Getting a new office renovated this month, we want to put LED strip lighting along the top crown but we aren't sure what to order. The 3 rooms have LF lengths of 50', 75' and 45' but I see LED strips have trouble running in lengths past 16.4'? so we have to buy a larger power supply?

Just not sure what to get..

We can have an electrician hardwire it in.. just need to know what to order.

If anyone knows about this let me know. Thanks

hue is the correct answer.

hue is the only answer.

you'll hate yourself later if you don't get hue. a little pricier but (a) you won't burn your house down with cheap chinese LED strips and (b) hue is bad-arse.

you can use IFTTT to automatically change to purple and gold whenever LSU is playing football on tv, or blue when its about to rain or change color when its going to be above or below a certain temperature outside...


loads of fun

oh, each hue strip can be extended to 10 meters (about 33 feet) and i don't think there's anything on the market that can go longer than that safely.

you would just want to make sure your electrician provides access to power every 30 feet or so since you'll be adding additional strips.

If you are just looking for it as an accent light (no rgb or smart functions) i would go with a tape/rope hybrid. American lighting makes a good one
