Dave 20

View on Offspring Profiles website

Dado Dave 20 is a sleek, architectural profile designed to provide high-output up lighting. The LED strip is positioned to maximise asymmetric distribution which offers smooth light out into the space. The concealed light source keeps glare to a minimum, while up to 2650 lumens per metre LED strip means it packs a punch. The extrusion is designed for super-quick screw-fixing, while a clip-in aluminium lid covers the screw heads and provides a smooth, easy-to-clean surface. For applications where Dado Dave 20 is being mounted flush with the bottom of a bulkhead, then the mounting adaptor can be used to reverse the direction of the mounting screw.

LED Strip Options

Please take particular care when selecting LED strips as not all options are available for all profiles. Click on each LED strip series below to display the options suitable for the profile.

Other LED strip options may be available upon request. Please consult your local distributor for further information.

All LED strip lumen values mentioned in the tables below refer to source lumens (bare LED strip). Losses through diffuser/profile are not represented. Please consult photometric data for delivered lumen values.

Please note that for dimmable applications, our LED strips should be used with dimming controllers or drivers with a PWM frequency of 2000Hz or less in order to maintain warranty.
