They take narrow tape and set it into a groove or against a tight edge, leaving a line of light barely wider than a pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse them where the lighting should not read as lighting at all: a shadow gap under a floating shelf, a routed reveal in joinery, the underside of a handrail, the side of a stair stringer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCheck the tape fits before ordering\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 7mm profile needs narrow tape. Standard 10mm and 12mm boards will not go in, and forcing one defeats the heat transfer the aluminium is there to provide.

For a cove that has to light a whole ceiling, or an under-cabinet run that has to light a worktop, use a wider profile and brighter tape.
