Do I need an LED profile/extrusion? And if so which one? 

Exaclty

I was thinking this the whole way through the video. so frustrating!

I wanted to see led in each of them to see how light comes out of it

Agreed

Can i use plastic profile? Like electric wire raceway? Thank you.

yes great point! they can work as a heatsink, lowering the temperature of the LEDs andmaking them last lomger!

How did he save u money

Hi There yes they can. The extrusions themselves will let water in as they are not an IP rated sealed product, so you must always make sure the product inside is IP67 rated/ If these are being used externally then the strips inside the extrusions need to be IP67 rated. We glue seal the ends when bespoke lengths and provide them ready to install. As if you cut the IP67 tapes to length you must make sure the ends of the tapes are resealed. You then need to join the cable from the LED Tape to a cable going to the power supply, you can use a variety of IP rated cable joiners for example the push on and squeeze with pliers IP rated gel connectors. Or if you have re thinking of having the power supply internally but the strip externally, we can make the cable length long enough not to require a cable join, EG. a 7m starter lead coming out of the strip and the power supply being 6m away internally. That way you can install the strips into the extrusion and take the 1 cable to the power supply with no additional joins. I hope this makes sence as it seems I am waffling on, any other questions let me know and I can answer for you, Thanks!

Also just to add, a tip would be if the extrusion are sitting on their back facing upwards, then drill some holes in the back of the extrusion to let the water run in and out of them so they do not fill up

I'm having the same problem! Even bought a led profile with milky transparant cover 80% light produce. Still light bulbs, it's just terrible and gives me a head tumor. F* led strips, it's just horse 💩

@@johnvanderv.4219 Hi John, you can use COB led strip now, not lighting dot at all even without led profile, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z1wuthQGjn4.html

I would go with a 12w LED strip light or higher. It all depends on how many metres of LED strip you are using. If you prefer less strip then you can go with a higher wattage strip, such as the 20w or 24w. We have an amazing offer on our 20w LED strip atm see the strip here.. www.instyleled.co.uk/20-watt-white-led-tape-240-leds/ This will be continuous light in any of our extrusions

:D

Hi there, if you do not alreadfy have a coving in place for the strips to stick into then you could use something like this..www.instyleled.co.uk/coving-uplight-extrusion-led-tape/

You can use a 45° corner profile...

We make led profile aluminum housing

You can also buy them from Chinese sites directly. It's the same stuff, this UK store is just reselling them.

You can just put the strips on by itself, these are not necessary
