The colour temperature of the TUNNELMA LED strip can be adjusted between 2700K and 7700K. The colour rendering index of the strip is 94, which means that colours are reproduced naturally and very well (colours are best reproduced with 4000K white light, as it has no yellowish or bluish tint). This LED strip is dimmable and the colour temperature can be adjusted by ordering a button (RGB/CCT) and a receiver from the VaLO series or the Zigbee series (RGB/CCT).
Product information
This LED strip TUNNELMA is 14,4W/m (424 lumens per meter) and 60 LED circuits per meter. This makes the light uniform enough for indirect lighting, for example. When mounted on an aluminium profile, the light only appears pinpoint when viewed from directly in front. When indirectly illuminated through a wall, the light is uniform. The CRI of the strip is 95, which is excellent and suitable for home lighting.
Installation
The Led strip is supplied in a 5 metre roll and can be cut at 10 cm intervals. The strip is clearly marked for easy cutting. We recommend that the strip is soldered together as we have found that the quick-release fasteners loosen over time and loosening causes the lights to flicker. Our Led tape is easily attached with the included very strong 3M tape. The tape should always be mounted on metal so that excess heat is conducted away from the LED circuitry. This way the strip will last and not break.
If the length of the LED strip exceeds 10 m, we recommend powering from both ends or from the middle of the strip. This prevents light fading and the strip illuminates equally brightly from both ends. The led strip should always be fixed to an aluminium profile to conduct excess heat away from the led circuit. This extends the life of the strip and keeps the warranty valid. Aluminium profiles can be ordered from our online shop.
Led strip works well with 24 V systems such as solar power, as well as in boats and cars. No separate power supply is needed, but of course a controller is required. In other cases, order a 24 V inverter suitable for the loop.
We are happy to help if you have any questions about installation or ordering.
Dim the lights
To dim the LED strip you can use the wireless dimmer of our VaLO RF series. The strips can also be controlled by DALI systems. Wireless dimming is perfect for applications where there is no switch on the wall for the luminaire, but the luminaire is powered by a constant current.
In the case of a smart home, a Zigbee transformer and controllers for wireless control are chosen. In Zigbee transformers, the receiver is already built-in.
With the VaLO RF wireless solution, you simply install the receiver between the LED strip and the power supply. You can then control the strip with wireless switches from wherever you want. The wireless switch is powered by batteries, which are easily replaceable. You can also mount the switch on the wall if you wish, but it does not need a separate power supply.
Create your own light
Why use just LED strips in the traditional way when you can make a lamp out of almost anything? Create your own wall lamp by bending the LED strip and the aluminium profile to the shape you want or by attaching the LED strip to another heat conducting material. Turn a mirror, photo frame, table or chair into a lamp with the help of the LED strip. A good design is half the job. We are happy to help you with the design and manufacture LED strips to order at LedStore's LedShop.
