Product Information

Another way to hide your strip lights is to install them in a soffit. A soffit is a recessed box installed in the ceiling or wall and is used to hide wiring or ductwork. You can buy a pre-made soffit that is the right size for your light or have one custom-made.

One thing to keep in mind when covering LED lights is that you should use caution around your led light or any other sources of heat. LED strip brightness is typically described in lumens per foot (or meter). A good quality LED strip should provide at least 450 lumens per foot (1500 lumens per meter), which provides approximately the same amount of light output per foot as a traditional T8 fluorescent lamp. (E.g. 4-ft T8 fluorescent = 4-ft of LED strip = 1800 lumens). Some people think that this is not a problem, but it actually alters the natural spectrum of light. That means your plants won’t get all of their nutritional needs met. 9. Light Penetration Next, consider an LED strip light's power draw per foot. The power draw tells us the amount of power the system will consume, so this is important to determine your electricity costs and power supply requirements (see below). A good quality LED strip should be capable of providing 4 watts per foot or more (15 W/meter).

When you’re ready to install your lights, simply peek off the cover that protects the double-sided adhesive and affix the lights. You might also want to mark this on the surface beforehand or use a spirit level to help you. There are a few reasons you might want to cover a strip light. First, it can be a great way to save on energy costs. And secondly, it can help keep your home well-lit without emitting a lot of heat. So if you’re looking for a simple way to cover your strip light, read on for three easy methods! Required Materials Most LED lights are also designed to use less heat when providing light, making them more efficient and safe. However, some people wonder if covering LED lights is dangerous or not. How to install LED strip lights Now you know what colour strip lighting you want, the transformer you need and the length of strip required, you're ready to get installing. Installation processes can vary depending on where you're installing your strip lighting or whether you need additional support from an electrician, however, there is a broad method of installation that we'll detail below.

There has been no scientific evidence that suggests danger in doing so; it may be more of a personal preference than anything else. Most LED strip lighting is dimmable but you'll need a compatible LED dimmable transformer to do this. When buying a transformer for dimming LED strip lights, make sure the product is clearly marked as 'dimmable'. LED Hut's dimmable LED transformers allow dimming of constant voltage LED products using popular TRIAC dimmer switches, such as trailing or leading edge. This means in most cases you won't even have to replace your dimmer switch. Splashproof and waterproof LED strip lighting There are a number of different materials that can be used to cover led lights. Some common options include:

Creating the desired finish with any chosen LED strip lights is easy with our range of LED diffusers. Available in 2 and 3-metre options and designed to fit specific LED Profiles, our LED diffusers can be cut to bespoke lengths to match the profile it is fitting into, ensuring every desired finish and ambience is catered for. For mains powered LED strip lights - you might need to attach multiple lengths of strip together, particularly if you're navigating the tape around awkward areas and corners, or if you have a particularly large area to light up. To get around this issue is easy by using special strip connectors. Strip connectors often don’t require any soldering - you simply insert the two ends of strip into the two adjacent clips and snap shut in place. Make sure you choose the right sized strip connector for the size of strip you're using. There are 3 different sizes to choose from: • 8mm connector for single colour 3528 (small chip) strip lighting • 10mm connector for single colour 5050 (large chip) strip lighting • RGB connector for multi-colour 5050 (large chip) strip lighting To connect your LED strip lights, we would suggest two different methods. You can either use a connector for easy attachment, or you can solder the wires to the strip - which carries more current and creates a more stable connection. Whichever method you choose, ensure that you are cutting your LED strip lights along the marked cut points to ensure your lights will work if necessary.
