Bedford’s JAWS Aquatics have installed bespoke blue-tint LEDs from InStyle, to help show off the impressive marine display tanks in their new specialist fish and aquarium-supplies store.
The themed store (check out the ceiling in this pic!) needed high-power LED lights at the cool-white end of the Kelvin colour-temperature scale. InStyle supplied samples, and the final choice was a made-to-order 7,000K LED light-tape, drawing 24 watts per metre. CRI for the strips is 90+.
“The colour was just what we wanted,” said Gerald, the store’s owner, “thanks for all your help with LEDs.”
Given the nature of the project, it’s probably no surprise that Gerald ordered all of his LED strip lengths to be heatshrink-coated and with glue-sealed ends, for IP67-rated water resistance!
InStyle carried out all the required cutting and soldering to the exact dimensions required, before heatshrinking to ensure a perfect seal for each strip.
JAWS (it stands for ‘Just Add Water Shop’) Aquatics opened its doors on 14 April. Now open seven days a week, you can find it at the Willington Home & Garden Centre, on Bedford Road, Willington
