LED strip SMD 5050 12V 7.2W/m RGB 30LED/m IP65 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 IP65 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.

Build colorful accent lighting with a premium strip that is easy to plan and reliable in daily use. RGB LED strip 5050 IP65 with 150 LEDs gives smooth color mixing and a lower power draw. It is a smart choice for decorative lines, furniture backlighting, and clean installations in aluminum profiles.

Why choose an RGB LED strip 5050 IP65?

This model uses SMD 5050 LEDs, known for stable RGB color and good consistency. The lower LED density helps create subtle accents. It also reduces energy use on long runs. The IP65 coating protects against dust and water splashes. It works well in kitchens, bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas.

LED strip for profiles and modern accents

• Great for aluminum profiles for better heat handling.
• Easy to cut at marked points for clean lengths.
• Works with RGB controllers for scenes and effects.

Waterproof RGB LED tape IP65: where it fits best

• Furniture, shelves, niches, and display cases.
• Ceiling coves, wall lines, and architectural accents.
• Signage, exhibitions, and retail displays.
• Under-cabinet lighting in splash-prone zones.

Power supply, safety, and voltage drop

Choose a constant-voltage power supply matched to total wattage. Add a 20–30% reserve for stable work and longer life. Look for protections like OVP, OCP, SCP, and OTP. Models with active PFC can improve efficiency and stability.

For long runs, avoid voltage drop with power injection. Feed power about every 5 m on 12V systems. For 24 V systems, feed about every 10 m. Use a star wiring layout and proper wire gauge. Seal connections for outdoor installations.

Installation tips

• Mount on a clean surface for best adhesive grip.
• Use an aluminum profile for cooling and a neat finish.
• Connect by soldering or reliable connectors.

FAQ

Which power supply should I pick?
Sum the wattage of all sections and add 20–30% reserve. Choose a unit with OVP/OCP/SCP/OTP protection.

When do I need power injection?
Use it for longer sections or when you notice dimming. Add power every 5 m (12V) or 10 m (24 V).

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