SMD LED Strip Lights – 2835, 2216, 5050

SMD LED Strip

SMD (Surface Mounted Device) LED strips are one of the most widely used technologies for linear and accent lighting. The SMD LED chip is mounted directly onto the surface of a flexible printed circuit board, which keeps the strip slim, lightweight and well suited to installations in limited space.

Compared with traditional halogen lights, SMD LED strips run far more efficiently, produce less heat and use considerably less energy. They offer good heat dissipation and a colour temperature close to natural light, with a rated lifespan of more than 50,000 hours under normal conditions. They are also easy to cut and simple to solder.

Established in 2010, Arraystar manufactures SMD LED strips in popular packages including 2835, 2216 and 5050, with a wide choice of colour temperatures, CRI, beam options and waterproof ratings. They are suitable for residential, commercial, industrial and outdoor linear lighting projects.

Why Choose Arraystar LED's SMD LED Strips?

First at all, let's review the advantages and disadvantages of them:

Advantages
- Variety models available
- Easy installation and cutting
- High brightness and low brightness all exisiting
- Popular among customers
- Energy efficient and power saving
Disadvantages
- It is not dotless lighting effect
- Material cost is higher compare to COB LED strip
- Voltage drop problem is common
- Maintenance cost is high
- Professional installation is necessary

When deciding how to choose a suitable LED strip, consider the following factors:

1.Application Scenario:

For home decoration, customer can choose 100lm/W, 9W/m LED strip. They provide softer lighting, easier installation, and higher safety, and energy saving.

For commercial or industrial projects, high-voltage LED strips are ideal. They support single-side power supply for up to 50 meters without voltage drop and deliver brighter illumination.
2.Brightness and Color Temperature:

100lm/W suitable for home lighting and commercial lighting, high brightness more than 130lm/W suitable for outdoor lighting and industrial lighting.

2700-3500K warm white color are more yellow, ideal for home lighting and decorative lighting, 4000K-5000K is more close to natural light, ideal for office lighting and commercial lighting. 6000-6500K is cool white, ideal for hospital lighting and workshop lighting.
3.Installation and Maintenance:

Customized length, PCB width, waterproof or non-waterproof housing, professional connection of whole lighting system, combine LED driver, LED controller and LED sensor together.
