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.
