Category 06 / Kits
An under cabinet LED strip kit for up to 6 m and a stair kit for up to 14 treads, both on one driver at 80 %.
Two kits for people who would rather not build a parts list from scratch. Each one is 24 V strip, aluminium channel, opal diffuser, a driver sized at 80 % of its rating, feed leads and clips, already matched and counted. You still send us the measurements, because we cut to them. Quoted per kit in USD, by inquiry, shipped from Austin anywhere in the United States.
ZV-K-UC
Under cabinet LED strip kit, up to 6 m
The kitchen kit. COB LED strip 24 V at 10 W/m, so the line under the cabinets reads as one band with no dots on a glossy counter. It sits in P16 surface channel with the opal diffuser snapped in, and the channel clips to the underside of the wall cabinets. The driver goes in a ventilated void, usually above the cabinets or in the sink base, never sealed in a closed box.
Six metres at 10 W/m is 60 W. Divide by 0.8 and you need 75 W of driver, so the ZV-D100 carries it with room left. Most kitchens break into two or three runs around a range hood or a window. The kit has enough leads for three feed points and enough clips for the joins between them.
It suits a homeowner or a cabinet shop fitting one kitchen. It does not suit runs longer than 6 m. At that point we quote parts individually and look at a second driver or 48 V long-run strip.

ZV-K-ST
Stair tread kit, up to 14 treads
Short runs of P45 corner channel fixed under the nose of each tread, angled so the light washes down the riser below and nobody on the stairs looks straight into it. Each tread gets its own length of COB strip and its own lead back to one driver. Fourteen treads covers a straight flight in most houses.
The driver arithmetic depends on tread width, which is why we ask for it. Fourteen treads at 0.8 m of strip each is 11.2 m, and at 10 W/m that is 112 W. Divided by 0.8 you need 140 W, so the kit ships with a 150 W driver. Narrower treads come in lower. Wider ones, or more than 14, and we split the flight across two drivers rather than push one past 80 %.
Stairs are the job where feed length bites. The top tread can sit 4 m or more from a driver at the bottom. We check every lead against the 3 % limit and mark the ones that need heavier wire on the sheet. The gauge table shows the limits.

Kit or loose parts
A kit is the same parts as the catalogue, counted for a known job. If your job is not that job, loose parts are cheaper than modifying a kit.

What people ask before ordering a kit
My kitchen run is 7.2 m. Can I stretch the kit?
No. 7.2 m at 10 W/m is 72 W, which needs a 90 W driver by the 80 % rule. The 100 W unit still works, but the kit's leads and channel are counted for 6 m. We quote that job as loose parts on its own sheet.
Can I swap the COB strip for the brighter SMD strip?
Yes, and the driver arithmetic changes. 6 m of 14.4 W/m strip is 86.4 W, past the 80 W working load of the 100 W driver, so the kit moves to the 150 W unit. We re-run the sheet and requote.
Do you install the kits?
No. We sell and match parts. Fitting is yours or your electrician's. Mains wiring to the driver belongs to a licensed electrician.
Who should skip the kits?
Anyone lighting a ceiling cove or a long hallway. Those want plaster-in channel or 48 V strip, which neither kit has. Trade buyers doing several kitchens a month usually do better on repeat parts lists.
