Play Area

The specification for lighting a children's play area was that the LED strip could be controlled by a remote and have the ability to change colour in cycles.

I selected this 100.160 RGB colour changing LED tape light that is perfect lighting for play areas as it has a wealth of benefits.

Silicone Casing

This makes this the perfect choice for this installation as the strip has a silicone casing that provides a protective layer.

The silicone casing ensures that the strip is rated IP67. Ingress protection rating indicates how protected the product is against solid objects and water. The 6 means that the strip is protected from dust and therefore touching while the 7 indicates that it is protected against water when immersed temporarily in depths from 15cm to 1m.

The protective layer ensures that the strip is protected from touching and handling. This is important in a children's play area as children are likely to touch them. It also eliminates the need to tell multiple groups of infants to handle the lights with care, which standard strip lights that don't have the silicone casing would require.

Energy Efficient

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are a wonderfully energy efficient lighting solution. This makes LED lighting technology the perfect alternative to traditional lighting fixtures such as halogen. This is due to the fact that LED lights use less power as well as wasting less energy.

LED lights waste less energy because they do not create as much heat, and therefore most of the power is being transformed into light.

The LED lights will also offer a longer life span meaning that the LED lights will not need replacing regularly. This is therefore a wonderful way of lighting any space while saving money.

The fact that LED strips do not emit as much heat as traditional alternatives means that they are safer for children to be around. They will be able to touch the lights without burning themselves which is important as children are curious and are likely to touch the lights.

Colour

The dimmable flexible LED strip lights offer 3 different diodes on the LED chip that can combine. This enables you to create over 16 million different colour variations as well as brightness control.

This is perfect for children's rooms as unique and interesting colour combinations can be achieved to intrigue and captivate the children.

Lighting Effects

The colour changing ability can be utilized using pre-programmed modes that will automatically cycle through the colours in a bespoke and interesting way. The speed of the cycles can also be adjusted which enables complete control over the lighting design of the space.

Control

The lighting controls for the strip lights are effortless to use. They can be controlled by RF wall panels or handsets that enable full control over the lights. Create custom colours and lighting effects easily.

Light Quality

The strip lights emit a powerful bright light that will illuminate the room well. This provides greater visibility which is vital in a child's play area to highlight trip hazards which are common.

Easy Installation

Pre-soldered tails on both ends of the strip ensure that it is extremally easy to install.

The strip also features a high quality self adhesive backing that makes sticking the strip to the required surface effortless. The strips won't droop or come off easily but fixing clips also ensure security of the installation.

The installation went ahead that same week and the customer was extremely happy!
