I have used DiodeLED in my house. Kind of pricey but is a high quality vendor. They will also do custom assembly to your specs with with quick turn around. And, yes, the channel w/ diffuser is the way to go. Plain LED tape looks hokey if you bend over and look and the light quality is not as good. Also, if you use plain tape over counters there is often the the issue of the LEDS reflecting off the counter top as dots and is very objectionable to most. There is some loss of light when using diffusers so you have to plan accordingly but the improved light quality is worth the trade off.
What kind of cables, did they come attached to the strips? The last commercial job we did had lighted shelves in a bookcase where the strips came with 6' leads. Can't remember the name of the company who made them.
The ribbons come on a 10m (16ft) reel, with wires soldered on one end. If you need to cut it, additional wires are added to each segment with little terminal blocks.
That's for 12v light tapes the 24 often can go further although it's not 32ft it's usually 24ft for the 24v tapes
I not sure why we never used 24v.. Probably more expensive.
Nope same price for ft and less voltage drop. It's what I use. The down side is the cut lines on it are every 2 inches not every inch so you need to lay out more carefully
Just be aware that it has a 180⁰ beam angle.
That's old schoolI must be old school, I hate that tape(for this application)still like these. Low profile and I feel they spread the light better.
1-5/8 (1.625)And what the heck is 1.63"?
I meant to say that turquoise light cast across/around the whole bathroom. The bottom 14" was turquoise all the way around
