Indoor LED Strip lights

Indoor strip lights incorporate flexible design, easy installation, and white and colour capability. Use them for mood and functional lighting that fit any space.

How to use strip lights indoors

Consider how you want to light your space. Do you want indirect or direct light? How much brightness do you need? 
Flux and Flux ultra-bright Strip lights are designed to be concealed, creating an indirect wall washing effect that fills rooms with diffused light – ideal for decoration and creating ambience. OmniGlow is made to be used as a direct light. Its uniform line of light makes it a striking centrepiece that doesn’t need to be concealed, making it ideal for ambience and practical lighting.

How to use strip lights outdoors

Outdoor strip lights can be playful, practical and everything in between. Just like the Flux indoor, the Flux outdoor strip light is designed to be concealed, creating indirect light for washing the patio, garden walls and front porch ceilings. It's also bright enough for activities and special occasions. The Neon strip light is a decorative direct light that’s made to highlight fountains, outline flowerbeds and add pops of colour to every corner. Bend and shape it into your own masterpiece!
