Classic 120 LED Strip – Reliable Standard Lighting for Everyday Applications
Our Classic 120 LED strip delivers dependable performance at an excellent price point. With 120 LEDs per metre in a standard 8mm width, this proven design offers versatile lighting for both residential and commercial applications where reliable, cost-effective illumination is needed.
Classic Design Features:
-
Standard profile – 8mm width fits most standard channels and applications
-
Reliable performance – 120 LEDs per metre for consistent, even illumination
-
Cost-effective solution – excellent value for budget-conscious projects
-
Precise cutting – 25mm intervals (3 LEDs) for accurate length adjustment
-
Colour variety – three whites plus red, blue, and green options
-
Proven technology – SMD3528 LEDs deliver dependable long-term performance
Perfect Applications:
-
General signage – reliable backlighting for standard channel letters and displays
-
Commercial lighting – offices, retail spaces, hospitality venues
-
Residential projects – under-cabinet lighting, cove lighting, accent features
-
Display lighting – product showcases, retail fixtures, exhibition stands
-
Budget-conscious installations – where reliable performance meets cost requirements
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 10m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 25mm intervals (3 LEDs) for precise fitting
-
Professional adhesive – pre-applied backing bonds to clean surfaces
-
Simple connection – compatible with all 12V LED drivers and dimmers
Power Planning Made Simple:
-
1 metre = 9.6W (standard consumption for 120 LED/m strip)
-
3 metre run = 28.8W (typical application)
-
Up to 5m = 48W (requires 60W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (120W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming
