Tapelight Design Guidelines

Design Guidelines

Step 1: Select Series

TLP Series

TLP Series has set an industry standard for interior accent lighting since its introduction. Lamp sockets are soldered and bonded to highly flexible PVC cables for long-term reliability, and fixtures can be trimmed on site for a precise fit. In exposed applications, TLP Tapelight highlights architectural features with distinct points of light. As an indirect light source from concealed areas, it produces stylish and subtle accents on reflective surfaces.

LS Series

LS Series Tapelight is the ideal choice for exterior applications and projects with heavier loads. UV-stabilized cables with larger conductors extend operating life and minimize voltage drop. These features offer many benefits in large-scale perimeter lighting and in indirect applications with closer socket spacing.

TLW Series

Nothing adds interest to an environment like an eye-catching display of colorful and animated lighting. TLW Series provides four-channel chasing effects with LEDs or BB-301 Bi-Bulb® incandescent lamps. With the introduction of TokiLeds, lighting designers now have even more choices in creating such stunning effects.Tokistar’s TLW Series uses three wires instead of five to achieve a perfectly linear placement of light sources.

Step 2: Select Light Source

TokiLeds®

TokiLeds are durable, energy efficient and cost effective. Their unique phosphor-coated lens reflects light in all directions, resulting in full-range viewing. White TokiLeds do an outstanding job of emulating true incandescent light. Our selection includes a variety of color temperatures and brightness levels. TokiLeds are also available in a wide range of vibrant colors.

Kinetic TokiLeds®

Kinetic TokiLeds include a microchip to create self-actuated flashing, cross-fading or strobing effects. Each LED operates independently for a totally random appearance. These LEDs do not require a controller, adding to the system’s cost efficiency and reliability. Kinetic Tokileds may also be mixed with other Tokileds on the same fixture to create a background of static light.

P4 LEDs

P4 Series LEDs do a remarkable job of indirect lighting by focusing a more concentrated amount of light on the reflective surface. For interior applications of indirect lighting, our P4 LEDs are both energy efficient and cost effective.

Step 2: Select Socket Spacing

After selecting the most suitable light source for the application, the next step is to select the appropriate socket spacing. For indirect applications, closer spacing provides the most uniform wash of light. Intermediate and more distant socket spacing is the best choice for accenting objects with distinct points of light.
