LED Tape recommendations

[rolyberkin]

Hi All

Unbelievably I have never fitted LED tape and have always chosen LED battens.

I have an under cabinet approx 1.5m long, any recommendations for a make type or supplier gladly recieved along with any top tips for fitting.

Not sure about make/type but don't rely on the adhesive for fitting. Use extra fittings to fix it up.... So I've been told...

Agree with Spoon. Existing kitchens, no matter how well you clean the surface, 3m adhesive will fail in my experience. Even brand new wall units, it doesn't always stay put. Clips or extrusions for the tape IMO.

I've been using PowerLed tape and drivers recently, supplied by Yesss Electrical. Seems quite reliable so far. The drivers are quite bulky if you are trying to hide them under a unit though.

Ive used crompton but had a couple of driver failures and the connections if splitting the lengths arent very good, ive also used deltech and that seems ok.

Ansell for me. Normally use glue and activator to stick it or use extrusion.

Fit it in the aluminium extrusion for a professional finish; you'll have to screw the extrusion in place, but the tape will stick into the extrusion.

Ledridge for me there stuff is excellent.you put a metal trim up then stick the tape to the trim so no cleaning units etc to get it to stick.have it i my own kitchen for over a year and done loads of kitchens with it and never a failure yet.advice do not use tamlite made that mistake many years ago hence why I do not use cef

I have mostly used Aurora for commercial and architectural lighting. they also do kits in the En-lite range.

I put the drivers on the top of the cabinate.

In the end I picked up some tape and aluminium extrusions from my supplier. Stuck the aluminium on with industrial double sided tape, impressed with results so not going back to strip lighting! Thanks for advice!
