Precision vs Pro: LED Strip Lights Designed for Every Detail
When lighting defines how a space feels, or how a scene looks on camera, every lumen, tone, and shadow matters.
That’s why Ultra LEDs has launched two new professional-grade LED strip ranges: the Precision Series and the Pro Series.
Each is engineered for a different kind of professional, because one solution never fits all when it comes to light quality.
Whether it’s a film set, retail display, or bespoke interior, here’s how to choose the right range for your next project.
Precision Series: Built for Perfectionists
When colour accuracy and control are non-negotiable, the Precision Series delivers. Designed for film, television, galleries, and high-end retail, it provides studio-grade output that meets the demands of visual precision.
Key Highlights
- CRI 95+ for exceptional colour fidelity
- Up to 2400lm/m output
- 240+ LEDs per metre for seamless, dot-free output
- TLCI-rated single-colour white options ensure suitability for television production environments
- Single BIN colour consistency (SDCM < 3)
- 7-year warranty
- Available in IP20 and IP67 options
Why It Matters
Lighting in colour-critical environments demands accuracy and smooth gradation. With a CRI above 95, Precision tape reproduces hues as they appear in natural light, essential for art, retail, and film applications where colour and texture must remain true.
Tight Single BIN control ensures every batch matches, giving designers and DOPs confidence that their entire setup will appear uniform from start to finish.
“For film and broadcast, lighting consistency is everything,”
“The Precision range was created so professionals can light a set once and trust it shot after shot, with no colour drift and no visible stepping. Just balanced, accurate illumination.”
– Dave Stirling, Account Specialist for TV, Film & Theatre at Ultra LEDs
Ideal Applications
- Cinematography and broadcast studios
- Set and scenic design
- Art galleries and museums
- Luxury retail fit-outs
- Design-led residential projects

Pro Series: Built for Professionals Who Need Reliability
Not every project requires ultra-high CRI, but every installation demands reliability. The Pro Series offers a robust, efficient, and versatile option for trade professionals, shopfitters, and commercial installers who value durability and ease of integration.
Key Highlights
CRI 90+ for balanced, accurate light
- Up to 1900 lumens per metre
- 120+ LEDs per metre
- 5–7 year warranty
- Available in Single Colour, CCT, RGBW, and RGBCCT options

Why It Matters
Pro Series strips use long-life components and efficient LED chips to provide dependable brightness and smooth dimming across extended runs.
They are ideal for repeatable installations where performance and practicality must align.
Ideal Applications
- Joinery and cabinet lighting
- Retail and hospitality environments
- Commercial and office spaces
- Stage and set work
- Everyday trade installations
“These launches mark a real step forward for our strip-light portfolio.”
“Precision and Pro give professionals a clear choice between ultimate performance and everyday practicality, both backed by long warranties, consistent quality, and our in-house expertise.”
– Lauren Andrews, Buyer at Ultra LEDs.
