Choosing the right LED lighting is only part of completing a successful installation. The right accessories can make installation easier, improve the finished appearance, and help ensure your lighting system performs as intended.
From LED strip connectors and diffusers to terminals and power supplies, having the right components on hand can make a significant difference to the finished project.
LED Strip Connectors
LED strip connectors provide a convenient way to join sections of LED strip without soldering.
Depending on the application, connectors can be used to:
- Join two sections of LED strip
- Create corners and changes in direction
- Connect strip lighting to a power source
- Extend an installation
- Create more complex layouts
They can be particularly useful when working with LED strip in signage, displays, cabinetry, and architectural applications where clean and consistent installation is important.
The correct connector will depend on the type and size of LED strip being used, so always check compatibility before installation.
LED Diffusers
LED diffusers are used with compatible profiles to soften and distribute light from LED strips. They can help reduce the appearance of individual LED points and create a more uniform line of illumination.
Diffusers are commonly used for:
- Architectural feature lighting
- Display and cabinet lighting
- Retail fit-outs
- Shelving
- Signage
- Decorative lighting
The diffuser material and profile can also affect the appearance and distribution of the light, so the right combination should be selected based on the application.
Power Supplies
LED lighting requires a suitable power supply to convert the available electrical supply to the voltage required by the LED product.
When selecting a power supply, consider:
- LED operating voltage
- Total power consumption
- Required capacity
- Installation environment
- Ventilation and heat management
The power supply should be appropriately matched to the LED installation and installed in accordance with the relevant requirements.
Terminals and Other Accessories
Small components can play an important role in completing an LED installation. Terminals, connectors, mounting accessories, and other components can help make installation more straightforward and provide reliable connections between different parts of the system.
Having compatible accessories available can also reduce the need for improvised connections during installation.
