What’s the big deal with LED strip lights anyway? Let’s be honest. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the beauty and aesthetics of our home lighting fixtures that we forget to add into our design the practical purposes of light. Not only does light allow us to see things clearly, but it also provides protection from the dangers hiding in the dark. We want to protect you and your family, so we offer lighting options and tips to help keep you safe.

Here’s what you need to know about LED strip lights:

LED strip lighting is an amazing technology that comes in different variations, but most have the same basic features: a continuous strip of thin and flexible LED lights on a flexible circuit board. They usually come on a reel or roll and can be adhered to almost any surface. Some options come with a fixed color and brightness while others allow for custom variations of both. Their safety comes from their low voltage power requirement and the versatility of adding lighting nearly anywhere that could be dangerous in the dark, offering additional safety for your loved ones at home.

In caring for seniors, ensuring an adequately lit living space can go a long way in preventing falls and other accidents. This is best done with motion-detecting lights that make it easy to light the space when someone enters. Falls are the leading cause of fatal injury and the most common cause of nonfatal trauma-related hospital admissions among older adults.  Approximately one in four U.S. residents aged 65 years (or older) report falling each year.

Adequate lighting is also important for accident-prone individuals such as infants and young children. When lighting a home for these individuals, it’s important to place the lighting in key locations, as lighting from the ceiling and walls may not reach certain areas.

It’s best to mount them in places where the strip itself can be hidden but the light can provide a nice effect. Many people like mounting them under or behind unique structures to highlight interesting shapes or features of furniture or designs that would otherwise be ignored. But remember, safety is the first priority!

Here are some of our favorite places to use LED strip lights:

Kitchen

With sharp objects and hot surfaces, the kitchen can be a dangerous place for anyone. Having adequate lighting from top to bottom will help prevent accidents and keep you safe. Add LED strips under your kitchen cabinets that meet the floor—this area is known as the toe kick. This kind of lighting looks especially great under a kitchen island and makes those midnight snack runs or middle of the night drinks far less dangerous.

Bathroom

Much like the kitchen, installing toe kick lights adds a really beautiful effect while illuminating an otherwise pitch black area. This lighting allows for a clear view of the floor and helps prevent toe bumps and even slips and falls on those half asleep trips to the bathroom.

Stairs

Accident-prone or not, stairs present a hazard in any home. One misstep can send grandparents, kids, and even the rest of us clumsy folk tumbling, so add LED strip lights to the front, back, or side edge of each step to light the way as you walk. This way, each step is clearly seen and cannot be missed.

Outdoors

With the right outdoor LED strip lights, you and your loved ones can enjoy the evenings with the confidence that you are protected from falls, burglars, and even unwanted pests. Place the lights around a central structure like a grill, or use multiple strips to illuminate the ceiling, posts, and steps of your patio.

Walls and Ceiling

The space where your wall and ceiling meet may not be very hidden per se, but is not immediately noticeable at first glance. By placing LED strip lights around this perimeter, you can essentially light the entirety of the room in a fairly discreet way.

Staying Safe

LED lighting is a life-changing invention for the vision-impaired. LED lights are bright while still being easy on the eyes and present a lower fire hazard than other lighting options. With such a high risk of falls among the elderly, and dangers lurking in every dark corner, lighting your home for safety and efficiency must be a priority. Quickly add an LED strip anywhere more light is needed and reduce the risk of accident for the people you care about.

With their flexibility and ability to illuminate long stretches of surfaces, LED strip lights are one of the most versatile lights available. Many LED strip lights – including Philips Hue indoor and outdoor lightstrips – can even provide light in a variety of colors, making them ideal for not only illuminating your home, but creating interesting aesthetics, setting the mood, and highlighting your home’s best features.

Smart LED strips take the flexibility of strip lighting to another level. With Philips Hue, for example, you don’t need to wire a special LED-strip-compatible dimmer switch to the wall or worry about reaching an on/off switch —all you need is an app, your voice, or a smart accessory to control the lights. 

Follow these tips from the experts to get the most out of your strip lighting.

LED strip lights make the perfect under-cabinet lighting in your kitchen, allowing you to light up your entire prepping surface in bright white light – or create a unique vibe with a vibrant color. Philips Hue lightstrips can be cut to size and mounted with the included 3M adhesive backing, which makes them incredibly easy to install. No drills or elbow grease needed.

Since LED strip lights dim on your command, you can create an even grander effect by lining the lower cabinets near the floor in your kitchen. Set the lights to a low glow, creating a relaxed atmosphere that’s just bright enough to guide you around the kitchen in the middle of the night for that midnight snack.

See how others use Philips Hue lightstrips in their kitchen:

With their adhesive backing, LED strip lights can be mounted onto almost any surface – including the backside of your TV or the inside of your entertainment center in the living room. With the LED strip light casting light against the wall behind the TV, you can create a beautiful outline of light. 

Bright idea: When you mount Philips Hue lightstrips around your TV or entertainment unit, you can create a surround lighting experience in your living room while you watch your favorite movies and TV shows. Watch the LED strip flash, brighten, dim, and change color in sync with the content on your screen using the Hue Sync app paired with a Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box. 

Under-stair LED lighting can be done in two ways – under each individual step or along the side of the entire staircase. The easier way is the latter since it involves far less measuring and cutting. Philips Hue lightstrips can be cut to size on designated markings but can also be extended with Philips Hue lightstrip extensions.

When you use LED strip lights along the side, you can either run the LED strip light along the base of the staircase cleverly hidden inside the trim or baseboard, or along the inside of the handrail. With smart LED strip lights, you can also add a motion sensor to make your lights turn on automatically as you walk by – especially helpful for those late-night trips down the stairs.

Use an outdoor LED strip light to line the railing of your balcony or porch. Attach the strip underneath the railing, running it along the length to hide the strip itself from view while casting light downwards onto the deck.

If your porch or balcony is covered, you can also mount the LED strip light along the underside of the roof, providing more overhead lighting. This not only allows you to illuminate a pathway or seating area, but it also lets you highlight the architecture of your home.

If you have flower beds around the perimeter of your outdoor space – or even just smaller flower beds scattered throughout your yard — you can illuminate them with LED strip lighting. As the sun sets, you can turn the lights on to cast complementary colors over them, highlighting your beautiful blooms and creating a unique lighting effect in your garden. Because the Philips Hue lightstrip features a waterproof design, it’s ideal for flower beds. 

To install outdoor LED strip lights around flower beds, place the strip light along the perimeter and tuck it slightly into the ground. Make sure that it’s evenly installed and no dirt is covering the light – though a little bit of grass does create an interesting shadow effect!
