Seamless gradient
48 LED/m behind a silicone body blends into one continuous glow, so the wall shows a soft fade rather than a row of dots.
Nucleo · NLSW-1616
Soft, Even Light That Follows Every Curve
A 16×16 mm silicone wall washer with a 30° grazing beam. It lays a smooth gradient over stone, plaster and brick, then bends around columns and curved walls without a break.

Why it works
The Angle Does the Work, Not the Wattage
Walls look flat when light hits them head-on. The NLSW-1616 sits a short distance from the surface and sends a narrow 30° beam across it, so every joint, grain and ripple casts a small shadow the eye can read.
Because the body is silicone, one product handles the straight parapet, the sweeping partition and the round column. 48 LED/m behind the diffuse body keeps the gradient continuous, indoors or out.
Mock up before you fix
Hold a short length at 50–150 mm from the finished wall and look at it at night. The gradient depth changes quickly with distance, so settle it before the full run goes up.
Keep the line straight
A strip that wanders in and out from the wall shows as uneven brightness. Fix it in a continuous channel or clip line at constant spacing.

Built for the Way Walls Are Actually Lit
30° grazing beam
A narrow beam stays on the wall face instead of flooding the room, lifting texture on plaster, stone and brick.
Bends in three planes
Side bends, up-down bends and twists let a single run follow curves, columns and stair nosings.
IP67 sealed body
Dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion for exposed facades, canopies and wet areas.
Slim 16 × 16 mm profile
A compact section hides in coves, shadow gaps and parapet returns where bulky fixtures cannot go.
Efficient 24V system
Runs at 24V DC and 18 W/m, which keeps cable sizes sensible and runs predictable.
Two colour temperatures
3000K for warm materials and 4000K for cleaner, neutral surfaces.
Cut-and-fit reels
Supplied in 5 m reels so lengths can be planned to the metre and fitted on site.

FAQ
Installation and Specification Questions
It throws a defined 30° beam along a surface instead of spreading light in all directions. Mounted close to a wall, it produces a graded wash that is brightest near the strip and fades smoothly, which is what makes plaster, stone and brick texture readable.
Indoors, 50–150 mm from the wall face is typical. Closer gives a tight, dramatic gradient on textured finishes; further gives a broader, softer wash on smooth plaster. Outdoor facades often use 200–400 mm depending on wall height. Always mock up a short length first.
It bends sideways, up and down, and twists, so it follows curved walls, column wraps and stair edges. Keep bends gradual with a generous radius and avoid sharp folds or kinks, which stress the body and show as uneven light.
Yes. The body is IP67 rated, which means dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion. Keep the driver in a dry, ventilated enclosure and seal cut ends and joints with the correct end caps and waterproof connectors.
The strip draws 18 W/m, so a 5 m reel is 90 W. Use a 24V constant-voltage driver rated at least 100 W. For several reels, add the wattage and keep about 20% spare capacity.
Choose 3000K for warm materials such as sandstone, timber and brick, and for hospitality and residential spaces. Choose 4000K for concrete, white or grey paint, offices and commercial frontages where a cleaner light suits better.
Feed power from both ends of long runs, or split the run into sections with separate feeds. Use adequately sized low-voltage cable between driver and strip, and keep the driver as close to the run as practical.
The strip is a standard 24V constant-voltage load, so dimming depends on the driver. Pair it with a compatible dimmable 24V driver, such as a triac, 0-10V or DALI model.
