  • restaurant hall illumination – for such a purpose, you should choose luminaries with a CCT of 1,800-2,700K;
  • showcase illumination – here, it’s recommended to use strips of various shades to make goods appear even more attractive.

Occasionally, the described tape lighting is also used at hospitals. That’s especially true for low-budget medical facilities.

What 12V LED Strip Lights Are Better to Buy for Outdoor Installation?

Here, you need to buy tape lamps with protection against dust and moisture. Luminaries marked starting with IP6 don’t let fine particles get inside. As to water-tightness, you should know the following things:

  • IP67 – these tape lamps can be in the water at a depth of one metre for 30 minutes;
  • IP68 – you may use such luminaries in the water at a depth of 1.5 m for 30 min.

Specialists who install best permanent outdoor LED lights recommend employing IP67-68 LED lighting outdoors. Such tape lamps are sure to withstand many heavy showers of rain.

Profiles for 12V LED Strip Lights

You can find about 15 different aluminum shells for the mentioned luminaries. The most widespread are the following profiles:

  • recessed and surface-mounted U-shaped ones;
  • suspended as well as circular ring elements;
  • flexible profiles (for curved surfaces);
  • floor, wall, and stair elements.

There are also waterproof shells for strip lights for installation outside. Furthermore, you may buy mini-profiles. Such elements suit ultra-slim tape lighting.

It’s necessary to consider the protection level of strip lamps when choosing a suitable strip. Next, you have to pick an appropriate aluminum profile to put lights there. Numerous profiles are in the market nowadays. To discover their features, experts recommend viewing thematic catalogues (e.g., at the LED Montreal official website).
