Use corner pro昀椀le for angling the strip at 45º to a surface, particularly useful

for lighting shelves, inside wardrobes and over kitchen worktops

Multiply the total number of metres of strip to be run from a single driver
by the wattage of the strip and then add 10% e.g. 16m of 4.8W/m strip
plus 10% = 85W

Decide if your circuit needs to be dimmable

Select the driver e.g. dimmable LST-DRD120, non-dimmable LST-DR100
