Tape lighting is like a designer’s secret weapon; an artist’s palette of light that can be used to bring out the beauty in a variety of spaces.
Designing with Tape & Channels
Combining the flexibility of tape with the unique design configurations of channels increases the variety of ways it can be used. Brilliant task-oriented lighting or subtle night lighting; anything is possible.




Recessed Wall and Ceiling Channels
Channels that can recess into a surface allow the light to sit flush - creating a seamless look. Varying sizes and depths allow you to crate a thin design element or a wider, unique recessed fixture. Many recessed option in our Pro line allow dry wall mud to be applied up to the channel trim to create a built-in lighting effect.



Design 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.

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

Select Leads and Connectors
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.

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.

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.
