3 Recommended tones
As for the different shades that can be chosen, the most appropriate option are natural blank tones (4000 - 4500 k) or cold white (6000 - 6500 k).

How well is known, LED strips should be performed on metal parts either aluminum or other material that helps heat dissipation and to which the useful life of the strips is not affected. In addition, the protection of LED strips must be taken into account. For the installation of LED strips on shelves, protection indices such as IP20, IP25 or IP33 are recommended. Therefore, these types of strips are usually installed in aluminum profiles that help us when dissipation of heat generated and blur the light provided by LED strips.
