Based out of Raleigh, North Carolina, Design Dimension Inc. designs, fabricates and installs spaces that are innovative, playful, and community driven. Design Dimension has used QolorFLEX LED Tapes and Accessories for multiple installations around North Carolina, including retail, experiential, and commercial. This installation for Courtside retail store at the Crabtree Valley Mall was different in that it included a large display that, when finished, would not show a single fastener or screw despite its complexity and high level of foot traffic. Learn more about how QolorFLEX® LED Tape, 12V, Natural White was used for this high-end sneaker retail display project in our case study Q&A with Andrew Domanski of Design Dimension.

QolorFLEX 5-in-1 LED Tape in the tubes onstage at Carmen at The Met

The Metropolitan Opera, not famed for high-concept approaches to classics, achieved a coup in January 2024 with its new production of George Bizet’s Carmen.

City Theatrical is proud and thankful that the lighting design team for this production used 300+ reels of QolorFLEX 5-in-1 HiQ High CRI LED Tape and 200+ QolorFLEX 5x8A Dimmers to illuminate the tubes surrounding the stage.

City Theatrical offers many QolorFLEX® LED Tape Accessories to help make LED Tape installations easier, including ribbon cables, mounting clips, extrusions, diffusers, connectors, and more – all for well-organized LED Tape installations.

The New! Ribbon Cable, Six Conductor, 20 GA (P/N 6607-20) is our most recent expansion of the line of QolorFLEX LED Tape Accessories. This ribbon cable joins and connects five color LED tapes, such as QolorFLEX 5-in-1 LED Tape, and dimmers, and is slightly thinner than our existing 18 gauge cable.
