✅ All lights run on 24V, which ensures energy efficiency and safety.
✅ IP65-rated means they're dust-tight and water-resistant—safe for both indoor and outdoor use.
🎯 Understanding Bend Types
Choosing the right bend type ensures the light fits the form of your space:
-
🔄 Front Bend: Light emits from the flat front surface (great for signage, surface outlines, linear installations).
-
➡️ Side Bend: Light emits from the narrow side (ideal for curving around walls, corners, ceilings).
-
⬇️ Back Bend (not in current SKUs but helpful info): Light glows downward—used for cove or under-cabinet lighting.
💡 Pro Tip: Use front bend for directional visibility and side bend for smooth curves or outlining shapes.
📐 Choosing the Right Size
Size directly impacts light output, flexibility, and aesthetic presence.
