At 2.45 metres it covers most standard wall panel modules in one piece, and every join you avoid is a place the light line cannot break. Aluminium also pulls heat away from the tape, so strip run inside the channel holds its brightness longer than strip stuck to bare MDF or plasterboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions buyers ask\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does the black cover cost compared with an opal one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMore than most people expect — a black diffuser is tuned to hide the fitting, not to pass light.

The internal channel is 10.2mm, which gives a 10mm tape just enough clearance for its adhesive backing.
