Novalux LED strips: when should you use them?
LED strips are one of the most versatile and high-performance solutions in the world of technical lighting.
Novalux’s lighting projects feature hundreds of kilometres of LED strips every year! A product that guarantees quality, reliability and maximum creative freedom.
Novalux, a brand active since 1948, synonymous with experience, innovation and ongoing support, offers products covered by a warranty of up to 5 years (applicable only when using Novalux heat sink profiles and power supplies, which guarantee safety and usability).
What are LED strips
LED strips are flexible lighting solutions consisting of light sources arranged along a continuous line. They can be installed directly or integrated into aluminium heat sink profiles, which ensure:
- Optimal heat dissipation
- Longer LED lifespan
- A clean, professional aesthetic finish
Novalux LED strips stand out for their wide range of configurations, including:
- 24V, 48V and 230V LED strips
- RGB and RGBW versions
- Tunable White solutions for adjusting colour temperature
The complete Novalux system
One of Novalux’s key strengths is its complete system approach. It is not simply a matter of LED strips, but of an ecosystem designed to guarantee performance and reliability over time.
The system includes:
- Dedicated aluminium heat sink profiles
- Compatible, high-performance power supplies
- Advanced management and control systems
This integration enables the creation of coherent, safe and perfectly optimised lighting systems.
The importance of heat dissipation
To ensure consistent performance and a long service life, heat dissipation is a fundamental element. LED strips must be installed on heat sink profiles from the Novalux catalogue, designed to prevent overheating and LED degradation.
For this reason, the warranty of up to 5 years is valid only if the strips are correctly installed on these profiles and connected to Novalux power supplies, thus ensuring reliability and long-term performance.
