Light-emitting diodes or LED lights have changed the way people illuminate their homes and offices. The world of indoor and outdoor lighting has come a long way since the first light bulb was switched on. Not only can the use of LED lights bring down your energy bills drastically, but you can also choose the voltage, color temperature, and lumen output appropriate for your requirements.  Click here to learn more about KLUS Design’s full catalog of LED lighting products, including the versatile LED tape lights.

What are LED Tape Lights?
LED tape lights, or LED strip lights, are essentially a flexible circuit board on which LED diodes are integrated. Unlike traditional light bulbs that can only be installed into the requisite fixtures, LED strip lights can be installed almost anywhere. You can use them inside, and also outdoors. If you are looking for LED tape lights for outdoor illumination you can choose components that can achieve an IP 65 to IP 67 waterproof rating. This will protect the lighting fixture from moisture and dirt.

LED tape lights are generally very easy to install.  Products usually come with an adhesive backing, so all you need to do is peel off the protective covering and place the tape in the LED installation channel. (That channel is commonly called an LED Extrusion or LED Profile). This is an ideal option for under cabinet lighting as well as under stair lighting. The LED extrusions allow LED lighting to be installed in just about any location, and to manipulate the light in specific ways or directions.

The Many Benefits of LED Lights
LED lights can be installed on a wide range of surfaces including walls and cabinets. They are ideal for layered lighting. Due to the flexible color rendering index or CRI value, the light from the LED tape lights can be configured to produce just the right amount and color light.  LED fixtures are perfect for retails stores, shops, and display cases. In the home, LED lights can be installed where ordinary incandescent lights would not fit – like inside cupboards, closets, shelves, and drawers. 

You can use LED lights for focused or task lighting in office areas and the kitchen. The work counters will receive adequate lighting from the LED light fixtures installed in or on the cabinets above them.   LED tape lights look amazing and increase safety when integrated into stairs or pathways in or around the home. LED stair lights make it easier for people to find their way around without switching on other lights in the room.
