LED strip SMD 5050 12V 7.2W/m RGB 30LED/m IP20 5m

LED Strip - Construction

The strip uses SMD technology with LEDs in a 5050 package. The underside has factory-applied double-sided adhesive tape to aid installation on a suitably prepared surface.

Control of LED strip

The strip requires a PWM controller supporting the 3 control channels used by the RGB configuration.

Important information

The stated power is a rated or theoretical value based on the parameters of the components used. Actual power consumption may be lower due to component tolerances, voltage drop and operating conditions.

Power and installation

The strip does not require an additional power-injection point when its length does not exceed 5m. Above this length, consider starting the next separately powered run, supplying the run at its far end, or adding another power point after the indicated length.

The 5m value is based on the electrical properties of the strip PCB. It indicates the length at which supply-voltage drop should not cause a noticeable reduction in LED brightness along the length of strip. Above this length, a brightness difference may become visible. If it remains acceptable to the end customer, the final power-feed arrangement is the responsibility of the installation designer or user.

Light emitted by LED strip

An RGB LED strip uses three independent color channels: red, green, and blue. By adjusting their relative brightness levels, it is possible to produce a very wide range of colors, including smooth color transitions, dynamic lighting effects, and white light created by activating all three channels simultaneously. Red, green, and blue are the primary colors of the additive color model, and the characteristics of red, green, and blue LEDs are stable, repeatable, and well understood — which is why these particular colors are used.

The strip requires a compatible 3-channel RGB controller that independently regulates the intensity of each color channel, most commonly using PWM modulation. Different output colors — other than the three primary colors — are obtained by varying the relative intensity of the red, green, and blue channels. Depending on the controller used, the user can select colors, adjust brightness, and activate predefined lighting scenes and dynamic effects.

RGB LED strips are designed primarily for decorative, effect, and ambient lighting of interiors, furniture, ceilings, display cases, and architectural elements.

LED strip - product overview

The strip operates at 12V and has a density of 30LED/m with an IP20 ingress-protection rating.

Sales unit of led strip

The sales unit includes a factory-prepared reel of LED strip with a length of 5m.

LED strip - power supply selection

The strip requires a power supply with an output voltage of 12V. Guidance: select a power supply with an optimum 30% power reserve above the LED strip demand.

RGB LED strip 150LED SMD 5050 — premium light for subtle accents

Build clean, colorful accents with a premium RGB LED strip designed for smooth effects and reliable color. This strip uses SMD 5050 LEDs and a lower diode density. That means softer highlights, easier control, and reduced power draw. It works great in aluminum profiles, furniture lighting, shelves, coves, and display features. The adhesive backing helps with fast installation on prepared surfaces.

Why choose this RGB LED strip 150LED SMD 5050

• SMD 5050 RGB diodes for stable color mixing and consistent output.
• 150 LEDs per roll for subtle, elegant accents and efficient power use.
• Premium components selected for dependable everyday operation.
• Cut-to-length at marked points; connect by soldering or quality connectors.
• Best with profiles for better cooling and a cleaner finish.

Premium SMD 5050 RGB LED tape: power, wiring, and control

Choose a constant-voltage LED power supply matched to the total wattage. Add a 20–30% safety margin for stable work and longer lifespan. Look for protections such as OVP, OCP, SCP, and OTP. Models with active PFC can improve efficiency and operating culture.

To avoid voltage drop on longer runs, use power injection. For 12V systems, feed power about every 5 meters. For 24V systems, feed power about every 10 meters. Use a star wiring layout and select the correct wire gauge. For outdoor or humid areas, seal all connections properly.

Where it works best

• Cabinets, shelves, and niches
• Ceilings, coves, and architectural accents
• Aluminum profiles and decorative trims
• Displays, signage, and exhibition lighting

Installation tips

Clean and degrease the surface before mounting. Press the strip firmly along the full length. Use an aluminum profile to improve heat dissipation and protect the LEDs. Always test the strip before final installation.

FAQ

What power supply should I choose? Add up the wattage of all sections and add 20–30% headroom. Pick a constant-voltage unit with OVP/OCP/SCP/OTP.

When do I need power injection? Use it on long runs or when brightness drops at the end. Feed power every 5 m (12V) or every 10 m (24V).

Can I cut and reconnect the strip? Yes, only at marked cut points. Soldering gives the most reliable connection.
