LED strip lighting under the overhead cabinets of a kitchen

Lighting

LED strip lighting.

Under cabinets, along joinery, up a stair, into a soffit. Done properly it reads as architecture; done badly it reads as a row of dots.

  • Jaz repaired our water heater and while doing so identified a faulty wiring issue with an existing element that meant it had never worked properly! Thanks to him our boiler is not only repaired but actually working better than ever before. Great job

Extrusion is not optional

The channel is what makes it look built-in.

Strip stuck straight to a surface shows every individual diode and throws light everywhere. Seated into aluminium extrusion with a diffuser, the same strip becomes an even line of light with the source hidden.

The extrusion also acts as a heatsink, which is most of why a properly installed run outlasts a taped-up one.

What we do

Strip lighting, properly installed.

  • Kitchen under-cabinet and toe-kick lighting
  • Joinery, shelving and wardrobe lighting
  • Stair, hallway and skirting runs
  • Outdoor soffit and pergola runs, rated for the position
  • Aluminium extrusion and diffusers
  • Driver siting, dimming and switching
  • Testing, certification and tidy terminations

Where the driver goes

Plan the boring end first.

Every run needs a driver, and the driver needs somewhere accessible to live — because it is the part most likely to need attention years later. Buried behind sealed joinery is a decision you regret once.

Runs also have length limits before voltage drop shows as one end being dimmer than the other, which is a planning question rather than a product one.

Where we work

Greater Brisbane, properly covered.

Caboolture and Elimbah in the north, Browns Plains and Parkinson in the south, Victoria Point and Redland Bay east, Ipswich west. Just outside that? Ask us and we will tell you straight.

Answers

Common questions.

Yes, with a dimmer matched to the driver. Mismatched pairs are the usual cause of flicker.

Voltage drop over a long run. It is solved by planning the runs and feed points rather than by a brighter strip.

Yes, using strip and extrusion rated for the exposure. Standard indoor strip does not last outdoors.

Somewhere accessible — it is the part most likely to need attention later, so sealing it inside joinery is a bad idea.
