Power Requirements

This LED strip product requires a DC 12V or 24V power source to operate. We recommend a minimum power supply capacity of 96W when operating the entire 16 ft reel. Learn more about calculating power supply requirements here.

This LED strip can be dimmed via a traditional wall-dimmer (e.g. Lutron/Leviton) or an inline dimmer (e.g. PWM FilmGrade dimmer). Use a dimmable power supply (PN3093/3096) when connecting to a traditional wall-dimmer system and a standard power supply (PN3091/3092) when using an inline dimmer.

WARM & VIVID COLORS

Being energy efficient doesn't mean compromising on color quality. Recreate the same, warm environment as incandescent and halogen lighting with 2700K and 3000K color at 95 CRI. Colors appear natural and vivid even under warm and relaxing light.

FLICKER-FREE & HEALTHY

Some LED lights will produce rapid flicker or pulses that aren't immediately visible to the naked eye, which can cause headaches, nausea and eye strain. Our CENTRIC SERIES™ products include additional electrical circuitry to achieve a truly flicker-free light output that produces a comfortable and stable light level. Learn more about flicker here, or watch our video demonstration below.

NOTE: These LED strip lights must be paired with a flicker-free power supply to ensure that the light output remains flicker-free.

STRONG & SECURE ADHESION

Pre-applied 3M VHB double-sided tape on the back side allows for simple but reliable installation. Peel back the liner and apply to virtually any surface. Architectural-grade adhesive ensures your LED strips stay in place.

CUT-TO-LENGTH

These LED strips can be cut to length in 2 inch intervals using just a pair of scissors.

Now you can install lighting to fit the exact length of any cabinet or interior feature. No more dark spots or uneven lighting!

REJOIN LED SEGMENTS

Conveniently rejoin cut LED segments using our PN 3071 solderless connectors. The connector cable is flexible, so you can also turn corners or change the direction of your LED strip run.

FOR A SOFTER LOOK

Aluminum channels, while optional, are great way to house and mount LED strip lights. Particularly for applications where the LED strip light is exposed, the aluminum channel and included diffuser can improve overall aesthetics and help disperse the light more effectively to eliminate glare.

Frequently Asked Questions About this Product

FAQ

What is the difference between the 12V and 24V versions?

The light output specifications of the 12V and 24V, in both brightness and quality, are identical. We offer both options to accommodate customers who may have an existing electrical system (e.g. 12V battery in an automobile).

If you do not have any existing voltage level requirements, we generally recommend 24V as this allows for longer runs (see below) and reduced voltage drop.

What type of power supply do I need?

This LED strip product requires a DC 12V or DC 24V (depending on your selection) to operate. For most residential and commercial installations, this means that the AC 120V (North America) or AC 240V (Europe) needs to be converted via a power supply unit.

When choosing a power supply unit, you must ensure that the output voltage matches the LED strip voltage (i.e. DC 12V or DC 24V), and that the power supply capacity is sufficient to operate the length of LED strip.

The power supply capacity needed is determined by the total length of LED strip connected. Each 1 foot section consumes 5.5 watts of power - so, for example, a 10 foot section will consume 55 watts of power, and we would therefore recommend a minimum power capacity of 55 watts.

Typically, however, it is a good idea not to run a power supply at its maximum capacity. We recommend providing an extra 5-15% of "headroom" above the actual LED strip power consumption.

How do I connect this product to a power supply?

Each reel of LED strip includes wire cables pre-mounted on both ends. The cables are 16 AWG and are 13.7 inches in length, with insulation trimmed & tinned at the ends.

For hard-wired application, simply use twist-on wire connectors ("wire nuts") to connect the positive and ground wires to the corresponding DC output wires of the power supply unit.

If using a power supply with a DC plug output, use an adapter such as PN 7094 to convert the DC plug to wire receptacles.

What is the maximum run length of this LED strip light?

The maximum run length is 16.4 ft (one reel) for the 12V versions, and 32.8 ft (two reels) for the 24V versions. The maximum run length represents the longest permitted length of LED strip that can be connected as a single consecutive run to a power supply.

Do these LED strip lights require heatsinking?

Because the premium LEDs on this product are under-driven below their rated capacity, these LED strips can be operated without any heatsinking or additional thermal management.

Temperature rise of the LED strips is typically 50 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celsius) over ambient.

Do these lights emit any UV radiation?

These lights do not emit any ultraviolet radiation. The light output covers the entire visible spectrum between 420 nanometers and 800 nanometers, but does not go below (UV-A) or above (infrared).

Great for Undercabinet Lights

Beautiful light quality and easy to work with.

Consistently excellent

Although it’s pricey, it’s reliably excellent quality. Think of an aspect of light quality, and they’ve already thought of it and engineered it in. Across a number of projects we’ve been pleased with the consistency, durability, and the way it holds its brightness over time.

The only time a small segment burned out was when it was installed directly somewhere very wooden and very enclosed, after running for months with unreasonably low heat dissipation. That’s not really the fault of the product.

In the scheme of any sort of project, the Waveform premium pays for itself in not having to rip things out and fix them later.

2 year experience

We installed the 2700k version underneath cabinets in the kitchen and in the master bathroom. Over the last 2 years we have been very satisfied with the performance, the adherence to the wooden surface is very good and we very much like the warm but still crisp light.
