12 V and 24 V strips look alike but behave differently. The main difference is voltage drop: the longer the run, the more the light dims toward the end. A 24 V strip is steadier here, so it is preferable for long lines — a hallway, a ceiling cornice, the whole perimeter of a kitchen.
A 12 V strip suits short runs and cases where the supply is already 12 V (inside furniture, in a vehicle). For short lengths up to 5 metres, both work well.
Either way, feed a long line from both ends or split it into sections so the brightness stays even. The Electrica Group catalogue carries both 12 V and 24 V strips with matching power supplies, and we will help you pick the right one for your space — the "For Long Life" way.
