LED Strip

[JoeNorm]

My local supply house has a lighting department. If you want an LED strip light with a housing they will contract to another local lighting supplier to have it built.

I asked for a 6 foot strip with a housing I could recess into a wood channel and the driver(12v) to go with it. They came back with a $290 price.

This seems like a lot compared to what I see on the internet. But I am wondering if its worth it to have something custom built of known(high) quality for just my application.

How have you'll purchased custom strip lighting? Thanks

They were going to charge you $290 to cut off 72" of LED strip and add a 20-25w driver? That's nuts.

Either get an 8'- or put a 4' and a 2' unit together. An 8' is just 2- 4' units together

I guess you are wanting tape light. We usually just use T-8 Led's that don't utilize a ballast

I am wanting tape light with a housing that can be inset into a routed channel. I have seen many options online for this, but its hard to figure out the proper choice giving the 1 million options.

WAC InvisiLED is a very good product under Cab or recessed channel, separate driver. Not cheap though. Used on a couple of projects. Pin linkable 1ft sections, minimize waste. A lot of options, flush, recessed, aimable, corner channel. I get it from my supply house cheaper than internet.
