Each LED strip segment must be connected to a DC power supply, or another LED strip segment that is connected to a DC power supply (daisy chain). For example, you can use a floor trim to cover the edge of the LED strip or a baseboard to cover the edge.You may have correctly read elsewhere that LEDs need effective thermal management for reliable operation. There are a number of lengths available between 1m and 5m, and you may require an electrician to install them if they're mains wired.

Ensure that the cover is securely attached along the entire length of the strip light and that there are no gaps or loose sections that could allow unfiltered light to escape or cause the cover to detach.

However, if you're just lighting up a smaller area, such as a bedroom headboard or wardrobe door, then a plug and play kit will most likely do the job. This is a rating used across a variety of other LED lights too, not just strip lighting, such as flood lights and industrial/commercial lighting.

However, it is important to note that the cover will reduce the light output and may not be effective in achieving the desired results. Look for LED strip lights that place stringent quality controls and specifications on the LED emitters, and watch out for LED strips that claim a high power despite a low LED count, as this can indicate overdriving the LED emitters, leading to premature failure. If you don’t want to use a lampshade, another option is to cover your strip light with an adhesive hook and loop tape.The power draw tells us the amount of power the system will consume, so this is important to determine your electricity costs and power supply requirements (see below). No matter how you choose to hide your strip lights, the important thing is to make sure that they are out of sight. 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. This is especially true for people who are using these lights as decorations and want to be able to see all the pretty colors.

Finally, make sure that you are opting to install the strip behind a recession or coving for a beautiful yet luxurious lighting effect. I have spent the last two years learning all I can about how lighting affects your home, and now I'm an LED light enthusiast. Reuse existing fixtures: If you already have a light fixture that uses LED bulbs, it may be possible to reuse the same device with different covers. LED lights are a popular choice for home and business owners because they are more energy-efficient than traditional light bulbs. Depending on the model you choose, you can create special effects too, such as flashing and fading to really bring out the show-stopping visuals for big events.However, if there is a short circuit in the system, it could cause high voltage and potentially electrocute you. The aluminum channels may help dissipate the heat from the LED strips, but for the most part they are not necessary for thermal management and are primarily for mounting and diffusion purposes. 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.
