LED STRIP LIGHTS
FOR TRADE

LED strip lights are a versatile light source that will let you create new worlds of lighting possibilities. Easy to install and connect, this kind of lighting can be fitted pretty much anywhere.

Each metre of LED strip has dozens of light-emitting diodes mounted serially (in a line) on a strong, flexible printed-circuit board (PCB). When illuminated, a well-designed LED installation gives any location or surface a smooth, gorgeous glow.

InStyle are a leading UK provider of LED supplies, so you can order your strip lights from us with confidence. Because we’re lighting specialists, we’ll deliver everything your LED project or installation needs. We supply drivers/transformers, dimmers & controllers, LED extrusions, and accessories – all manufactured to commercial-grade as standard!

Unlike many LED companies, we’ll deliver your LED strips pre-cut to length. We’ll solder flexible connectors, add extended starter-leads, and we’ll even waterproof your striplights if required. That sets us apart from non-specialist sellers of cheap throwaway LED strips (like eBay and Amazon).

Our LED supplies run at low wattage, with a lifespan of 10 years or even more. So you get economical running costs, with virtually no need for maintenance.

Our LED strip lights are available in a wide choice of brightness levels. And they’re flexible enough to fit any space, so there’s no limit to the applications and projects you can use them for.

LED strips are perfect for signage, restaurants, hotels, bars, LED tape for cars, and for your home. And you can get all of our strip lights in IP65 (splashproof) or fully waterproof versions, so they’re ideal for both inside and outside LED lights.

We offer a wide variety of LED tape colours – from warm whites to pure white, and red, green, amber or blue LED light strips. Or choose our RGB or RGBW (colour changing) LED strips, which will let you mix any shade you want when linked with a controller.

LED strip lights are very easy to install, because they’re supplied with 3M self-adhesive under a protective backing. Simply peel and stick!

LED strip Lights are available in a choice of wattages. Each gives a different level of light output, to suit your project’s needs.

The wattage drawn by a strip of LED tape is measured by the metre. So when buying your strip lights, you should always compare by calculating total wattage (wattage per metre, multiplied by the number of metres) and total lumens (lumen output per metre, multiplied by the number of metres). Don’t simply compare the number of diodes on each metre of LED tape!

InStyle offer LED tape wattages ranging from 5W per metre to 24W per metre.

Colour-change LEDs let you create any shade of light, by mixing multiple colours from a single LED.

‘RGB LED tape’, the original colour-change lighting, housed three separate light-emitting chips within each diode – red, green and blue. This combination enabled the user to mix of the three primary colours in order to produce any shade of light. (Including white light, when the three colours were equally mixed.)
Adding a fourth white light-emitting chip led to the introduction of more advanced ‘RGBW LEDs’. This opened up the ability to create pastel colours by adding some white light to the three primaries, as well as offering an unmixed warmer white.
Most recently, we’ve seen the arrival of ‘dual-white (CCT) LEDs’. These combine cool-white and warm-white chips to enable the creation and control of a huge palette of white light shades.
With colour-change LEDs, you’re in complete control… simply set your perfect lighting, and then sit back and chill!

How you’ll control your LED strip lights will depend on the type of LED controller you’ve selected. Every one of InStyle’s LED controllers offers a full colour palette (and will also let you select a pure static colour option, if you prefer).

Yes, LED strips are very easy to install and connect. And don’t forget that InStyle offer a cutting and soldering service when you place your order, so you can have your LED supplies delivered pre-cut to the exact lengths you require. If you need them, we’ll even solder in link-cables to go round corners, and starter-leads that connect to your transformer.

One question we are often asked is, ‘can I wire more than one LED tape length back to a single transformer?‘ The answer is, yes you can! Many LED drivers are supplied with multiple power cables, which you can connect or leave unconnected as you choose. If your driver only has one power cable, then you can wire multiple LED strips to it by simply connecting two cables together using a screw-in connector block (available from any electrical wholesaler).

Depending on the protection your project requires, we’ll supply your LED tapes in a choice of three versions. You can choose our standard non-waterproof type, our coated IP65 LED strip lighting, or our fully-sealed IP67 waterproof LED strip lights.

IP65-rated LED strips have a heatshrink coating that offers clear advantages over older resin coatings. It won’t discolour over time or go brittle in the cold, and it allows easy cutting and soldering if required.
Our IP67 version starts with the same heatshrink coating. Then we fully glue-seal the ends of each LED strip as well, for maximum protection.
An IP67 rating indicates that your LED lighting strip is waterproof. So it’s perfect for applications that will come into contact with humidity and moisture – for example, splashproof LED strip lights in the kitchen, bathroom LED lights etc. And IP67 strips can also be fitted outdoors.

Please note that you should not fit waterproof LED strip lights in a permanently submerged location. (Outside LED lights in a pond, for example.)

There are several methods you can use to dim any product in our flexible LED strip light range. Most simply, you can dim your LEDs using a mains-dimmable transformer (TRIAC). This can be controlled using a standard household rotary dimmer switch. Alternatively you can order one of our high-powered receivers when buying your LED lights. These include 0-10v, DMX and DALI units. All of our LED tape light dimmers are commercial grade products, offering smooth 0-100% dimming. They also work with leading-brand control systems.
