What is Baseboard?

The baseboards are the metal or wooden pieces that allow you to install them along the bottom of the walls. You can use them to enhance the aesthetics of your place but also prevent water to the drywall. The main material is wood, MDF, or PVC. They are in different heights, styles, and colors. Some are plain, while others have decorative designs. Now, more and more customers will choose baseboards that allow the integration of lighting to add lighting to the floor. Not only for safety but also to enhance the ambiance.

Why Need To Add Baseboard Lighting?

The skirting lighting is a simple way to enhance your place, below are the benefits you will get.

Better Ambiance

You can add various static color or dynamic LED strips into the baseboard channels to soft lighting to create a warm, inviting glow at floor.

Improved Safety

Add lighting to the floor will allow you to see at night without turning on the main lighting. They will brighten the dark areas around the baseboard to prevent slip and Collision.

Modern Look

Most of them can integrate into the baseboard seamlessly for a sleek and minimalist finish. It will make your room feel more luxurious.

The lighting at the baseboard level makes your place look bigger. It draws the eye upward, creating depth.

Energy Efficiency

The skirting base lighting uses less power than traditional wall lights. It will save power and reduce your power cost.

How To Add Them?

To add the skirting board LED channels to your place, you need to consider the facts below:

LED Aluminum Channels

Various styles and colors of LED profile channels are available on the market with different installation methods. Please check and confirm the details before you start your project. There are black, white, and silver color ones available; you can also customize the color from us. Take the ones that can be blended into your space. If there are corners, you also need to consider how to install them for corners.

LED Strip Lights

After you select the LED channels, then you need to confirm the width of the LED strips you can use. Because our baseboard profiles have a downward lighting design and do not need bright lighting for the toe kick lighting, you can add the 2700K&3000K warm white or 4000K natural white LED strips inside, no matter if they are COB or SMDs, do not worry spots.

Power Supply & Controller

Because the LED lights work on low voltage, so you also need power supply. Calculate the power consumption of the LED lights before you purchase LED drivers. The output power of power supplies should have at 10-15% redundancy for long, stable runs. To change the color, adjust the dynamic effects or color temperature, you will need to add dimmers or controllers. You may need the following other products: extended wires, connectors, remote controls, silicone glue, etc. If you are not sure what you will need, tell us how you will lay them out, and we will provide a list of everything you need.

How To Cut The LED Profiles To The Desired Size?

The length of most LED profiles in stock is 2M; in some models, it is 2.5M or 3M, and the maximum length can be 6M. We can help you cut to any size you want for free. But when you want to do it by yourself, the question is, how do you do it yourself?

How to cut LED profiles to your desired size

First, we need to know what material the LED profiles on the market are made of to answer the question. Most LED Light Profiles are made of aluminum, but some are made of silicone or PVC. If they are made of silicone or PVC, you can easily cut them to any size with a knife. But for aluminum channels, it’s a little more complex.

Most aluminum LED channels come with aluminum channels and diffusers. Whether you cut by hand or a machine, it’s important to do it correctly to maintain the aesthetics and functionality. So, let’s check carefully how to do it.

how to cut LED channels

Step 1: Before cutting the LED profiles, carefully measure the length you need. You need to measure the length of the LED profiles and the diffusers. Please remember to leave space for end caps and wires. If the aluminum profiles and diffusers are separate, we recommend assembling them before cutting. We will recommend measuring again before cutting them to avoid any mistakes.

Step 2: Choose the correct tools. You can cut them by hand with a hacksaw with a fine-tooth cutting blade or a compound miter saw.

Step 3: Prepare tools before cutting them. Before you cut them, you need to prepare the necessary tools. If cutting by hand, you will need the items below:

How To Hide LED Strips Under Cabinet In Kitchen

How To Hide LED Strip Under Cabinets?

Adding lighting under the cabinets effectively brightens your cabinets, especially the dark corners or edges. It helps to illuminate the countertop workspace, making it easier to see while preparing food or cooking. We recommend using Flexible LED Strips as the light source, which can provide enough brightness and long linear lighting along the edge of the Cabinets. But the question is, how do you hide the LED Strips under cabinets? Because there is a lot of oil smoke, it isn’t easy to mount them on. Working for a long time in that situation will shorten the lifespan of LED Strips. So we recommend using the aluminum channels to hide the LED strips under cabinets.

The Correct Way To Hang LED Strips On Walls

LED strips are a popular way to add ambient lighting to any room. Whether you want to create a relaxing atmosphere or enhance the aesthetics of your space, hanging LED strips on walls can be a great solution. But how to hang LED Strip Lights without damaging the wall? Today, let’s teach you to do it correctly.

Firstly, make sure you have all the necessary tools and materials. You will need LED light strips, a power supply, adhesive tape or clips, a ruler or measuring tape, and scissors.

Before you start hanging the LED strips, it’s important to plan where you want them to go. Consider the layout of your room and the areas you want to highlight. You can place them along the edges of the ceiling, around mirrors or artwork, or even behind furniture for a subtle glow.

Once you have decided on the placement, measure the wall length where you want to hang the LED strips. This will help you determine how much strip lighting you will need. Cut the LED strips to the appropriate length using scissors, following the marked cutting lines on the strips.

Next, clean the wall surface where you will attach the LED strips. This will ensure that the adhesive tape or clips stick properly. Use a mild cleaner and a cloth to remove any dust or dirt.

Now it’s time to attach the LED strips to the wall. If you use adhesive tape, peel off the backing and stick the strips along the desired path. Make sure to press firmly to ensure a secure bond. If you use clips, attach them to the wall first and then slide the LED strips into place.

Once the LED strips are installed, connect them to the power supply. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for wiring and connecting the strips. Make sure to test the lights before finishing the installation.

You can use cable management solutions such as cord covers or raceways to hide any visible wires. These will help keep the wires neat and out of sight.

Lastly, step back and admire your newly installed LED strips. Please turn on the lights and enjoy the ambiance they create. Remember to periodically check the strips for any signs of damage or wear and tear.

Hanging LED strips on walls can transform the look and feel of any room. You can achieve a beautiful and seamless installation with the right tools and patience. So go ahead and get creative with your lighting design!
