Product Category Information

LED strip lighting has become the go-to solution for adding a clean, continuous line of light where traditional fittings can't reach. Whether you're building cove lighting into a ceiling recess, running a discreet glow under kitchen cabinets, or lighting a retail display, strip lighting delivers even illumination in a slimline, flexible form that cuts to length and bends around corners.

Our range covers the three main types installers ask for. Single colour strips give you one fixed, consistent tone across the whole run – simple to wire and ideal for permanent architectural lighting. Tuneable white strips let you dial the light anywhere from warm and relaxed through to bright and functional, so one product suits both ambient and task areas. Addressable colour strips add individually controlled diodes for dynamic chasing, gradient and colour-flow effects – perfect for feature walls, entertainment spaces and displays where movement matters.

We also stock strips built on COB (Chip on Board) technology, which packs the diodes under a continuous coating to produce a smooth, dot-free line of light – a noticeable step up from older strips where you can see each individual LED. With low voltage operation, indoor-rated options and slim widths that slot neatly into aluminium profiles, our strip lighting range is designed to make a professional finish straightforward, backed by our team of experienced electricians.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between COB and SMD LED strip lighting?

SMD strips use individual surface-mounted LEDs spaced along the strip, which can appear as visible dots, especially when viewed directly or reflected off a nearby surface. COB (Chip on Board) strips place a much higher density of diodes under a single continuous phosphor coating, producing a smoother, dot-free line of light. COB is generally preferred for cove lighting, under-shelf runs and anywhere the strip itself is visible.

Do LED strip lights need a driver or power supply?

Low voltage LED strips run on a reduced DC voltage rather than mains power, so they require a compatible LED driver (power supply) to convert your mains supply down to the strip's operating voltage. Some products are sold as a kit that includes a controller, while others are supplied as the strip only, meaning a suitable driver is purchased separately. Always match the driver's voltage and wattage to the total length of strip being run.

What is the difference between tuneable white and addressable colour strips?

Tuneable white (CCT) strips adjust colour temperature along a single white spectrum, from warm white through to cool white, so you can change the mood of a space without changing the fitting. Addressable colour strips contain a control IC that lets sections of the strip be controlled individually, enabling dynamic effects such as colour chasing, rainbow flow and gradients rather than a single static colour across the whole run.

Can LED strip lighting be cut to length?

Yes. LED strips are designed to be cut at marked intervals along the strip, allowing you to trim a run to fit the installation. The cut points vary between products, so check the specified cutting increment before you plan your layout. Cutting must be done at the marked points to keep each remaining section working correctly.

Are LED strip lights suitable for outdoor or wet areas?

It depends on the strip's IP rating. Indoor-rated strips are intended for dry locations only and should not be exposed to moisture. For bathrooms, outdoor eaves or other damp environments, a strip with a higher IP rating designed for those conditions is required. Always check the IP rating against the intended location before installing.
