Outstanding Brightness! 1198 Lumens per Metre LED lighting is one of the best discoveries in the lighting industry. It is cost-effective, low maintenance, long-lasting, and eco-friendly. However, on top of all those, it is efficient! LEDs can convert most of the power it consumes into light with very minimal becoming waste (heat). As a result, it can sufficiently brighten your space without forcing you to pay a high price! Powered by that same technology, this LED strip light only requires 10w of power per metre to produce 1198 lumens maximum brightness with a 120-degree beam angle . Also, it has an extended life expectancy of 50, 000 hours which is ten times longer than a non-LED light fixture! 12v DC - LED Driver Required This is a 12v DC LED strip light, so it requires a 12v DC LED driver to work. But what about the wattage? What should you get? To determine the appropriate driver for your application, you must identify the total length of strip lights you will use and their wattage per metre. If you’ll use 2 metres and this LED strip light is 10w per metre, multiply them, and you’ll get 20w. Then round this up to the nearest available driver, which in this case would be 20w. Kindly note that you may need more than one LED driver for your project. However, as long as it’s not overloaded, you can connect as many strips of LED tapes as you require to the same driver. Diverse Control Options You can control this LED strip light in many ways. The only thing you need is to get the appropriate LED driver to ensure that it will work. You'll need a standard LED driver if you want to use it with a remote control or one of our glass plate controllers. Alternatively, if you prefer a traditional wall dimmer, one where you twist the knob, you must purchase a dimmable LED driver. Just ensure the wall dimmer is LED-compatible to avoid flickering or malfunctions. Also, even if you don’t want to dim this LED strip light (since it’s dimmable), you will still need a standard LED dri
