Nova Flex has spent sixteen years refining the intersection of technical lighting and professional service, originating from the Upper Midwest with a focus on lifting craftsmanship in lighting to new heights. As a specialist in low-voltage linear LED and control systems, they provide the architectural community with high-performance luminaires and the engineering support required to integrate them into complex environments.
Why choose NOVA FLEX?
We source from Nova Flex because they operate with a small-team mentality where the answer to complex customization is a baseline "yes." Unlike suppliers that ship bulk reels for field-cutting, Nova Flex performs all soldering, lead-wire attachment, and IP-rating encapsulation at their Minnesota facility before the product ever reaches the job site. This hands-on approach—where every order undergoes multiple bench-tests and arrives labeled to match the original shop drawings—eliminates the failure points typically associated with field-assembled LED tape.
Engineering the Environment
Professional lighting value is often invisible until the installation is complete. One of the most critical factors is color consistency, measured by the MacAdam Ellipse. While consumer-grade LEDs vary in hue from one section to the next, Nova Flex maintains a <2-step MacAdam binning. This ensures the light temperature remains identical across a twenty-foot run or multiple rooms, preventing the distracting color shifts that often compromise clean architectural lines.
For projects featuring high-end wood finishes, light quality is a priority. Nova Flex products carry a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 or higher. This metric defines how accurately a light source reveals the true color of an object. High-fidelity rendering ensures natural wood patinas and grain appear exactly as intended, avoiding the muddy or greenish shifts typical of lower-quality diodes.
Technical efficiency also dictates system longevity. Nova Flex high-output strips achieve an efficacy of up to 176 lumens per watt, converting more electricity into light and less into waste heat. This thermal management allows for powerful illumination—up to 1,157 lumens per foot—without the heat buildup that prematurely degrades LED chips.
