What's the difference between a linear LED fixture and LED tape light?

A linear LED fixture is a rigid, complete luminaire with the LEDs, driver, and housing built in — it mounts and wires like any fixture. LED tape light is a flexible circuit board that needs a separate driver and usually an aluminum channel. Fixtures suit exposed runs; tape suits concealed detail.

  • Linear fixture — rigid luminaire, integrated driver — exposed suspended, recessed, or surface runs
  • LED tape — flexible board, external driver and channel — concealed coves, shelves, and millwork

What are the mounting options for linear lighting?

Architectural linear fixtures install four main ways. Suspended fixtures hang on cables for direct-indirect light. Recessed fixtures sit flush in the ceiling. Surface-mount fixtures attach directly to the ceiling or wall. Wall-mount and cove options wash light along a surface.

How do you create a continuous run of linear lighting?

Linear fixtures join end to end with mechanical couplers and through-wiring to form a seamless line. Order linkable runs by total length, then connect sections with the supplied joiners. A single driver or feed often powers multiple linked sections up to its rated load.

What's the difference between LED tape and LED strip light?

The terms overlap, but density and grade differ. LED tape packs more LEDs per foot for even, dot-free light and commercial-grade output. COB tape uses a continuous diode strip for zero visible dots. Consumer LED strip runs lower density and is often RGB color-changing rather than fixed white.

Does linear lighting need a separate driver?

It depends on the product. Architectural linear fixtures include an integrated driver and wire to line voltage. LED tape light needs an external low-voltage driver matched to its 12V or 24V rating and total wattage. Confirm the driver's output voltage and load before powering a run.

Powering a tape run? Match it to a low-voltage unit in LED Drivers & Power Supplies or a magnetic unit in Transformers. For kitchen and millwork detail, see the dedicated Under Cabinet Lighting range.
