LED Lighting Project Builder
How this works
- Nothing is ordered or charged from this page.
- Not sure about an answer? Choose Not sure and tell us in your own words.
- Several runs, or a loop, an L or a U? Add each run with its shape. Enter the length of one run and a whole-number quantity from 1 to 99.
- Power and feed points are planning estimates. Our team must check the selected LED strip specifications and the complete wiring layout.
- Send the brief in the same browser tab within 30 minutes. Review it on the contact page before sending; if the transfer is unavailable, use Copy the brief and paste it there.
How would you like to plan your order?
Choose a guided project or go straight to the specifications. Only items you ask us to supply will appear in the quote request.
Add model numbers, product links or the ratings on your existing equipment. You can attach photos on Contact Us.

Describe the exposure of the LED strip itself. Power-supply and controller locations are collected separately. Product suitability and sealing are checked for the actual model.
A few details about this location
These details help us design the lighting. Fill what you know; unmeasured details will stay marked for review rather than being guessed.
Do you want a smooth line or visible individual LEDs?
COB, LED density, viewing distance and the diffuser all affect visible dots. We will check the final construction.
No dots: one smooth lineCOB LED strip. A smoother line of light; visible dots depend on the coating, viewing distance and diffuser. Over 160 COB models in every colour an SMD strip comes in
Dots are fineClassic SMD strip. Individual chips are visible without a diffuser, and it costs less per meter at the same brightnessA|BWe quote bothShow me bothWe will quote the COB and the SMD version side by sideTell us in your own wordsNot sureTell us how it will be installedWhich light or colour system do you need?
The colour system and its control signal are separate choices.
One fixed whitePick one Kelvin and it stays there. The simplest and the brightest per watt
Tunable white (CCT)Dial from warm to cool whenever you like
One fixed colour, not whiteRed, blue, green, pink, ice blue, Tiffany blue and more
RGB colour changingMillions of colours, one at a time along the whole run
RGBWRGB colours, plus a separate white chip for real white light
RGB+CCT (RGBCCT)RGB colours, plus warm and cool white chips
Addressable effectsEvery pixel controlled on its own: chasing, gradients, animation
Infrared (IR)850nm or 940nm. Cameras, night vision, sensing
Ultraviolet (UV)365nm to 405nm. Curing, inspection, blacklight effects
Full spectrumHigh CRI daylight for colour-critical work and plantsTell us in your own wordsNot sureDescribe what you want to seeWhich fixed white?
Choose the white colour or ask us to recommend it.
How should the white light adjust?
Choose the behaviour you want. We can determine the suitable wiring from the selected model.
Which fixed colour?
Add an exact shade or wavelength when it matters.
What should the addressable LEDs produce?
Choose the light channels first, then specify the signal and any existing IC below.
For example: each LED independently controlled, groups of 3, desired frame rate, or a backup-data requirement.
Which independent white colour?
RGBW contains a separate white channel. It must be specified for the actual LED strip.
Which white range or fixed addressable white?
The available range depends on the selected LED strip and control mode.
Specify the special-light application
A wavelength or spectrum and the intended use are needed to select UV, IR or full-spectrum lighting. Ordinary white-light brightness settings do not define these products.
For example: 365nm, 395nm, 850nm or 940nm. Otherwise leave it for engineering review.
What lighting output do you need?
Choose the lighting purpose. Electrical watts per metre are separate from light output and will not be invented from this choice.
Use the selected model rating and operating mode. Leave blank when the model is not decided.
List the physical LED strip runs
Enter one run length and quantity per row. Keep warm/cool separate runs separate. These are installation requirements, not an instruction to cut the LED strip before shipping.
For mixed colours, voltages or independent controls, identify each group by run name. We will review groups separately.
Which control functions do you need?
Select functions you want us to match. Existing equipment or no new control is a valid choice. Signal compatibility is checked against the actual model.

Choose a supply only when you want it quoted. Its location and the actual input/output ratings matter; LED strip length does not determine its voltage.

Do you need a mains plug supplied?
Optional. Skip this step if you already have one or your installer handles the mains connection. A hardwired installation does not need a plug.
Do you need custom lengths or connectors?
Standard products normally use their model-specific reel lengths and factory-fitted leads. Choose extra processing only if you need it; included connectors must be confirmed for the selected model.
For example: 4 pieces × 1230mm. Actual cut pitch/tolerance must be confirmed for the model.
For example: Run 1, 500mm input lead only; no tail lead.
Give a part number or describe the mating connector. You can attach a photo on Contact Us.
Do you need mounting parts from us?
Optional. You may use your own professional channel, clips or mounting method. Skip to request no mounting parts.

Recessed channelSits flush in a groove, flanged or trimless
