What length LED lights should I get for my room?

How Long Should LED Lights Be for a Room? If you’re adding LED strip lights or string lights, you can look for a standard 16 foot roll or a strip light that can be connected together to make a longer run. Most standard sized bedrooms are around 12 feet by 12 feet or even smaller.

What is 5050 LED strip?

The 5050 is an RGB strip whose chips measure 5.0mm by 5.0mm. They have 3 LED diodes in each casing called tri-chips, which gives them a very bright glare when turned on at full power. The 5050 LED uses about 60mA of power, has a surface area of 25mm squared, and a brightness of 22 lumens.

How do I know what type of LED strip?

An LED strip description often includes a 4-digit number such as 5050 or 2835. The number usually describes the size of the chip. For example, a 5050 LED chip measures 5.0 mm wide by 5.0 mm tall. Similarly, a 2835 chip measures 2.8 mm wide by 3.5 mm tall.

How many watts is a LED strip?

The LED strip has a power consumption of 14W / m. 14 x 8.5 = 119 Watts in total. So you need a LED power supply (sometimes referred to as a LED driver) that can deliver at least 119 Watts. However, it is recommended that you make allowances for unintentional overloads.

Which LED strip is the brightest?

SMD (Surface Mounted) 5730 series is the brightest LED strip because it contains powerful LEDs that can create a lot of light. It is important to note here that comparing one LED strip series to the other is like comparing apples to oranges.

How do I identify my LED chip?

LED chips (also known as surface mounted diodes or SMDs) are all identified by a four-digit number. This code is less complicated than it looks – it simply indicates the size of the LED chip. For example, the dimensions of SMDs on 5050 LED strip lights are 5.0mm x 5.0mm.

How do I know what LED strip I have?

What voltage do LED strip lights use?

LED light strips generally fall into two voltage categories – high voltage (110 volt or greater) and low voltage (24 volt or below). This week’s blog discusses the differences between the two, and when you should use them.

What does 5050 led strip mean?

Simply put, these LED chips are called SMD 5050 because the dimensions of the chips are 5.0mm x 5.0mm. They have 3 LED diodes in one housing (sometimes called tri-chips), and are a lot brighter than individual 3528 LED chips.
