    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.

    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.
