Lucretia Lighting’s LED Strips + Neon Flex collection features dot-free, low-voltage LED strip lights and silicone LED neon flex for architectural and feature lighting. Suitable for cove lighting, cabinetry, joinery, façades and signage, with IP-rated options, multiple wattages, colour temperatures, RGB and RGBW effects, and cut-to-length supply for residential and commercial projects across Australia.
FAQs
LED strip lights use LEDs mounted onto a flexible circuit board and are commonly installed inside aluminium profiles, joinery, coves and concealed architectural details.
LED neon flex encloses the LED light source inside a flexible silicone housing, creating a smooth, continuous line of light with a more substantial illuminated appearance.
LED strips are ideal for cove lighting, cabinetry, shelving and concealed linear lighting, while neon flex is particularly useful for curved lighting, feature lighting, façades, signage and visible architectural light lines.
Lucretia offers both LED strips and neon flex for residential and commercial architectural lighting applications.
A dot-free LED strip produces a smooth and continuous line of light without clearly visible individual LED dots.
Traditional LED strips can show individual points of light, particularly when installed close to a diffuser. High-density LED strips and COB LED strips position the light sources much closer together, helping create a more uniform appearance.
Dot-free LED strips are particularly suitable for joinery, shelving, kitchens, wardrobes, coves and architectural details where the light source may be visible.
The final result also depends on the LED density, aluminium profile, diffuser and installation depth.
COB stands for Chip on Board.
A COB LED strip uses a high density of LED chips arranged closely together along the strip, producing a smoother and more continuous line of light than many conventional LED strips.
This makes COB LED strip lighting popular for architectural applications where visible LED dots are undesirable.
COB strips are commonly used for cabinet lighting, joinery, shelving, wardrobes, kitchens, cove lighting and concealed architectural lighting.
Lucretia's LED strip range includes dot-free COB options for projects requiring smooth and uniform linear illumination.
The correct LED strip should be selected according to the application rather than simply choosing the highest wattage.
Important factors include:
- Lumens per metre
- Watts per metre
- Colour temperature
- CRI
- Strip width
- LED density
- Dot-free performance
- IP rating
- Dimming requirements
- Required run length
- Aluminium profile dimensions
A decorative shelf may require significantly less light than a kitchen task area or commercial architectural installation.
For longer runs and larger projects, voltage drop, driver capacity and cable sizing should also be considered as part of the system design.
For most residential interiors, 3000K warm white is an excellent choice.
It provides a warm and comfortable appearance while remaining suitable for contemporary architectural interiors.
2700K creates a warmer atmosphere, while 4000K provides a cleaner, more neutral appearance that can suit selected commercial and functional applications.
RGB and RGBW LED strips can also create coloured lighting effects for hospitality, entertainment, retail, signage and architectural feature lighting.
Where LED strips are used together with downlights, pendants and wall lights, coordinating the colour temperature helps create a more consistent lighting environment.
For many architectural applications, using an aluminium LED profile is recommended.
The profile provides a clean installation detail and can protect the LED strip while helping manage heat.
A diffuser can also soften the appearance of the light and reduce the visibility of individual LED points.
Different profiles are available for recessed, surface mounted, corner, trimless and suspended installations, allowing the LED strip to be integrated into joinery, ceilings, walls and architectural details.
The correct profile should be selected according to the width of the LED strip, installation method and desired lighting effect.
The LED driver must match the voltage and total wattage of the LED strip installation.
To calculate the required load, multiply the wattage per metre by the total length of LED strip connected to that driver.
For example, a 10W/m LED strip installed over 2 metres has a nominal load of approximately 20W.
The driver should provide suitable capacity above the calculated load, but it should also be appropriately sized for the individual lighting circuit rather than unnecessarily using one oversized driver for unrelated areas.
For larger projects, each lighting zone should be considered separately according to how the electrician intends to wire and control the installation.
Yes, provided the LED strip or neon flex, driver and lighting control system are compatible.
Depending on the product and project requirements, architectural LED lighting can be integrated with control methods such as TRIAC, DALI, 1–10V or other compatible control systems.
RGB and RGBW systems require suitable controllers to manage colour and lighting effects.
The required dimming or control system should ideally be confirmed before ordering so that the correct LED drivers, controllers and accessories can be specified.
Yes, provided the specific product has an appropriate IP rating for the installation environment.
Outdoor LED neon flex can be used for applications including building façades, landscape features, architectural outlines, signage and exterior feature lighting.
Lucretia's range includes IP-rated neon flex options for architectural applications, including flexible products designed to create smooth, dot-free lines of light.
Always check the individual product's IP rating, bending direction, minimum bending radius, mounting method and environmental requirements before specifying it for an exterior installation.
Lucretia offers architectural LED strip lights and LED neon flex in Australia for residential, commercial, hospitality, retail, façade and signage projects.
The collection includes dot-free LED strips, COB LED strips, high-CRI LED strips, high-output multi-row LED strips, flexible LED neon, curved-wall neon flex, 360-degree neon tubes, RGB lighting and IP-rated exterior neon flex.
Different wattages, dimensions, colour temperatures and lighting effects are available across the range, with cut-to-length solutions available for project applications.
For larger projects, Lucretia can also assist with LED strip selection, driver sizing, aluminium profiles, dimming and control requirements, installation details and complete architectural lighting design.
