Diode LED VALENT® Mini 8mm — High-Density LED Tape Light, 24V

The Diode LED VALENT® Mini 8mm is a slim, high-density LED tape light designed for seamless, dot-free illumination in tight spaces. At just 0.31" (8mm) wide and 0.1" tall, it fits slim aluminum channels and millwork profiles where wider tape is impractical — while delivering dense, uninterrupted linear light across every inch when paired with a diffuser lens.

Available in two output tiers — 1.46W/ft (24V-VL8MN1, up to 220 lm/ft, 66ft max run) and 2.93W/ft (24V-VL8MN3, up to 450 lm/ft, 33ft max run) — with 88 LED chips per foot, 90+ CRI, and six CCT options from 2400K to 5000K. Runs on 24V DC, cuts every 1.09 in., and is backed by a 10-Year Limited Warranty with UL Listed 2108 certification.
