Buy LED strips: choose the right LED strips for indoors and outdoors
With an LED strip you can create mood or task lighting in a few minutes under cabinets, behind the TV, along a ceiling or on a staircase. Here you will find LED strips in warm white, daylight white, red, blue and RGB, in 12 volt and 24 volt, in versions for indoor use (IP20) and outdoor use (waterproof IP65).
12 volt or 24 volt?
- 12V: fine for short runs and small projects, such as a cabinet or a display case.
- 24V: the better choice for longer runs, because you get less voltage drop over the length and the strip stays equally bright to the end.
An LED strip always needs a matching power supply with the same voltage as the strip. Have a look at the LED power supplies and connection materials. Want to dim? Then you need an LED dimmer that matches the voltage.
Choose your light colour and type
- Warm white 2700K to 3000K: cosy, for example the COB LED strip 2700K, 24V, 5 metres, dimmable with 320 LEDs per metre for a continuous line of light without individual dots.
- Warm white 3000K, 24V: the LED strip 24V, 120 LEDs per metre, 5 metres, dimmable.
- Colour and RGB: for a festive mood, also in red and blue.
- Waterproof IP65: for the kitchen, bathroom, terrace and outdoors. Read what the IP rating means in IP rating explained.
