Lighting and heating / LED strip lighting

LED strip lighting

Concealed ambient light along edges or ceiling details.

Channels, diffusers and concealed drivers help the light read as a continuous wash. Tape, output, controls and exposure rating are confirmed for the exact lighting system.

01 / The right fit

Start with the space.

LED strip lighting creates a soft perimeter glow that defines your outdoor room after dark. Tape recesses into slim channels or hides behind pelmets so the diodes are not in view, leaving a continuous wash of light.

Works well when

The room needs an ambient layer around edges or ceiling details.
Channels and cable paths can be integrated before fabrication.
Task lighting is handled separately where needed.

02 / What to consider

Resolve the
whole picture.

Consider the materials, installation and everyday use together.

Ambience versus task light

A perimeter glow defines the room but may not put enough light on a dining or preparation surface.

Continuous line versus serviceability

Channels and drivers should look integrated while remaining accessible for inspection and replacement.

Brightness versus visible spotting

Tape, diffuser, channel depth and viewing angle determine whether the light reads as a smooth line.

Specification & care

The details that follow the design.

Materials and specification

24V LED tape runs from weather‑protected drivers with smooth dimming. Diffusers even out output and wiring conceals within the frame. Colour temperature can be warm for ambience or neutral for task edges.

Output, power draw and operating-life data confirmed from the selected tape and driver documents

IP rating and channel type matched to exposure

Aluminium channels with diffusers; hidden pelmet options
24V LED tape with exterior‑rated wiring
Remote drivers mounted in protected locations

Warm or neutral white

Corner, perimeter or step‑edge placement

Single or multi‑zone dimming; smart control ready

Installation and maintenance

Is strip lighting enough on its own?

It can define edges and provide an ambient layer, but dining, preparation areas or steps may also need focused light. Confirm the lighting plan against the way the room will be used.

Where do the drivers go?

Drivers need a protected, serviceable location with suitable cable paths. Their position, rating and access are confirmed for the selected tape and completed structure.
