It sits inside the profile's LED channel, behind the frosted diffuser, and washes a soft, even band of light down each riser. It is a 12V tape in 4000K natural white, built with COB (chip on board) LEDs at 120 per metre, so the light reads as one continuous line rather than a row of dots. Choose 4.8W per metre for a softer glow or 9.6W per metre for a brighter wash, in reels from 1m to 5m.

Then choose the length. Each reel has its own lead that plugs into the driver, so the simplest installation is one reel per step, at least as long as the step is wide: a 1m reel for a 900mm step, a 2m reel for a 1.5m landing step, trimmed at a marked cut point. Count the steps to get the number of reels. Finally size the driver: multiply the metres of tape by the watts per metre and choose the next driver size up. For example, 5m of 9.6W tape draws 48W, so it needs a 50W driver. Keep each 12V run to 10m or less, or the far end will dim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInstallation, use and care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit the tape after the profile is bedded and the tiles are grouted. Clean the inside of the channel with a surface-preparation wipe and let it dry. If you need a shorter piece, peel back a little of the backing and cut only at a marked cut point with sharp scissors. Peel off the rest of the backing, press the tape into the channel, fit the diffuser and plug the lead into the driver. Leave a little space at the end so the heat-shrink sleeve sits inside the profile. All mains connections must be made by a qualified electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the tape need a driver?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. It runs at 12V DC, so it needs a 12V LED driver sized to the total wattage of the tape you install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I cut the tape to the width of each step?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes, but only at the marked cut points along the tape.
