Places you didn't think to use LED strip

There are plenty of small, often overlooked areas around the home where a bit of well-placed light can make things easier to use, more comfortable at night, and just feel better overall.

Some setups are simple and DIY-friendly, while others may require an electrician — but either way, the end result is a cleaner, more considered way to light your space.

Home office lighting

Make your workspace feel like a place you actually want to sit in.

Add LED strip under shelves or along the back of your desk to reduce eye strain and create a clean, even light while you work. It’s a simple upgrade that makes long hours feel a lot more comfortable.

Stick with a static colour for a clean, focused setup, or opt for RGB / RGBCW for something more playful.

Garage Workbench & Shelving

Proper lighting where you actually need it.
LED strip under shelves gives you clean, even light across your workbench, making it easier to see what you’re doing without relying on a single overhead globe.

Whether you're working on tools, small parts or weekend projects, it helps you work more accurately and comfortably without fighting shadows.


Driveways & Pathways

Subtle lighting that guides the way.

LED strip along driveways or garden edges gives you a clean, low-level light that improves visibility at night without flooding the area. It helps define the space, making it easier to navigate while adding a sharp, modern finish to the exterior.

Especially useful for homes in bushland or rural locations, where lighting can make a big difference when arriving or moving around at night.


TV Units & Living Room

A simple strip of light under your cabinetry can completely change how the room feels at night.

Softer, cleaner, and far more comfortable than overhead lighting. Instead of relying on harsh ceiling lights, this creates a low-level ambient light that’s easier on the eyes, especially when watching TV or winding down.
