LED Tape

Anyone installed long lengths of this?

Customer wants it stuck on top of a picture rail around a room (about 20m), there will also be breaks in the picture rail for doors etc.

Just need a heads up on pitfalls with this sort of length required.

Yes it's good and very effective if installed properly

 

[Farmelectrics]

You get joining bits supplied with it it's easy to install just check with supplier regarding the max length

The customer could have it installed might be a bit hard where there's breaks around door ways biggest problem will be trying to hide the driver it's generally used for within pelmets or under cupboard or display lighting installations

AFAIK the maximum recommended length per driver is 5m, which is why it comes in 5m rolls.

The last one I installed around that sort of length required a bigger driver and the tape had soldered tails on both ends, both of which were wired into the one driver. That was in a coffered ceiling though so I didn't have any breaks to deal with like you will.


You'll be better off to break the circuit down into a few lengths, so you'll just need to find somewhere to mount the drivers which is usually the trickiest bit if it's going to be on show!

Over spec the driver (Dim type) & add remote or app via fone on RGB led is fantastic . Use this on kitchen installs above/under wall units or glass shelfs & plinths for mood lighting or disco etc great product just use BT cable easy job .
