Unlike many of the amateur 7 Colour Systems available our systems employ Digital Technology giving them a tremendous range of control, and the ability to display millions of colours, providing seamless colour sweeps at the speed and colour range you choose. Select from a vast choice of of whites, pastels, or vivid colours with the ability to freeze a colour indefinately. Colour temperature is measured in degrees kelvin and is shown with the letter K. The higher the kelvin rating, the whiter and then bluer the light becomes. A light with a 6500K rating would mimic daylight effects, like a clear blue sky. Compared to the lower end of the kelvin spectrum which is 2700K, which would have a more warmer, orange glow. Switches or Controls?

IP65 is water and dust resistant. It has a silicone glue coating that shields it from splashes and dust. I've used six of the best selling brands in our comparison table. Each one is fire rated and dimmable as standard. Each one has an IP rating of IP54 to IP65 meaning they can all be used in bathrooms or in any room you like.Although this design isn't always perfect as they can be changed accidentally especially by those pesky kids!

The Crompton Spectrum has best range and is definitely the most technologically advanced but it does come with a premium price tag. Control every Mood Light from the same remote, even with your Smartphone or Tablet from anywhere in the world! strips have shorter cut points than 24V allowing for a more accurate measurement. But 24V strips are better for longer runs over 5M. In general the 480 LEDs per metre COB tape, with an IP20 rating is ideal for the majority of applications. Our latest range of controllers are easier to operate with the Gledopto series that can be controlled from your smartphone or with a handheld remote or wall controller. These receivers can be connected to a zone of LED tape and allow you to control individual or multiple lights individually or all at once. We have Wi-Fi receivers that work with the Tuya App here, or a multifunction version that works with the Smart Life or the Philips Hue App here. Cable ConnectionsAs they dim in brightness, the colour temperature will remain consistent. If you want something that reduces in colour temperature as it dims in brightness, then that is whole different type of product known as Dim Tone, Dim to Warm and many other variations of this exist. Dim to Warm Lights The more LEDs you have per metre, the more seamless the lighting effect becomes. Older LED tapes with 30 or 60 LEDs per metre have wider gaps between them which creates a dotting effect. COB (Chip On-Board) LED strips with 480 LEDs produce a seamless, dot-free lighting effect.

The voltage of the LED tape must match the LED driver. If the LED tape is 12V, the LED driver must be 12V.The wattage rating of the LED driver must be big enough to carry the full load of the LED tape, or the total lengths x wattage of tapes that you're connecting to it. Our LED drivers can be loaded to 100%, a 60W driver means 60W. RGB LED colour changing tape allows you t unleash the full colour spectrum with blues, greens, reds and everything in-between. The downside of RGB is that is doesn't have a true white. When you switch to white, its a really 'off-white shade' with a really high kelvin rating of around 7000K, difficult for task lighting like chopping food or reading cook books.

Unsure about where to start? You can find out more in our guide which covers what makes a good downlight and what to look for when choosing them. We also explore the pros and cons of GU10 and integrated LED downlights as each come with their own set of advantages.

The RGB+CCT features colour changing with colour temperature adjustable in one. You have the colour changing effects as well as an impressive colour temperature range of 2400K - 6500K. To select the correct LED driver (also known as an LED power supply or LED transformer) follow these 4 rules: The more advanced RGB+W and RGB+WW offers a mixture of colour changing LED tape with a dedicated cool or warm white all in one. You can either select a static colour, or mix any of the colours just like RGB. You can select the white colour temperature when you need to see more clearly what you're doing, which is ideal for cooking etc. Another key selling feature of this version is mixing the primary colours with warm or cool white which produces some unique orange and pink effects.
