Light-emitting diode strips are a universal tool for improving the interior, suitable for any style – from classic to hi-tech. They help to hide the flaws of the room and create accented lighting, highlighting important areas and decor elements.

Design of LED strips

LED strips consist of a flexible board with LEDs located on it. Power to the LEDs is supplied through a conductive copper track. Usually, tapes are supplied in 5 meter long reels. This is the maximum length for connecting to one power supply and dimmer. Parallel connection is required for longer sections.
