But how to bring the power to the location of the light source? In the case of 230V light bulbs there was always quite a thick wire with good insulation necessary.
An LED lighting is operated at low voltages (usually under 12V) and must have only a functional isolation. This means, that a short circuit must be avoided mechanically.
Copper tapes of CMC Klebetechnik provide an ideal opportunity to carry the power with minimum space requirements. They are extremely flexible concerning the installation, for the copper tape can be hidden behind blinds, around corners and edges. Two lines, affixed with a little gap allows the conduction of enough power to operate even larger LED arrays. With safe isolation of the lines from each other.
The standard version of such conductors is a copper tape (CMC 91100) made of high quality electrolytic copper with an age-resistant acrylic adhesive. For harsher conditions (such as bathroom furniture), there is CMC 91815, a double-sided, tin-plated copper tape with a silvery surface. Even the power transmission to moving components is achieved with an appropriate construction.
Copper tapes can be an innovative, clever solution in many places, to transport electricity with minimum space requirements. Even an "under-the- wallpaper" installation is conceivable. Thanks to the self adhesive backing no additional fixing material or tools are needed. For more information, see www.cmc.de.
