Your LED Setup in 5 Simple Steps
Step 1
Envision It
First, determine the right kind of light for your project. Are you lighting your kitchen from early breakfast to late-night snacks? Or setting the mood on your patio for evening get-togethers? We’ve got long-lasting lights for the job!
Consider how bright you want it to be, the colors you need, and whether it will be exposed to the weather.

Step 2
Control It
There are many ways to control your lighting. You can choose a remote, a wall dimmer switch, a sensor, or even a convenient, one-stop system like our Leona® Smart Home. It all depends on the lights you selected.
If you’re using single-color lights, a traditional dimmer switch like Lutron® or Leviton® is a great choice. Just make sure your setup includes a dimmable LED driver and a compatible dimmer switch.
Step 3
Power It
Most LED strip lights use low-voltage power, which means you’ll need a power supply (also called a driver) for them to work. For simple DIY setups, a plug-in driver is the easiest choice. For a more advanced, heavy-duty install, go with a hardwired option.
Just make sure your power supply matches your LED lights in both voltage and wattage, and that it’s rated for your specific space, whether indoors or outdoors. You’ll find this info in your product’s specs and user guide, as well as right on our site when you’re ready to order.

Connect It
