LED Strips and LED Channels (Part 1)

What to Take Into Account—and the Benefits Once Installed

In today’s lighting landscape, LED strip lighting has emerged as one of the most versatile and transformative tools available. Whether you’re renovating a kitchen, designing a retail space, or simply looking to add ambiance to your home, LED strips paired with aluminium channels offer a sleek, efficient, and highly customizable solution.

But before diving into installation, it’s worth understanding the basics—what to consider, how to choose the right components, and why this lighting system continues to win hearts and elevate spaces.

What Are LED Strips?

At their core, LED strips are flexible circuit boards embedded with tiny light-emitting diodes (LEDs). They come in rolls or lengths and can be cut at designated points to fit your exact space. But their appeal goes far beyond flexibility.

LED strips are designed to be:

• Slim and discreet, making them ideal for hidden installations
  
• Energy-efficient, consuming minimal power while delivering high brightness
  
• Customizable, with options for warm white, cool white, RGB (color-changing), and even tunable white
  
• Long-lasting, often rated for 50,000 hours or more
  

They’re not just lights—they’re design tools. And when paired with the right channel system, they become architectural features.
