110V LED Strip Light and Rope Light for construction sites
LED Strip Light and LED Rope Light are two names for the same thing: a continuous run of LEDs in a flexible IP65 sleeve that gives an even line of light with no dark gaps. Ours is 110V for UK construction sites, in 25m and 50m reels giving 780 lumens per metre, or 1,200 lumens per metre on the super bright version, and an emergency battery pack keeps it lit for up to 3 hours in a power cut.
One product, many names
On site you'll hear it called LED Rope Light, LED Strip Light, Strip Lighting, 110V Strip Light, temporary Strip Lighting, site Strip Light or tape light. They all mean the same kit: LEDs mounted every few millimetres inside a flexible, sealed sleeve, on a reel, with a 16A plug on the end.

All three reels run on 110V from a Site Transformer and have a yellow 16A plug. The standard reels (137890 and 138162) link together up to 100m and are wired on arctic grade cable. The super bright reel is wired in parallel, so if one LED fails the rest stay lit, and is rated from -20°C to +45°C.
Where Strip Light beats other Site Lighting
- Stairwells: run it along the handrail so every step is lit. See how to light a stairwell.
- Corridors and data halls: even light end to end, with none of the pools and shadows you get between Festoon heads. See data centre temporary lighting.
- Scaffolds, decks and large open floors: the super bright 180 LED reel.

How much can I run from one supply?
The standard reels link up to 100m. At 5.5W per metre, 100m draws about 550W, roughly 5A at 110V, well inside a 16A outlet. The super bright reel draws 12W per metre, about 600W per 50m reel, so add up what's on each outlet and keep within 16A and the transformer's rating. Our transformer calculator does the sums.
Emergency Strip Light
Plug the 138223 emergency battery pack in line and the Strip Light keeps running for up to 3 hours at reduced brightness when the mains fails. One pack backs up to 100m of Rope Light: two standard 50m reels plugged together, or 100m of the super bright Rope Light, which is wired in parallel. Full details are in emergency 110V Rope Light and Strip Light.
