System · Strip

The Strip.
It follows the shape.

A flexible strip that bends, curves, and can be cut to any length—for low walls, steps, patio edges, and under countertops. Available in colored or white, for both indoor and outdoor use.

Stone walls of a recessed fireplace accented by a line of light beneath the mantel

Where nothing else works

Under a coping, along a curved low wall, at the front edge of a step, around a pedestal. The Strip can be cut to length, bent around corners, and glued or slid into a channel. Anywhere light needs to follow a shape rather than a straight line.

Colored or white—whichever you prefer tonight

Red, green, blue, and a dedicated white light on the same strip. Warm white for dinner on the patio, colorful lights for a pool party, and a subdued shade for coming home late at night. You can program these scenes in the app, along with the rest of the house.

Frequently Asked Questions

What people ask us on the Strip.

All FAQs

Strip or COB: What's the difference?

The Strip has spaced-out LEDs and changes colors; the COB has hundreds of LEDs per meter blended into a continuous line, mostly white. For a cornice visible from the street, use the COB. For a low wall, a step, an outline, or anything that needs to change colors, use the Strip.

Can you see the dots?

In a profile with a diffuser, or under a cove that directs light toward the floor, no—the light blends in. With a bare strip, viewed head-on and up close, you can make out the LEDs. The installer chooses the installation method based on what will be visible.

Is white really white?

Yes. The Strip has a dedicated white LED in addition to red, green, and blue—warm white isn't a mix of colors. That's what sets it apart from cheap RGB strips, where the "white" has a blue or pink tint.

Does it work underwater?

No. IP68 means it’s protected against rain, snow, and splashes—under the pool coping, yes; in the pool, no. For underwater lighting, your installer will combine the Strip with the appropriate pool lights.
