Ovia's current installation documentation confirms the exact OV18145WW20 as a 24V DC, 14.4W/m, 3000K, IP20 LED strip supplied on a 5m reel.
3000K Warm White Illumination
The OV18145WW20 produces a 3000K warm white light, providing a comfortable and inviting appearance suitable for both residential and commercial interiors.
Warm white works particularly well in kitchens, living areas, restaurants, hotels, reception spaces and retail environments where a softer atmosphere is preferred over the cooler appearance of 4000K lighting.
High 1340lm/m Light Output
Despite its compact strip format, the OV18145WW20 delivers a typical luminous flux of 1340 lumens per metre.
Combined with a rated efficacy of 93lm/W, this gives the strip sufficient output for applications extending beyond purely decorative accent lighting.
Across a full 5m reel, this corresponds to a nominal total output of approximately 6700 lumens, subject to the installation and operating conditions.
14.4W per Metre
The strip consumes 14.4W per metre, providing a good balance between output and energy efficiency.
A complete 5m reel therefore represents a nominal connected load of 72W. A suitably rated 24V constant-voltage LED driver should be selected according to the installed length and required design allowance.
24V DC Operation
The Inceptor Intense OV18145WW20 operates from a 24V DC supply and requires an appropriate constant-voltage LED driver.
It should not be connected directly to a 230V mains supply.
The 24V format makes the strip suitable for professional low-voltage LED installations and provides compatibility with appropriately rated Ovia power and control equipment.
Slim 10mm LED Strip
At just 10mm wide, the OV18145WW20 can be incorporated into suitably sized LED profiles, channels, furniture details and architectural features.
Published dimensions for the strip are approximately 5000mm long x 10mm wide x 1mm deep.
Its compact dimensions make it useful where a discreet light source is required.
Cuttable Every 50mm
The strip can be cut at 50mm intervals, providing excellent flexibility when adapting it to individual installation lengths.
Cuts should only be made at the designated cut marks on the LED strip.
The short cutting interval makes the OV18145WW20 particularly useful for cabinetry, shelves and architectural details where precise finished lengths may be required.
Wide 120° Beam Angle
A 120° beam angle provides broad light distribution, helping spread illumination smoothly across adjacent surfaces.
This makes the strip well suited to indirect and concealed-lighting applications, particularly when installed beneath cabinets, inside coves or within suitable aluminium LED profiles.
CRI Above 80
The warm-white LEDs have a colour rendering index greater than 80, providing suitable colour reproduction for general residential and commercial applications.
This makes the strip appropriate for spaces where both atmosphere and practical illumination are important.
3M Adhesive Backing
The OV18145WW20 is supplied with 3M adhesive tape, helping simplify mounting onto an appropriate clean, dry and suitably prepared surface.
For professional installations, consideration should also be given to thermal management and the use of a suitable LED profile where required by the application.
IP20 Rated
The OV18145WW20 carries an IP20 rating and is designed for appropriate dry indoor environments.
Where greater ingress protection is required, an appropriately rated IP65 version from the Inceptor Intense family should be selected.
36,000-Hour LED Lifetime
Ovia specifies an L70 LED lifetime of 36,000 hours, providing dependable long-term performance for professionally installed lighting projects.
Compatible Ovia IP20 Accessories
Ovia provides dedicated accessories for its 14.4W/m, 2-pin, 10mm IP20 LED strip, including starter leads, flexible joiner leads, straight joining connectors, mounting clips and shaped connectors.
This allows installers to create customised strip-lighting arrangements while selecting components designed for the correct strip width and electrical format.
Ideal for Kitchen & Cabinet Lighting
The combination of 3000K warm white light, 1340lm/m output and slim 10mm construction makes the OV18145WW20 particularly useful for kitchen and furniture lighting.
It can be installed in suitable locations beneath wall cabinets, within shelving, around furniture or as part of concealed architectural lighting to create both useful illumination and visual interest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ovia Inceptor® Intense?
Inceptor® Intense is Ovia’s range of 24V LED strip lighting. The system has been designed to provide a flexible lighting solution for both decorative and functional applications, with a choice of LED strips, drivers, connectors, controllers and aluminium profiles.
Where can Inceptor Intense be used?
Inceptor Intense can be used in a wide variety of domestic and commercial applications, including kitchens, bedrooms, living spaces, shelving, cabinets, display areas, bars, restaurants and architectural features.
Suitable IP65 products can also be used where additional protection against moisture is required, subject to the individual product specification and installation requirements.
What colours are available?
The Inceptor Intense range includes Warm White, Cool White and RGBW options.
RGBW strip provides coloured lighting as well as white light, allowing a wide variety of lighting effects and colour combinations to be created when used with the appropriate controller.
What is RGBW?
RGBW stands for Red, Green, Blue and White. By combining the different colour channels, the strip can create a huge range of colours, while the dedicated white channel provides white illumination.
Is Inceptor Intense 12V or 24V?
Inceptor Intense LED strip operates at 24V DC.
A suitable 24V LED driver is therefore required between the mains electrical supply and the LED strip.
Choosing the Right LED Strip
What is the difference between the 7.2W/m and 14.4W/m strips?
The wattage figure indicates the power consumed by each metre of LED strip.
The 7.2W/m option is suitable where a lower-output lighting effect is required, while 14.4W/m strip provides a higher-output solution.
The correct option will depend on the required lighting effect, application and total installation load.
What does W/m mean?
W/m means watts per metre.
For example, 5 metres of 7.2W/m strip has a nominal strip load of:
5 × 7.2W = 36W
This calculation is important when selecting an appropriately rated LED driver.
What is the difference between IP20 and IP65?
IP20 products are intended for dry indoor environments where protection against water is not required.
IP65 products provide increased protection against dust and water jets and can therefore be suitable for more demanding environments.
Always check the IP rating of the complete installation, including connectors, joints and accessories, rather than assuming the LED strip's rating applies to every component.
What is the difference between Warm White and Cool White?
Warm White produces a softer, warmer appearance and is commonly chosen for relaxed residential and hospitality environments.
Cool White has a cleaner, cooler appearance and can be useful where a brighter or more functional lighting effect is desired.
The best choice depends on the application and desired appearance.
Installation Questions
Does Inceptor Intense need an LED driver?
Yes. Inceptor Intense is a 24V DC LED strip system and requires a compatible LED driver.
The driver must be correctly sized for the total wattage of LED strip connected to it.
How do I calculate which driver I need?
First calculate the total LED strip load:
Strip length × watts per metre = total wattage
For example:
4m × 14.4W/m = 57.6W
The selected driver must be suitable for the connected load. Appropriate design headroom and the manufacturer's loading requirements should also be considered when selecting the driver.
Can Inceptor Intense LED strip be cut?
Yes. The strip incorporates designated cutting points to allow the length to be customised.
Only cut the strip at the designated cutting points.
Cutting anywhere else may damage the strip or prevent sections from operating correctly.
Can cut pieces be reconnected?
Where compatible connectors and accessories are available, sections can be joined or connected as part of the Inceptor Intense system.
It is important to select the correct accessory for the strip type, width, wattage and IP rating being installed.
Can I connect different types of strip together?
Do not assume different Inceptor Intense strips and accessories are interchangeable.
Connector type, strip width, number of conductors, wattage, IP rating and control requirements can differ between products. Always use accessories specified as compatible with the particular LED strip.
Do I need to solder the connections?
The Inceptor Intense range includes plug-and-play connection accessories designed to make installation quicker and easier and to reduce the need for conventional soldered connections.
Always use the connector specified for the particular strip being installed.
Is polarity important?
Yes. LED strip is polarity sensitive.
The positive and negative connections must be correctly aligned on single-colour strips, while RGBW products require the appropriate connections to each channel.
Incorrect connections can prevent the strip from operating correctly.
Can the strip be bent around corners?
LED strip is flexible, but it should not be sharply folded, twisted or excessively bent.
For corners, changes of direction or difficult layouts, use an appropriate joining accessory where required rather than forcing the strip into a tight bend.
Dimming & RGBW Control
Can Inceptor Intense be dimmed?
Dimming depends on the strip, driver and control equipment used.
The complete system must be designed using mutually compatible components. For RGBW installations, the appropriate RGBW control equipment is required.
How do I control RGBW Inceptor Intense strip?
Ovia offers dedicated RGBW control options for the Inceptor Intense system, including panel and handheld controller solutions.
These allow functions such as colour selection, dimming and preset colour/effect modes.
Do I need a controller for RGBW strip?
Yes. To make use of RGBW colour-changing and dimming functions, compatible RGBW control equipment is required.
The controller sits within the low-voltage side of the system and controls the individual colour channels.
Aluminium Profiles & Appearance
Do I have to install the LED strip in an aluminium profile?
The requirements depend on the installation and strip selected, but an aluminium profile can provide a cleaner, more professional finish and can help protect the LED strip.
Always follow Ovia's installation requirements for the particular product.
Why can I sometimes see individual LED dots?
LED strip consists of individual LEDs positioned along the strip. Depending on LED density, the distance from the diffuser and the profile being used, individual points of light can sometimes be visible.
A suitable aluminium profile and diffuser can help create a more uniform lighting effect.
What is the difference between a clear and opal diffuser?
A clear diffuser generally allows more of the LED output through but may make individual LEDs more visible.
An opal diffuser helps soften and diffuse the light, producing a more uniform appearance, although some light output may be reduced.
Troubleshooting
My LED strip isn't switching on. What should I check?
An installer should check:
- The mains supply to the driver.
- The driver's 24V DC output.
- The polarity of the connections.
- All strip connectors and joints.
- That the driver has sufficient capacity for the connected load.
- That the strip has only been cut at designated cutting points.
- For RGBW installations, that the controller is connected and configured correctly.
Electrical testing should only be undertaken by a suitably competent person.
Why does only part of my LED strip work?
Check any joint or connector around the point where illumination stops. Also inspect the strip for damage or an incorrect cut.
The installation should be isolated before connections are inspected or altered.
Why is my LED strip flickering?
Possible causes include a poor connection, incompatible control equipment, an incorrectly sized or overloaded driver, or a supply issue.
The driver, controller, connections and total connected load should be checked.
Why is the LED strip dimmer towards the end of a long run?
Voltage drop can occur on longer LED strip installations and may result in reduced brightness towards the end of a run.
Longer installations should be designed with cable length, conductor size, strip load, driver position and suitable power-feed arrangements in mind.
Safety & Warranty
Can I install Inceptor Intense myself?
Although the LED strip itself operates at 24V DC, the driver may be connected to a mains supply.
Any mains electrical work should be carried out in accordance with applicable wiring regulations and by a suitably competent person.
Is Inceptor Intense suitable for bathrooms?
This depends on the specific product's IP rating, its location within the bathroom and the applicable electrical regulations.
Do not select a product solely because the LED strip itself is IP65. The suitability of the driver, connectors, controls and complete installation must also be considered.
Can Inceptor Intense be used outdoors?
Selected IP65 components may be suitable for appropriate applications where increased protection from moisture is required.
However, the IP rating and environmental suitability of every component in the installation must be checked, including the LED strip, connectors, driver and control equipment.
What warranty does Inceptor Intense have?
The Inceptor Intense range is supplied with a 3-year warranty, subject to Ovia's applicable warranty terms and conditions.
Where can I find technical specifications?
Technical specifications, product information and supporting documentation are available from Ovia Lighting. Always refer to the technical information for the exact Inceptor Intense product code being installed, as specifications and compatibility can vary across the range.
