Are those dimensions in inches/mm/cm/feet?
Can you describe the orientation you need the light to mount in or provide a conceptual sketch?
Must said light be mounted vertically/horizontally?
Water/splash resistance?
What country are you in 120V/220v?

Why is a concrete countertop company selling an ATS on their website?
err.. and doorbells? Goofy assortment of products makes me want to move on..

Ive used four of those Expression LEDs for 4+ years of service in various types of ATS. Mine run about 8 Watts per bar and have demonstrated outstanding water resistance that I would call “waterproof”. I clean by running under a hose to wash off salt. Their 12 inches long so one of your dimensions has to support that length of light spread. Works for me. Good luck.
