Strip lighting is becoming more popular for use in unconventional places and being used to replace fluorescent and incandescent linear lighting. Vibe Lighting have a range of strip lights in various wattages and colours, and have recently added an LED customisable strip enclosure to their range.

This LED strip enclosure is compatible with most LED strip lights and has been designed to make straight linear lighting easier. Product development manager Stephen Forsyth says “Vibe Lighting have provided the perfect solution for protecting LED strip and in the process has created a ‘fluorescent tube like diffusion’. This allows the LED strip with its individual LED chips (which can sometimes be a glare source) to have a smooth spread of light, which softens the look completely. This customised aluminium extrusion is easy to install and can be used for continuous linear installation and run for as long as you require.

“The aluminium profile not only encases the strip, but also works as a heat sink to maximise the life of the LEDs. By staggering the PMMA diffuser over the joins of the aluminium backing, it provides rigidity and a straight clean line to provide the best finish for your design.”

Vibe’s customisable LED strip enclosure is available in standard lengths of 300mm, 600mm and 1200mm, but is able to be customised to any length required to suit the application needs. Providing more options on displaying your lights, this strip enclosure can be surface mounted or recessed. It comes with a frosted PMMA diffuser, as well as end caps and mounting brackets for easy installation.

Vibe’s strip enclosure is IP44 rated, meaning that it is protected against objects greater than 1mm affecting operation and protected against splashes of water from getting in and damaging the strip.

These strip enclosures are ideal for use under shelving, cove lighting, in corridors, for signage, for decoration in exhibitions and events, and anywhere else you may want linear lighting to feature.
