What are the Benefits of LED Strip Lighting?




LED Strip Lighting uses a number of low voltage LED’s attached to a length of surface mounted ribbon. There are two main types of LED strip lights. The first is a single colour strip which only requires a 12V DC power supply and the actual 12V strip whilst the 2nd is a colour changing RBG strip which requires an additional controller that can be remote or wall mounted. Both single and multi colour lights can be adjusted and dimmed to a specific amount using either the remote control provided with the colour changing strip or a wall mounted dimmer or switch for the single colour LED strip.

  • Reliability: they have a brilliant life expectancy with some reaching up to 50,000 hours.
  • Mood Lighting: all LED strips can be dimmed depending on the use.
