Quick Answer:
LightWave® Roll It! is a 4″-wide rollable LED light sheet for long, continuous runs. The standard roll is 40 ft (480″) long at 2.15 W/ft and 130 lm/W, delivering 280 lm/ft with CRI >80. The high-output roll is 33 ft 4 in (400″) at 3.5 W/ft and 350–450 lm/ft. Both cut to length along marked lines and are under 7 mm thick.

How many drivers does a Roll It! run need?
One correctly sized driver can power a full 40 ft standard roll: 86 W of load, or about 103 W with 20% headroom. A full high-output roll draws about 117 W, or 140 W with headroom. Use the LED sheet power supply calculator for mixed runs.
Where can I cut a Roll It! roll?
Along any of the marked cut lines along its length. Cut sections can be powered separately or reconnected; see the Roll It! manual for connection details.
How do you mount Roll It! in a cove?
Lay the roll flat on the cove floor or back, adhesive side down on a clean, degreased surface, in one continuous run. See architectural cove lighting.

Need custom shapes?
LightWave® Roll It! can be combined with our cuttable LightWave® products with the perfect match, so you can roll out our large format light sheet while still working around the unique shapes of your space.
Where this variant is the right choice
- Large-format installations and building-envelope backlighting: See the
architectural cove lighting scenario —
continuous runs up to 40 ft eliminate splice points across large faces - High-output applications needing more lumens: See the
trade-show booth backlighting scenario —
high-output option (3.5 W/ft) for bright, even fill light - Retrofit and field-cut installations: See the
curved column lighting scenario —
cuttable on-site and adhesive-backed for tight integration
Where to choose a different variant instead
- Modular installations under 10 linear feet:
Gen 1 Plus modular sheets offer better cost
per unit and easier replacement than continuous rolls - High-CRI or true-color applications:
CH2 RGBW build reaches CRI 90 for color-accurate
retail and museum work - Animation and pixel-mapped effects:
PIXX addressable SPI control for video and
motion graphics
