Planning is Priority One
Tape lighting must be integrated into your electrical system, making planning a critical piece of the installation pie. Map it out and make it fun. Here’s how:
- Because it’s lower in voltage than some other light sources, you’ll need to make sure you have the electrical components (like a power supply or driver) to accommodate it.
- Tape lighting loves tape measures – make sure you know the lengths you’ll need for different spaces. The amount of tape you use will guide the wattage capacity of your power supply.
- Think about switch options. Do you want a standard wall switch or a dimmer?
Before starting a project, ensure you have all the necessary compatible components.
