Industry solution
Façade, cornice and roofline linear lighting for contractors
An architect wants a continuous light line on a cornice or roof edge that survives weather, is invisible by day, and is serviceable from a ladder.
What usually goes wrong here
- Water ingress on the roofline ends the strip in one season
- One tall run behaves differently along its length (voltage drop)
- Heat from the driver inside a sealed cornice void
- Facade guarantees from the lighting sub-contractor
Send us two things
- Run length per zone and the depth of the cove or reveal
- Mounting surface, viewing distance and target CCT
Reply includes strip spec, driver sizing and feed points.

What this solution is built from
Selection rules
These are the four decisions that decide whether the site accepts the installation.
| IP67 sleeve or fully potted IP68 for any run exposed to rain; IP65 for splash zones only | |
|---|---|
| Split long façade runs into <=5 m segments per feed, or use DC48V to halve drop | |
| Aluminum channel + heat sink is mandatory above 12 W/m | |
| Specify 3-year warranty and request batch sample before full shipment |
Installation notes
Leave a service loop at every accessible point — a burnt connector on a 20 m cornice becomes a demolition job if the strip cannot be pulled. Adhesive fails in the sun; use mechanical clips on external runs.
Send the façade elevation with run lengths — we size the segments and drivers for you.
We answer with a line-by-line spec you can forward to your installer without re-translating it.
