- Use it where nothing else fits - a routed reveal, a thin shelf underside, a shadow gap, a handrail groove.
- Pick by whether the light has a job or an effect - 6W per metre is a line you notice, 10W is enough to be useful under a cabinet. For a cove lighting a ceiling, go wider.
- Order a 5mm channel with it - narrow tape has less board to shed heat through, so the profile is not optional on a continuous run.
- Route the groove carefully - cut slightly deeper than the profile and test on an offcut. At this width a groove a millimetre too wide cannot be undone.
- Cut only at the marked points, and size the driver at load plus 20 percent.
Five millimetres across
A 5mm board is half the width of standard LED tape. It fits grooves and gaps that nothing else will: a routed reveal in a cabinet door, the underside of a thin shelf, a shadow gap between two panels, the inside edge of a handrail.
At 400 LEDs per metre the line stays continuous despite the narrow board, so what you see is a thread of light rather than a row of points.

What 5mm can and cannot do
| Job | 5mm tape |
|---|---|
| Shadow gap or reveal | The only thing that fits |
| Thin shelf underside | Ideal |
| Handrail groove | Ideal |
| Cove lighting a ceiling | Not enough output |
| Under-cabinet task light | Take 10W/m, or go wider |
6W or 10W per metre
The 6W version is for detail — a line you notice rather than one you work by. The 10W puts out enough to be useful under a cabinet, though a wider board still does that better. Pick by whether the light has a job or an effect.
You still need a channel
Narrow tape generates less heat than wide tape but it also has less board to shed it through. A 5mm aluminium profile is not optional on a continuous run, and it is what keeps the groove looking finished rather than showing the adhesive backing.
Route the groove carefully
At this width there is very little margin. Cut slightly deeper than the profile so it sits just below the surface, and test on an offcut of the same material — in hardwood or MDF a groove a millimetre too wide cannot be undone.
