How to Build a System


Planning is a critical piece to installing tape lighting. It starts with selecting the right light source and ending with the right accessories. Before starting a project, ensure to have all the necessary compatible components to build your tape lighting system.

Number 1 with 8T tape lights.

1. Select Light Source

From residential to commercial grade, select the appropriate light source based on required output, voltage, and application.

Number two with 8T connectors and supply leads.

Select Supply Leads and/or Interconnects

Connecting your low voltage system together requires the right supply leads and interconnect accessories. These allow you to link your tape to another run, to low voltage wire or to the power supply.

Number three with power supply boxes

Select Power Supply

Having the right power supply to complement your system voltage and total project watts will work to deliver consistent, reliable energy to not only illuminate, but extend the life of the lighting fixture.

Number four with accessories for tape lighting.

4. Select Accessories

Accessories, like splice boxes or channels, can enhance the system installation and performance. Extruded aluminum channels aid in installing tape in walls, ceilings or even floors while both protecting and gently diffusing the light.
