Exciting Applications for LED Tape That Will Maximize Any Interior
Instructor: Jeffrey R. Dross
Wednesday, Jan. 11 | 3 - 4 p.m.

IDCEC Certified - Class Code Coming Soon

We need functional lighting to perform a task and illuminate a space. However, the type of lighting that delivers the most visual impact is non-functional accent or decorative lighting. Architectural detail lighting can enliven a space and set a room apart. Accent lighting can draw attention to the nuances of the room, give it greater perceptible size, and make it the envy of all who see it. Architectural detail lighting is small, but its impact packs a visual punch.

Today, that type of architectural detail lighting can also be provided by LED tape. This functional and flexible light source continues to grow in use and importance. In this session, we will look at multiple types of applications with tips and suggestions for installation included. After attending this session, specifiying and employing LED tape and the assorted channels on the market will be substantially easier.
