Unique Tape Lighting Applications


Shine in unexpected ways with tape lights. Contrary to chandeliers and pendant lights, the tape itself, particularly when installed with channels, is tucked out of view, but creates a stunning lighting effect. Light designed with tape and installed with channels feel as if light is emanating from a hidden location, casting an ambient glow from unique angles. And there are so many ways you can use them.
