Not all permanent lighting systems are built the same. With our hands-on experience, installs, and testing, these are the three systems we most often recommend and how they compare.

| Density | 60 LEDS Per 100ft | 72 LEDS Per 100ft | 72 LEDS Per 100ft |
đź’ˇBrightness per node and color range define how dramatic (or soft) your lighting can be year-round.
