Discuss Led tape driver in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

We have nearly 300m of this crap being installed at the moment, colour and brightness consistency across the 12 zones was a big concern.

We were advised by the manufacturer that anything over 8m will start to fade at the end of the tape as the voltage drops.

As a result we have run a feed every 5m back to the driver to ensure consistency within each zone and then each zone is individually dimmed to ballance the zones.

Personally I don't think it would be that noticeable but the customer is insistent.

Assuming you're using a dimmable tape/driver then why not use a dimmer?
 
I don’t envy you fighting with 300m of it !
I’ve never seen that type of dimmer before but I much prefer it to the Mickey Mouse remote ones. Biggest hassle with all this stuff is finding brands you trust . Never heard of most of them and if you find something decent then it’s vanished next time you look.
Thanks for the reply
