What You Need For LED Strip For Around Your Home
Let us guide you through selecting the components you need to install LED lighting around your home.
Step 1: Choose LED Strip
We have a selection of standard LED colors, RGB Color Changing, and RGBW.
Step 2: Choose A LED Housing Style
Why should I use an aluminum profile?
- provides an aesthetically pleasing finish
- provides a good clean mounting surface for the LED strips to bond onto
- provides a good heat sink to increase LED life (wood ,plastic are insulators and can over-heat LED's)
- provides physical protection
- provides light diffusion to give even illumination
- can be cut to exact length using a saw suitable for cutting aluminum
Step 3: Choose a power supply
All our LED strip has a wattage rating per meter (3.28 ft).
Work out the the total meterage of your project and add a safety loss factor of 20%. E.g., if your desired LED strip has a wattage rating of 4.8 watts per meter and you require a total of 10 meters (32.80 ft), then you need 10 x 4.8W * 120% = 57.60W
Then round up to the nearest waterproof of non-waterproof power supply wattage rating. In this case, an indoor 75W unit or an outdoor 60W unit.
