GM Lighting LTR-S-HO — Specification Series High-Output LED Tape Light, 8W/ft, 24V

When a project demands the best optics in the industry, the GM Lighting LTR-S-HO Specification Series is the answer. Delivering over 1,000 lumens per foot at 8.0W/ft, 90+ CRI, and a 120° viewing angle, it’s built for architectural-grade cove, soffit, and task lighting where performance and light quality are non-negotiable. Available in four CCTs from 2700K to 4000K, in 98’-6” reels or custom factory-cut lengths.

Important: The LTR-S-HO must be installed in a compatible aluminum mounting channel rated for 140°F minimum for proper thermal management. Installation without an approved channel will void the warranty.

Power & Driver Sizing

Requires a 24VDC LED driver (sold separately). Formula: run length (ft) × 8.0W/ft ÷ 0.80 = minimum driver wattage. For a full 12ft run: 12 × 8.0 ÷ 0.80 = 120W minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the LTR-S-HO require an aluminum mounting channel?

At 8.0W/ft, the LTR-S-HO generates significant heat that must be properly dissipated to maintain LED performance and rated life. GM Lighting requires installation in a compatible aluminum mounting channel rated for 140°F minimum. Installing without an approved channel will void the warranty and can shorten the tape’s rated lifespan. Compatible channels include the LED-CHL-XD (Extra Deep, 4ft or 6ft) and LED-CHL-XD-F (Extra Deep Flanged, 4ft or 6ft), both of which include a frosted snap-on lens, mounting clips, and screws.

What is the maximum run length and how do I cut the LTR-S-HO?

The maximum continuous run is 12ft per power lead. The tape is cuttable every 2” (every 8 LEDs) at marked cut points. For installations requiring longer total runs, use multiple power feeds with separate driver outputs — one per 12ft zone. Custom factory-cut lengths are available (consult factory). Each factory-cut length ships with a 48” soldered lead.

What power supply do I need for the LTR-S-HO?

The LTR-S-HO requires a 24VDC LED driver. At 8.0W/ft with a 12ft max run: 12 × 8.0 ÷ 0.80 = 120W minimum. GM Lighting recommends the LD-XD-UNV (LineDrive Electronic Multi-Dimmable, up to 300W) or the SWD-100W-24VDC-DIM (SwitchLD All-in-One Dimmer and Driver, 100W) for full-run installations. A GM Lighting power supply is required to qualify for the 5-year warranty.

Is the LTR-S-HO Title 24 compliant?

Yes — the LTR-S-HO is Title 24 compliant when used with specific GM Lighting drivers. Title 24 compliance requires pairing with a qualified driver; consult the GM Lighting factory or your sales representative to confirm the correct driver for your project’s Title 24 requirements before specifying.

Is the LTR-S-HO compatible with smart dimming and WiFi controls?

Yes — the LTR-S-HO is compatible with the LUXcontrol Smart 2.4 GHz WiFi system, including the SHWC (WiFi Controller) and SHWD (WiFi Dimmer) for wireless scene control and dimming. It is also compatible with the HC-RF-UNV-5CH (Universal RF Remote), CM-RF-UNV-5CH (RF Control Module), and RPT-UNV-5CH (Repeater Amplifier) for 1–5 channel RF control installations.
