LED tape light (sometimes called “LED strip light”) is one of the most versatile lighting solutions available today. This flexible, cuttable lighting comes on a roll, completely different from rigid LED strip fixtures you’d find in shops or garages. Whether you’re installing under cabinet lighting in your kitchen or adding outdoor LED tape light to your patio, these flexible systems offer unmatched customization and energy efficiency.

Ask installers what affluent millennial and Gen Z clients request most, and saturated RGB color lands near the top of the list almost every time. For years that created a problem on the install side.

LED light strips have quickly become a popular accent and decorative lighting solution. LED strip lights are used in many facets of lighting design thanks to their compact size, high brightness, and low power consumption.

Not only are they easy to install, but they can also be customized to fit any space perfectly — whether that’s under your cabinets or kitchen counter, through the stairwell, behind the TV, or along an outdoor walkway. But not all tape light is created equal. With many lumen outputs, IP ratings, cut requirements, and voltages to consider, how does one know if they’re installing LED strip lights correctly? Here are five common installation mistakes that even lighting pros make and how to easily avoid them.
