"Tapo" LED Strip Lights Dynamically Illuminate Building Exterior
Enhancing office exterior appearance with easy-to-use lighting solutions.
Overview
AQ Group, a comprehensive housing manufacturer including "Acura Home," sought to enhance the exterior of their head office building in Saitama Prefecture. The building, notable for being the first 8-story pure wooden structure in Japan, received the "iF DESIGN AWARD 2025." To boost corporate promotion and visibility along the main road, AQ Group explored lighting options.
However, professional installation costs were prohibitive. They discovered TP-Link's "Tapo LED Strip Lights" on an e-commerce site. By having their own staff perform the installation, they significantly reduced costs and achieved a dynamic lighting display that enhanced both their brand image and visibility.
Challenges
- Desire to increase corporate recognition and visibility by leveraging the building's roadside location.
- High costs associated with hiring professional installation companies.
- Need for a versatile lighting tool capable of various colors and flexible effects to complement the building's high-design aesthetic.
Product Introduced
Tapo L920-5 Gradient Addressable Smart Wi-Fi Tape Light
Points of Introduction
TP-Link's Tapo LED strip lights enabled AQ Group to achieve exterior lighting enhancements while significantly cutting costs. The product's easy availability on an online EC site allowed for verification, and confirmation that their in-house staff and a few electricians could handle the installation. This approach reduced external costs and allowed for flexible on-site adjustments.
Easy Management via App
Lighting operations are automated through timer settings. The office support department manages the lights via smartphone, reducing daily operational burdens. After installation, a slight color temperature difference from existing lighting was noticed. Users adjusted this by adding yellow tones, achieving satisfactory quality through fine-tuning within the company.
Comments from the Person in Charge
"Although it was a building with a high-design wooden structure, the tape lights further refined the building's exterior."
Key Benefits
- Achieved decorative lighting that is cost-effective and managed by in-house staff.
- Enabled lighting that highlights the appeal of the high-design wooden building.
- Improved corporate brand value through increased recognition and visibility.
Conclusion
Cost-consciousness and ease of installation are crucial in any industry. Selecting equipment with in-house operation in mind offers flexibility and economic advantages. We encourage you to consider this approach.
