Yes.
Its bright 6500K appearance can work well where customers want crisp task lighting around kitchen worktops, cabinets or utility areas.
Customers preferring a warmer kitchen atmosphere may prefer the 3000K or 4000K versions instead.
Is 6500K better than 4000K for a kitchen?
Neither is universally better.
4000K provides a more neutral white appearance, while 6500K is noticeably cooler and brighter-looking.
6500K is particularly useful where a crisp daylight-style task light is preferred.
Is Aurora AU-ST100/65 suitable for under-cabinet lighting?
Yes.
The combination of an 8mm PCB, self-adhesive backing and 550lm/m output makes it suitable for many under-cabinet installations.
A suitable profile and diffuser can provide a cleaner finished appearance.
Is Aurora AU-ST100/65 dimmable?
It can form part of a dimmable system when paired with an appropriate 24V dimmable constant-voltage driver and compatible controls.
What driver does Aurora AU-ST100/65 need?
The strip requires a 24V constant-voltage LED driver.
The driver wattage should be calculated according to the installed strip length.
What driver do I need for 1 metre of AU-ST100/65?
One metre consumes approximately 4.8W.
Use a compatible 24V driver with sufficient capacity above the connected load.
What driver do I need for 5 metres?
Five metres consumes:
5 x 4.8W = 24W
A compatible 24V driver with suitable capacity above the 24W load should be selected.
