Overview
The RibbonFlex LED Tape Light Kit is a versatile, DIY-friendly product line from Armacost Lighting, designed for easy accent and task lighting in homes, kitchens, bedrooms, living rooms, and commercial spaces. These flexible LED strip kits provide bright, even illumination without the need for complex wiring, making them ideal for under-cabinet lighting, cove accents, shelving, or toe-kick installations. Available in various models like RibbonFlex Home (plug-and-play kits) and RibbonFlex Pro (customizable pro-grade strips), they emphasize energy efficiency, dimmability, and simple peel-and-stick installation. Most kits are 16 ft (5m) long, but Pro versions extend to 32.8 ft (10m). They're praised for their reliability and ease, with high user ratings for brightness and value.
Key Features
Design and Flexibility: Ultra-thin (about 1/8-inch thick) adhesive-backed strips with SMD LEDs for bendable, cuttable installation (every 3–4 inches). IP20 rated for indoor dry locations; some Pro models offer damp/wet ratings for bathrooms or outdoors.
Light Output: 300–800 lumens per foot depending on density (30, 60, or 120 LEDs per meter). Equivalent to 40–60W incandescent but uses only 4–15W per foot for 80%+ energy savings.
Color Options:
Fixed: 2700K (warm white), 3000K (soft white), 4000K (cool white), or 5000K (daylight).
Tunable: Dim-to-warm (dims from 3000K to 1800K for cozy effects) or CCT selectable (2700K–5000K via switch/remote).
Multi-color: RGB+W variants for color-changing modes.
Dimmability and Controls:
RF remote included in Home kits for on/off, dimming (0–100%), and effects (e.g., fade, jump); controls up to 3 kits.
AC-dimmable models work with standard wall dimmers (TRIAC/ELV compatible).
Pro models support advanced controllers like Wi-Fi or DMX for smart home integration (e.g., Alexa/Google).
Efficiency and Durability: ENERGY STAR certified, 50,000-hour lifespan (L70), 90+ CRI for true color rendering. Low heat output; 12V DC (Pro) or 120V AC (Home) operation.
Kit Contents: Typically includes 16 ft strip, power supply/adapter, remote (Home models), connectors (2–5 for cuts/turns), mounting clips, and instructions. Pro kits may require separate power supplies.
Installation
Plug-and-play for Home kits: Peel adhesive backing, stick to clean surface, plug into outlet (or hardwire AC models). Cut strips to fit and reconnect with included clips—no soldering needed. Requires 12V power supply for Pro (sold separately). Full setup takes 15–30 minutes; compatible with aluminum channels for diffusion/protection. Safe for direct wire connections; avoid exceeding max run lengths (16–33 ft per power feed).
