Hamza R. (Islamabad) – “Installed 14 metres of this strip in a shallow 8mm aluminium profile for our F-10 living room cove. At 180 LEDs/m the light is completely seamless — guests genuinely cannot tell where individual LEDs sit. The 24V system meant a single driver at one end with zero visible dimming at the far end.”

Nadia S. (Lahore) – “We specified this for jewellery display shelves in our Gulberg boutique. The 3000K warm white option renders gold beautifully and the 180 LEDs/m density means zero hotspots visible through the glass. Running 12 hours daily for 7 months now — no colour shift, no flicker. Excellent value at ₨ 450/m.”

Bilal A. (Karachi) – “Used this for a curved ceiling cove in our Clifton apartment. The 8mm PCB bends smoothly inside a silicone profile without kinking. Coastal humidity hasn’t affected the strip after 9 months indoors. The 50mm cut points made it easy to size exactly for our 3.2m curved run. Newon paired it with a 24V driver on WhatsApp — very helpful.”

Q: Why choose 24V over 12V for this strip?

At 24V, the current draw is halved compared to a 12V strip of the same wattage. This dramatically reduces voltage drop over long runs, allowing a single power feed at one end to illuminate up to 10 metres without visible dimming at the far end — critical for uninterrupted cove runs in commercial offices and retail showrooms.

Q: Will 180 LEDs/m eliminate visible dotting without a deep diffuser?

Yes. At 180 LEDs per metre, the individual LED pitch is approximately 5.5mm — close enough that the human eye perceives a continuous, uniform light line at any normal viewing distance. A standard shallow aluminium profile with a thin PC cover is sufficient; deep frosted diffusers are not required.

Q: What type of driver do I need, and how do I size it?

This strip requires a 24V DC constant-voltage LED driver. Calculate total wattage as 9.6W × strip length in metres, then add a 20% safety margin. For example, a 5-metre run draws 48W — select a 60W or higher 24V driver. Newon’s High Efficiency Smart LED Power Supply (100W/200W/400W) is recommended.

Q: Can this strip be used outdoors or in humid areas like bathrooms?

This strip carries an IP20 rating, meaning it is designed for dry, indoor environments only. For bathrooms, covered terraces, or outdoor coves, pair it with Newon’s IP65-rated silicone profiles which seal the strip against moisture ingress, or specify the AC220V Waterproof COB LED Strip for direct outdoor exposure.
