Mike Collins, Managing Director of Ovia, shows you how to take Christmas lighting to a whole new level with the Inceptor Intense LED strips.
The tradition of putting up Christmas lights dates back to 1882, when the first Christmas tree illuminated by electric lights was introduced in New York. Edward Johnson, a friend of the inventor Thomas Edison, was responsible for this innovative display.
We’ve come a long way since those days and, no longer satisfied with the customary string of coloured lights adorning the tree, customers are looking for other ways to lighten up their homes during the festive period.
Bring Christmas to life
The Ovia Inceptor Intense 24 V LED strips provide an ideal way to decorate all areas of the home, providing lots of different colour options to really bring Christmas to life. You can use them to frame doorways, around the edges of mirrors, across mantlepieces, to name just a few of the endless options.
The strips are available in cool white, warm white and RGBW and they come in four pre-cut lengths – 0.5, 1, 2 and 5 m. They use a plug and play system, which makes installation quick and easy.
IP20 and IP65 rated, the LED strips come in the following variants:
• 7.2 W standard with 60 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white.
• 14.4 W standard with 120 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white.
• 7.2 W RGBW with 48 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options.
• 14.4 W RGBW with 60 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options.
Setup is easy and achieved in four steps:
1. Peel the adhesive back from the chosen LED strip and place down on a clean and even surface.
2. Utilising the plug and play connections, connect the end of the LED strip to one of the driver leads.
3. Connect the driver lead to the chosen LED driver. Then ensure the LED driver is connected to the mains.
4. Switch on the power.
With a variety of strips, connectors, and drivers available in the range, their use goes well beyond the festive period. Installers have the flexibility for complete customisation, whether working within domestic, retail, or outdoor settings.
There’s a simple LED tape configurator available on the Scolmore Group App which allows you to create the perfect LED strip setup with an easy step-by-step guide.
