Collection: 12V LED Tape Lights

12V LED tape lights are a highly popular, low-voltage solution known for their exceptional safety and flexibility, making them ideal for short runs and specialized applications. These low voltage LED strip lights operate using 12 volts of direct current (DC) power, requiring an LED driver to convert standard household AC power. A 12V LED strip lighting system is the go-to choice for smaller decorative projects and is frequently used in battery-powered scenarios, offering efficient and consistent light wherever you need it.

Advantages of Choosing 12V LED Strip Lighting

While 24V systems allow for longer runs, 12V LED strip lighting offers distinct benefits, particularly for compact or mobile installations:

• Safety and Low Voltage: Operating at only 12 volts, these low voltage LED strip systems are inherently safe to handle, making them perfect for DIY enthusiasts and installations in damp or hard-to-reach areas.
• Short Run LED Strip: Ideal for applications that require shorter lengths, such as under cabinet accent lighting, shelving, and inside display cases, where a short run LED strip simplifies the power system.
• RV LED Lighting & Vehicles: Since many battery systems (like those in RVs, boats, or cars) operate at 12 volts, this voltage makes them the standard for RV LED lighting and other vehicle installations, eliminating the need for an additional power converter.
• Wider Compatibility: Because 12 volt LED lights have been the industry standard for longer, a wider range of accessories, connectors, and power supplies is available.

Key Considerations for 12 Volt LED Lights

To ensure optimal performance and longevity from your 12V LED tape lights, keep the following factors in mind:

• Voltage Drop: 12V LED tape lights are more susceptible to voltage drop than 24V systems. This means the light intensity can visibly decrease towards the end of a long run. We recommend using a short run LED strip (typically 16 feet or less) or powering the strip from both ends.
• LED Driver Requirement: All 12 volt LED lights require an appropriate LED driver to function. We offer dimmable and non-dimmable drivers specifically designed for our low voltage LED strip products.
• Cut Increments: The cut lines on 12V LED strip lighting are typically closer together than 24V strips, giving you more granular control over the final length for highly customized projects.
