4 Tips to Finding the Best Placement for LED Strip Light

LED Strip Light is an incredible way to bring lighting to places never thought possible. The short length, low profile design and simple adhesive backing bring a large range of possibilities where a LED Strip Light can be placed. But trying to find the perfect location to place the strip can be difficult. Trying to weight the different options of where to place the LED strip for the most light and to avoid hot spots can be difficult to balance and achieve. Solid Apollo LED has extensive experience giving tips to make any installation as successful and as simple as possible. Here are four top tips they give to every customer.

Cove LED Lighting

Step One: When placing the LED Strip Light, understand what area needs to be lit up. Before attaching the LED Strip Light permanently to any surface, assemble the strip with power to see how the strip lights up. Then hold it where it needs to go with some temporary tape, or have a second pair of hands hold the strip up. Then stand back to see if the strip is bright enough and lights up the desired area. If the light is too bright, attach or purchase an LED dimmer or controller, to bring the level of brightness down.

Step Two: Find what position will project the light in the correct direction. While the LED Strip Light is placed temporarily in place, walk around the strip to see if it projects the light in the direction needed. If the LED Strip Light projects in the wrong direction carefully detach the strip and slowly rotate the strip until the light shines in the correct direction, then temporarily reattach. The LED Strip Lights from Solid Apollo LED normally come with a 120 degree beam angle for controllable lighting. The direction of light can be controlled by changing the angle of the surface it is placed on. To reduce the beam angle Solid Apollo LED offers Aluminum LED Profiles to further control the light.

Solid Apollo LED offers a variety of LED light colors and brightness levels to match any project, from the brightest strips for under cabinet and workable lighting, to low wattage accent lighting. 5 separate white colors are available, from Candle Light Warm White, similar to the color of the flame from a candle, to Pure White, for the brightest white possible. Even color changing RGB LED Strip Lights are available to create almost any custom color. “At Solid Apollo LED, we offer as many choices as possible because each installation is unique and makes a personal statement for that customer,” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. “We try to provide the whole solution for every project including the right accessories and full service after the sale for complete satisfaction.”

Step Three: Avoid hot spots by placing LED Strip away from perpendicular surfaces. For example, when LED Strip Light is placed against the back wall of an under cabinet area, the LED’s will individually project on the surface next to the strip as the light from the LED’s do not have enough distance to overlap. To avoid this, try to place the LED Strip Light at least 1 inch away from any perpendicular surface. If this cannot be avoided, use a light diffuser to create the look of a solid linear light, similar to a fluorescent tube light. Solid Apollo LED offers Aluminum LED Profiles and matching diffusers which can completely stop hot spots.

Step Four: Place the LED Strip where you won’t see it. After carefully deciding on the area the LED Light will light up, check that the strip cannot be seen, as placing the strip in a visible area can be distracting. If the LED strip can be seen, place a small piece or molding or move the strip further inward from the area being viewed. If there are too many reflective surfaces, such as mirrors or chrome surfaces use Aluminum LED Profiles with diffusers for a professional finished appearance.

Use these tips to help create the perfect lighting installation. At Solid Apollo LED, they also have a range of accessories to make installation as simple as possible with snap and lite LED accessories to avoid soldering and make any installation take minutes instead of hours.

LED Strip Light Now the Go-To Product for Lighting Glass Blocks and Edge-Lit Glass Installations

Lighting today has become more customizable than ever before, and one way do-it-yourselfers and architects are taking advantage of this is by adding lighting to glass blocks and edge lighting to sheets of glass. With LED lighting the hassles of adding unique lighting to glass and translucent surfaces has been greatly reduced by using low profile vibrant LED strip lights. At Solid Apollo LED a variety of colors and 5 shades of white are available, and even several different sizes of strip lights to make even the most intricate lighting installations far easier than ever before.

Color Changing RGB Strip Light used around the glass blocks

Glass blocks create an interesting architectural element to any room by allowing light to shine through while creating a visual block. Traditionally when adding lighting to glass blocks, the light was either placed inside the glass block or around the outside perimeter of all the glass blocks. Both ways unfortunately had large draw backs by being labor intensive and requiring extensive customization from either drilling into the blocks or having to create lighting fixtures around the blocks for correct lighting placement and heat dissipation. Shadows would usually form due to uneven lighting around the blocks and from the actual lighting fixtures being inside the blocks. By using LED strip light, worry of correct lighting placement and heat dissipation had disappeared. The low profile design and flexible strip is simple to place around the perimeter of the block without modification to the block and can be added to each individual block creating even lighting across the surface. Solid Apollo LED has color changing strip lights able to bring new excitement to any glass block installation, whether in the bar or hallway, with vibrant controllable colors and color changing programs when a matching controller is used.

“LED strip lights are perfect for adding lighting to glass and translucent materials” said Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo, “there is an amazing range of glass products with different effects, and by adding lighting, the products pop and add a new and visually exciting enhancement.” Edge-lit glass lighting is another variation on using glass to add an interesting design element to rooms, stairs and hallways. Traditional lighting was difficult to adapt as a narrow window of light is required without reflecting on the top or bottom surfaces, which would distort the lighting effect. With LED strip lights, the worry of creating a custom enclosure and handling the heat requirements of traditional lighting is no longer a concern. The LED strip lights are perfect for edge-lit glass, as the slim design and small width projects light perfectly along glass and can even highlight etching in the glass to give the appearance of invisible floating lighted objects. On stairs, use Solid Apollo’s Daylight White LED Strip Lights to highlight the glass and add enjoyable accents to the stair area. The daylight white color will not alter the colors of objects around the glass as the color simulates the color from sunlight. Solid Apollo also offers the Candle Light Warm White LED Strip Lights for a gentle accent light with soft amber tones.

At Solid Apollo they could see a need for even more compact and low profile LED strip lighting needs, so they introduced the side emitting LED strip light, and the incredibly small Nano strip light. The side emitting LED strip light emits a tight 90 degree beam of light, compared to wider angles on most LED strip, and the unique design allows the strip to mount perpendicular to area being lit. By projecting light from the side of the strip even more flexibility is possible so following the flowing lines in textured glass is simple to do. For even smaller and inaccessible areas, the Nano LED Strip Light was created as one of the smallest LED strip lights available being only 0.19” wide and 0.06” tall with cut points every 1.94” inches. This incredibly small flexible piece of strip will bring amazing accent light to places even standard low profile LED strip light could not go for consistent and controllable accent lighting.

Solid Apollo LED strip lights are incredibly simple to add to a variety of translucent and clear products for bringing a new element of light to ordinary objects. With a variety of colors, low profile designs and very low heat, LED strip lights make creative light installations simple for everyone.

DMX Lighting Control Soon To Be In Every Household, Solid Apollo LED Expands DMX Lineup For Total LED Lighting Control

3 Way Control from Smartphone or Tablet, DMX Boss or Remote

3 Way Control from Smartphone or Tablet, DMX Boss or Remote

DMX lighting control will become common place in almost every home in the near future. As the technology for complex DMX systems becomes more user friendly and comes down in price for the average consumer, DMX lighting control systems will be utilized by more and more people. Energy saving LED’s already come ready to take on a large range of customizable lighting options, where the color and brightness can be infinitely controlled, but are hampered by current non-DMX controllers. By applying DMX control, the full range of control options are finally possible, such as custom programs that can be created and played back, or tying a variety of different lighting systems together and getting them to speak the same language, or even adapting sensors such as motion detectors. As the need for more energy efficient lighting enters more households and workplaces, and in some places has already become a requirement by law, the ability to utilize and incorporate DMX controllers will be more common place.

Currently non-DMX lighting controllers are limited to pre-programmed color changing options, and only being able to save a handful of chosen colors and brightness levels. DMX systems have been largely expensive and unpleasing to look at, and even more confusing to learn and program. DMX systems are usually seen controlling event lighting, or continuous display lighting and even high-end home lighting, in which case a technician is hired to program how the lights react over a certain amount of time, or by hour to hour throughout the year. Solid Apollo LED is changing this by offering more user friendly and value priced DMX controllers, from more detailed systems where every aspect of multiple lighting systems can be controlled and programmed with included software, to less complex DMX controllers with a color wheel and simple button selection from any smartphone or tablet.

“We can see that as lighting technology progresses the ability to control every part of lighting is becoming more common place” said Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED, “we see the current trends and how lighting customization is wanted by more and more consumers. We believe we offer some of the most user-friendly and budget friendly DMX controllers on the market.” One of the more detailed controllers offered which can handle every aspect of lighting and store custom made lighting programs is the SlimDMX 512 Wall Controller. The contemporary wall mount design has uncluttered front mount buttons, and an internal memory that can store up to 10 different lighting programs. The included software can program color effects, color chases, transitions and even time based schedules on any LED lighting fixture such as LED wall washers and even LED strip lights.

ETL Listed LED Strip Lights

ETL Listed LED Strip Lights

Solid Apollo LED introduces a large selection of vibrant and fully controllable LED Strip Lights for indoor and outdoor projects, with a wide selection of precise colors to match any application. The LED light strips are available in indoor and waterproof outdoor options using either energy saving 12V or 24V DC low voltage. Currently there are an abundance of LED lights available on the market, but finding a high quality and long lasting flexible LED strip light can be difficult. Most versions in the market consist of low quality strips at discount prices that only last a few months before dimming or burning out. Worse yet, low quality spools sold under the same color have been found to have color variations in individual LED’s or entire spools making color matching difficult. Some even have limited or no accessories available to properly install the light strip for a precise fit and a durable installation.

Solid Apollo LED light strips are fully ETL certified to ensure complete quality and durability. A 3 year warranty also comes standard on every light strip to ensure they perform flawlessly from the first day of installation and through the entire advertised lifetime. The LED Strip Lights are manufactured with high quality materials and specific tolerances to ensure the color and brightness is always consistent on every LED and every LED spool. Four different white colors are available, Candle White Warm White (2400 kelvin), Warm White (3100 k), Daylight White (4500 k) and Pure White (6000 k). Vibrant non-white colors are also available in red, blue, green and amber.

Solid Apollo LED strip lights are perfect for indoor applications, and with the low profile design and double sided tape, strip lights can fit into places unable to be reached before. “Solid Apollo’s LED Strip Lights are both durable and vibrant, projecting the same color and brightness for the entire lifetime of the strip” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED. For the kitchen, strip lights are easy to install for undercabinet lighting, whether using for easy task lighting or for subtle accent lighting. Compared to traditional bulky and cumbersome lighting, LED strip lights are low profile and easy to conceal. In the living room, use strip light to highlight coves in the ceiling for a gentle glow. The strip lights can be added under railing or along staircases and hallways to highlight features and for extra safety. All Solid Apollo LED Strip Lights are a flexible design, able to conform to shapes either up or down, but they cannot be flexed side to side, in this case light strip interconnectors are required to change the direction. A full range of LED accessories are available, such as 90 degree interconnectors and 3-way “T” interconnectors to make each connection as simple as possible.

Solid Apollo outdoor waterproof LED Strip Lights are made with a durable clear weatherproof silicone layer with built in UV protection to ensure the silicone material never breaks down and does not yellow over time. Waterproof LED strip lights are perfect for general outdoor use, or in bathrooms and other high humidity locations. Waterproof strip lights easily bring attractive accent lighting and safety to areas where traditional outdoor lighting would be too bulky and would disturb the design and desired appearance. LED’s also work great in cold weather compared to traditional lights, as they do not contain components that could freeze and are rated to a chilly -4 degrees Fahrenheit. Around the house, strip lights can be used to frame soffits, or along the railing on decks and patios to highlight features. In the yard, the low voltage and waterproof designs are great for use in tree houses, or around play equipment, such as swings, for exciting lighting effects and extra safety.

Solid Apollo LED Introduces Premium LED Light Bars With A Slim Modern And Modular Design Using Built In Mounting Hinges

Premium Daylight White LED Light Bar

Solid Apollo LED introduces a line of Premium LED Light Bars, now more slim, modern and easy to mount than ever before using built in multi-positionable mounting hinges. The Premium Bars are UL Listed and modular, meaning you can safely and easily add up to 10 bars in a row for just over 16 feet of linear workable indoor light.

Current light bar offerings are wide and cluttered creating an unnatural and obtrusive appearance for any workspace. Most are not modular and create extra hassle when trying to tie multiple light bars together as they must be hardwired by soldering or using wire nuts, creating excessive installation and wiring time. Current light bars also offer a compromise over mounting options and where the light can be projected, by either having mounting holes with an unpositionable light, or offering cumbersome mounting brackets with limited light positions.

Solid Apollo LED’s Premium LED Light Bar is an attractive slim design, uncluttered and finished in a clean gloss white body offering protection to the LED’s while also being fully modular, where multiple bars and accessories are easily plugged in and ready to go. The built in multi-positionable rear mounting hinges allow the Premium LED Light Bar to rotate a full 90 degrees to project light in the exact direction needed. The mounting hinges also fold flush into the body of the light bar to ensure the light bar is as slim and unobtrusive as possible.

“The Premium LED Light Bar is a large step forward in making accessible modern LED lighting available without the hassle and clutter of current light bars” stated Manuel Barquin, CEO of Solid Apollo LED, “The contemporary design has a lovely rounded shape and clean design making it suitable for a large range of lighting projects.”

The UL listed Premium LED Bar has been created to bring large energy savings, as it runs on low voltage 24V DC power, and consumes far less energy compared to traditional incandescent light bulbs or fluorescent lights. The Premium LED Light Bar also comes with a large range of options, with two lengths, two colors, and a host of matching accessories. The two available colors are Daylight White and Warm White. Daylight White is similar to the natural light from the sun and will not distort the colors being worked under. Warm White is similar to the color of incandescent light and works well to bring out the darker colors, such as browns and oranges in the environment being lighted. The Premium Bar comes in 12 or 20 inch lengths, and the different lengths can be quickly connected together up to 10 bars in length for just over 16 feet of linear light.

The Premium LED Light bar offers a large number of accessories to create the perfect installation. A variety of dimmers are available, from easy plug in options, to a handheld remote control unit. Multiple length connectors are available for mounting around corners or to tie light bars together if there are jumps required to install around obstacles. A motion sensor with adjustable timer is available for hands-free use to optimize energy savings, or choose the remote motion and ambient light sensor, which stays on only when motion and light is detected.

The durable design includes long life LED’s with a 50,000 hour lifetime. The Premium LED Light Bar is excellent for mounting under the shelf or for task lighting above a work surface. The light bar is perfect for workable undercabinet or closet lighting, or for bright controllable lighting in the bathroom, pantry or storage area. The Premium LED Light Bar also works well for unobtrusive lighting over a workbench or in the studio, and the multi-positionable hinges will bring light where it is precisely needed.

The Premium LED Light Bar is the next step in bringing easy to use LED light to any indoor area by offering a slim modern and modular design with built in multi-positionable mounting hinges for quick installation out of the box.
