24V, 48V or AC220V: choosing a feed for long runs

Feed length, driver location and cut interval move together. A short comparison of the three options in the catalogue.

12V and 24V reels keep the driver remote and the strip safe to handle. They are the right default for cabinet and cove work, where runs stay inside 5 m to 10 m and the driver can sit in an accessible void.

48V board options hold output across a 20 m single-end feed, which is usually where a 24V layout would need a second feed point and a cable route through the ceiling.

AC 220V and AC 110–220V strips take mains directly, so no driver is needed at all — at the cost of a longer cut interval (83.33 mm to 500 mm) and Ra > 80 rather than Ra > 90 on the white range.
