Mike Collins, Managing Director of Ovia, shows us 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 famous inventor Thomas Edison, was responsible for this innovative display. We have come a long way since those days and, no longer satisfied with the customary string of coloured lights adorning the tree, we are looking for other ways to lighten up our homes during the festive period.

The Ovia Inceptor Intense 24V LED strips provide an ideal way to decorate all areas of the home, providing millions of different colour options to really bring Christmas to life. 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 – 0.5m, 1m, 2m and 5m. 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:

–           7.2W standard with 60 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white

–           14.4W standard with 120 LEDs per metre in warm white and cool white

–           7.2W RGBW with 48 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options

–           14.4W RGBW with 60 LEDs per metre, offering up to 16 million colour options

Set up is easy in four simple steps:

• Peel the adhesive back from the chosen LED strip and place down on a clean and even surface.
• Utilising the plug and play connections, connect the end of the LED strip to one of the driver leads.
• Connect the driver lead to the chosen LED driver. Then ensure the LED driver is connected to the mains.
• 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 is a simple LED Tape Configurator on the Scolmore Group app which allows you to create the perfect LED strip setup with an easy step by step guide.
