate control.

In retail, high-power strips delivering 20W/m illuminate product shelving without additional luminaires. Jewellers prefer 4000K colour temperatures that balance the warmth of gold with the brilliance of platinum and diamonds, avoiding yellow or blue colour casts that distort customer perception.

Hotel Applications

Perimeter lighting in guest rooms, mirror backlighting in bathrooms, and architectural accent lighting in lobbies and corridors. 0-100% dimming via PWM controllers allows intensity to be adjusted throughout the day.

Retail and Jewellery Solutions

Display cases with CRI>95 for exceptional colour reproduction, illuminated shelving, and dynamic window displays with RGBW strips enabling programmed colour changes for seasonal campaigns.

Food Retail Lighting

Specialist strips for bakeries with warm tones that enhance golden crusts, neutral lighting for greengrocers maintaining natural colours, and IP65-rated systems for wet areas in fishmongers.

Technical Specifications and Component Quality

We work exclusively with premium-grade LED chips (A+ bin selection) guaranteeing colour and temperature uniformity between reels. The 2oz copper PCB ensures optimal thermal dissipation, extending lifespan to 50,000 hours with lumen depreciation below 30% (L70).

Each reel includes CE and RoHS certification with complete batch traceability. For projects requiring energy certification, we provide technical datasheets with laboratory-verified luminous efficacy (lm/W) values.

Frequently Asked Questions About LED Strips

What is the difference between 12V and 24V LED strips?
24V strips allow longer runs (up to 10m) with reduced voltage drop, whilst 12V strips are more economical for short installations of up to 5 metres.

What CRI do I need for a jewellery shop?
We recommend a minimum CRI of 95 for jewellers and art galleries, where colour fidelity is essential for correctly appreciating precious metals and gemstones.

Do COB LED strips require aluminium profiles?
Not mandatory, but profiles improve thermal dissipation and provide mechanical protection. For installations running more than 12 hours per day, profiles are highly recommended to ensure LED longevity. In exposed installations, profiles with opal diffusers eliminate any visible spotting.

What IP rating do I need for a bathroom?
For areas near showers or baths (zones 1 and 2), a minimum of IP65 is required. For bathroom ceilings away from water, IP20 is sufficient.

Can I dim LED strips?
Yes, all our strips are compatible with PWM dimmers. For smart home integration, we offer DALI and DMX controllers compatible with KNX systems.
