Where Can I Install LED Strip Lights?

A 20W/m LED strip is very bright and suitable for demanding lighting applications. It typically produces around 2,000 lumens per metre, which is equivalent to the output of a high-intensity task light. This makes it ideal for spaces requiring strong illumination, such as kitchens, workspaces, or retail displays. However, for ambient or decorative purposes, you may want to consider dimmable options or use diffusers to soften the light. Brightness perception can also depend on the colour temperature and placement of the LED strip.

 

Yes, LED strips can be installed in kitchens and bathrooms, provided they have the appropriate IP rating for moisture resistance. For these areas, choose LED strips with at least an IP65 rating to ensure protection against water splashes and steam. They work well under kitchen cabinets for task lighting or around bathroom mirrors for an ambient effect. Avoid direct exposure to water or installing near heat sources. Ensure connections are also water-resistant and comply with local electrical regulations for wet areas to maintain safety

 

Yes, LED strips are ideal for installation inside furniture or cabinets to provide effective task or decorative lighting. For best results, use flexible, low-heat LED strips with a suitable adhesive backing. Position them to avoid direct visibility of the strip itself, focusing instead on the emitted light. Ensure the LED strip has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating and confirm compatibility with the furniture material. Choose an appropriate colour temperature and brightness level based on the intended use, whether for display purposes or functional lighting.
