    About Brightness and Light Appearance
    industrial info icon

    Find the right lumen level to brighten your space. Then, compare the way warm, neutral, and cool lighting affect the appearance of everyday objects.

    Plug-In Tape Lights

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tape Lights. Plug-In Tape Lights.
    These thin, flexible lights wrap around equipment, hide under cabinets, and squeeze into tight spaces—all you need is an outlet. Just peel and stick to attach them to any smooth surface. They’re easier to install than hardwired tape lights, but they’re not as bright. All come with a controller to turn them on or off and adjust the brightness and light appearance. You can also cut them to size.
    White Light—Tape lights with only white LEDs are brighter than lights with any-color LEDs. You can link multiple lights together wirelessly: press the power button on one light, and others within 50 ft. will also turn on or off. For a longer light, connect two strips together. Use the included connecting cables to wrap a light around a sharp corner or make small jumps between strips.

    Tape Lights

    Bend these flexible lights around corners or squeeze them into spaces where bulky fixtures won’t fit. They’re brighter than plug-in tape lights, so you can use them for inspections and other detailed work. They’re also a great choice to extend the life of your fluorescent or incandescent fixtures with energy-efficient LEDs. They have a higher CRI (color rendering index) than most other lights, so they illuminate subtle color differences. Each LED is inspected to make sure there are no visible differences in temperature and brightness, so you can combine multiple strips within the same space. Install them on any smooth surface—just peel and stick.
    You’ll need a driver to power these lights. Customize your setup: join multiple lights together, use connectors to bridge gaps between stairs or shelves, or add channels to diffuse light within your space (all sold separately).
    Note: To shorten a light, cut it at the marked intervals only. Cutting outside these marks can damage the circuit and create dead zones.
    Drivers
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Tape Lights. Tape Lights, Drivers.
    Drivers provide a constant voltage to your tape lights, protecting the LEDs from power fluctuations. Built-in thermal protection helps extend the lifespan of these drivers, and they’re housed in a UL-listed enclosure suitable for wet locations. To install, feed the power source and tape light wire leads through the knockouts. Seal the entry points using a 1/2 trade size conduit fitting or cord grip. Inside the enclosure, connect the wire leads using the included lever connectors. Do not exceed the recommended tape length; to power longer lights, add another driver.
