There are a variety of ways to join LED strip lights, so it’s easy to find a method that’s best for you. Adding a connecting clip to the end of a strip light makes it easy to connect it to another ribbon light. LED strip lights are available in a range of sizes, with lengths ranging from 1m to 10m. Although, if you want to cut LED strip lights to size, feel free. Before you begin, it is worthwhile experimenting with the lights and deciding where you want to place them to get the best effect. A recessed ceiling may have an in-built cornice that enables you to hide LED lighting easily. However, if your ceiling does not have a cornice, you can place LED strip lights directly on the ceiling or on the walls surrounding the ceiling, depending on what type of lighting effect you want to create. To get started, you will firstly need to take measurements of the intended installation area and choose the LED strip lights that best suit your needs. From natural, warm and cool lighting to dimmable strip lights and colour-changing bulbs, there are a variety of options to choose from.

Then, you simply need to measure the amount of lighting you’ll need and cut the strip lights to size (if necessary). Once your lights are ready to install, you can simply use the double-sided adhesive to affix them securely in place.Why stop at warm and cool light when you can also find LED tape in multiple colours? With our range of coloured LED strips, you can add even more drama and effect to your interiors. You can choose from either amber, blue, green or red - although if you cannot decide - our colour-changing LED strip lighting options are the perfect choice for you. If you want to use LED strip lights to cover a larger area, you can connect more than one strip light. This will provide you with the opportunity to create a custom lighting effect that looks spectacular in larger rooms. To connect your LED strip lights, we would suggest two different methods. You can either use a connector for easy attachment, or you can solder the wires to the strip - which carries more current and creates a more stable connection. Whichever method you choose, ensure that you are cutting your LED strip lights along the marked cut points to ensure your lights will work if necessary. You can install LED strip lights around your ceiling by following a simple three-step methodology. Firstly you need to measure the ceiling perimeter length, then use a high-quality strip with built-in adhesive. Finally, make sure that you are opting to install the strip behind a recession or coving for a beautiful yet luxurious lighting effect. One of the most popular domestic environments for installing strips is in your kitchen. You can easily use 12V LED strip lights to illuminate those awkward corners of your kitchen, living and working space. You can use them anywhere you like, from shelves through under cabinet lighting to countertops and kitchen islands. With LED strip lighting, your kitchen will be more functional and sophisticated.

Regardless of your imagination and lighting plan - you can find suitable LED strips to bring it to life. Commonly, you will find that they installed an aluminium profile, doing so will hide the strip from view and also protects it from fingers, dust and moisture.

Always remember that it’s easy to connect more than one strip light, so you can use LED lighting to illuminate an area of any size. Through connecting clips or a soldering iron, you can join two or more LED strip lights to create a bespoke lighting layout that will complement any room.

Colour temperature is used to describe how warm or cool a light appears and is measured in degrees-Kelvin. Lower temperatures, around 2700k are described as a “warm white” and will give off a yellowish-red LED light. Higher colour temperatures will be around 4000K, a “neutral white” and will look slightly more blueish. These are available in different lengths ranging from 1m to 10m, they are suitable for a wide range of installation scenarios. If your lighting plan requires a longer length, however, you can also use multiple ones to garner the effect you wish to obtain.Remember - the starting point of your LED strip lights should be nearest to the intended power supply as this will minimise the appearance of wires. If you want to ensure wires remain out of sight, you should install and either cove or mould to keep them hidden. Alternatively, you can even use a handy cable concealer cover. The best way to do this is to choose strip lights that have designated cutting points marked on the circuit board. Doing so will ensure that you can cut them easily without causing potential damage to the circuitry - or the lights themselves.

Sometimes known as ‘fast connectors’, these are easily applied by hand and will connect LED strip lights in seconds. We provide 24v and 12v LED strips in a variety of colours, including natural white, cool white and warm white also. There is no rule regarding which tone is best - this mainly depends on the mood and overall ambience you wish to create.

How To Connect LED Strip Lights?

Alternatively, you can use a soldering iron to permanently affix two more strip lights to one another. If you’re using an aluminium profile to house your LED light bulbs, for example, there may not be enough room to use a fast connector clip. By using a soldering iron, however, you can ensure that the strip lights are safely joined together and work as one unit. LED strip lights are flexible circuit board that resembles a length of tape or ribbon and is embedded with LEDs (known as light-emitting diodes) on one side. The narrow strip is reinforced by double-sided adhesive allowing it to be attached to almost any surface for powerful, colourful and creative lighting. LED strip lights (often referred to as LED Tape lights) are often the buyer’s preferred choice due to their versatility regarding lighting plans.

They are a simple yet resourceful way of manifesting mood lighting in a room, these flexible LED strip lights can also be moulded to fit a variety of spaces - providing a glow of strip lights. While LED strip lights look like a simple piece of tape or ribbon, they are actually flexible circuit board that has LED lights embedded on one side. On the other side of the circuit board, there is a powerful double-sided adhesive that enables you to affix the strip lights anywhere you desire. When you’re ready to install your lights, simply peek off the cover that protects the double-sided adhesive and affix the lights. You might also want to mark this on the surface beforehand or use a spirit level to help you.
