LED lighting: Tape and foil for optimal light output

Due to its low energy consumption and long life span, LED lighting is the future. Disadvantages are the poor heat dissipation and lower light output, but Tapir Tapes has some good solutions for this available in house.

Tapes for energy reduction

The lifespan of LED lighting can be negatively affected by the poor heat dissipation of an LED. Tapir Tapes therefore has various types of 3M thermal conductive tapes in its range, which dissipate heat at the same time as attaching an LED. 

Attaching light fixtures and light boxes

Tapir Tapes has various constructional solutions for attaching LED light fittings and light boxes, both indoors and outdoors. Choose a permanent attachment in the form of a tape or adhesive or a resealable attachment thanks to Dual lock.

Foils for optimum light output

By means of a special 'mirror foil' affixed to the inside of a light fitting, it is possible to control and increase the light output of LED lighting. This results in a light reflection of no less than 99%, offering unprecedented opportunities, especially for lighting designers.
