5 Watt White LED Strip Lights

To work out what transformer you require this is quite simple. You take the amount of LED tape you have in metres and x this by the wattage of the LED tape you have, again per metre. For example 7m of 4.8w LED tape: 7 x 4.8w = 33.6w Therefore you would require a 60w transformer. For more information, see our support page on LED power supplies and their output.

If you’ve ordered your LED tapes cut to custom lengths from us, with all the starter-leads and flexible leads for corners that your project requires, then you’ve most likely got everything you need already! But for some installations, the following accessories may prove useful:

Deciding on which wattage you require is all down to what kind of application you are fitting the LED tape in. The 5w and 10w is ideal to be used as feature lighting. Lighting to highlight areas, as a secondary lighting. Ideal for covings, drop down ceilings signage etc. to give a smooth halo effect. The 10w would be preferred to the 5w for these applications if there is a high amount of ambient lighting. The 12w and 20w is ideal to be used as general lighting or as feature lighting for areas larger than covings etc. For example washing down front bars / back bars / under kitchen cabinet lighting as ‘working light’. For more information, see our support page discussing how bright your LED tape needs to be.

IP67 Heat-shrink type is required in areas where you will need resistance to water. For example bathrooms, kitchens and exterior. The heatshrink version is waterproof but it cannot be submersed, for example in a pond. The IP67 Heat-shrink is a protective coating over the LED tape, this makes it easy to wipe to clean etc. For more information, see our support page describing the waterproof LED strip light options we offer.

InStyle LED manufacture and supply commercial-grade LED strip lights – which means our products are high quality and built to last, using only premium components and branded LEDs:

• Brighter LEDs
• Vibrant and consistent colours
• Accurate life expectancy
• Sturdy PCBs
• Excellent resistor management

For this type of LED tape you will require just a transformer to get this working. You connect the 2 core starter lead coming out of one end. This is then wired to the transformer, red wire goes to + and the black wire is wired to -. The 2 core cable can be extended as required for you to mount the transformer as far away as required. For more information, choose one of these links for support and advice on how to install either simple or larger LED tape projects.

All of our LED strips are cuttable. Each LED strip can be cut at various points, either 50mm, 100mm, 150mm or 200mm depending on which LED-strip product you have. We can either cut the lengths to your specific instructions, or you can do this yourself. Once the LED strips are cut, you will need to join them to a transformer or to another piece of LED strip. You can solder your tapes, or if you prefer we supply two types of easy-click connector clips instead. We have starter-lead clips, which clip to the end of your LED tape and provide a cable which you can connect to a transformer or dimmer. The second type of connector clip is a tape-to-tape clip, which can used used to easily join two LED strip lengths together.

You can simply counter sink screw straight into the extrusion or by using the supplied brackets.

The LED tape can be dimmed in various ways. One option is with our dimmable transformers: these are available in 12v/24v and in 30w and 100w. These can then be dimmed off a standard Triac wall dimmer (standard in households). We also have Triac dimmable receivers; these go in-between the transformer and the LED strip. These work with both 12v and 24v version and are ideal for larger projects that use larger transformers such as the 320w. Another option is with our 0-10v receivers, these can be used for both the 12V and 24v version. They go in-between the transformer and the LED tape and can be linked to such systems as Lutron or HDL. We also have the option to dim via DMX. We have DMX receivers available to work with DMX desks and systems to allow you to fully dim as required. Again these go in-between the Transformers and LED tape and can be linked together to dim all the receivers at once. For more information, see our support page comparing options for LED dimming.

LED tape is very flexible indeed. So it’s ideal for use in a wide variety of applications – including signage.

And the heatshrink used to seal and protect our waterproof LED tape is as flexible as InStyle’s standard strip lighting. Even with full heatshrink coating, you’ll be able to bend and twist your LED tapes to the shapes you need.

LED tape is a versatile light source that will let you create new worlds of lighting possibilities. Easy to install and connect, this kind of lighting can be fitted pretty much anywhere.

Each metre of LED tape has dozens of light-emitting diodes mounted serially (in a line) on a strong, flexible printed-circuit board (PCB). When illuminated, a well-designed LED installation gives any location or surface a smooth, gorgeous glow.
