Industry solution
Cove, shelf and shopfront lighting for retail fit-outs
A shop fit-out team needs a bright, even light line inside a shallow coves and under shelves, without visible dots reflected in glossy product packaging or glass.
What usually goes wrong here
- Dotting shows up on mirrors, glass and glossy packaging
- coves are narrower than 30 mm — the strip must fit
- Racks have to be re-shelved; the strip must be cut in place, not pre-cut
- Different Shop brands want different warmth (warm retail vs cool supermarket)
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.

Selection rules
These are the four decisions that decide whether the site accepts the installation.
| Board width | 8 mm or 10 mm for 30 mm cove; 5 mm only for tight reveal or cabinet |
|---|---|
| LEDs/m | 480 COB for dot-free close viewing; 120-160 SMD for general shelf wash |
| CRI | Ra90 minimum for retail, Ra95+ for fashion, jewellery and cosmetics |
| Voltage | DC24V keeps voltage drop manageable on 5 m drops from one power feed |
Installation notes
Fix with 10 mm double-sided tape on clean, dust-free surface, or clip into aluminium channel. Feed power at the middle of long runs so both tails stay under 2.5 m — that removes visible end-darkening on camera footage.
Send us your cove/shelf dimensions and target brightness — we return a strip spec in 24h.
We answer with a line-by-line spec you can forward to your installer without re-translating it.
