LED strip SMD 5050 12V 7.2W/m RGB 30LED/m IP68 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 IP68 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 IP68 for subtle, premium lighting

This RGB LED strip IP68 is built for clean accent lighting with a lower LED density. It helps reduce power use. It still delivers vivid color thanks to SMD 5050 LEDs. The 5050 package offers stable output and consistent mixing across scenes. Choose it for indoor builds and protected outdoor projects. The IP68 seal supports demanding environments with moisture exposure.

Why choose this RGB LED strip IP68?

• 150 LEDs for softer, elegant accents and efficient operation
• SMD 5050 for stable color and reliable RGB effects
• IP68 sealing for wet locations and tough installations
• Great fit for aluminum profiles and architectural details

Waterproof RGB LED tape for real projects

This waterproof RGB LED tape works well when you want atmosphere, not harsh hotspots. Use it to highlight shapes, edges, and surfaces. It is a strong choice for decorative lighting and commercial displays. It also looks great behind diffusers and in LED profiles.

Common applications

• Furniture, shelves, niches, and display cases
• Ceiling coves, wall accents, and aluminum channels
• Signage, exhibitions, and retail presentation
• Outdoor accents where sealing is required

Power supply, voltage drop, and safe wiring

Pick a constant-voltage LED power supply matched to total wattage. Add a 20–30% reserve for stability. Choose models with OVP, OCP, SCP, and OTP protections. Active PFC improves efficiency and operation. To reduce voltage drop, use power injection on long runs. Feed every ~5 m for 12V systems, or ~10 m for 24 V systems. Use a star wiring layout and proper wire gauge. Seal outdoor connections against moisture.

Installation tips

• Cut only at marked cut points
• Connect with soldering or quality connectors
• Use an aluminum profile to support cooling and longevity

FAQ

Which power supply should I choose?
Sum the wattage of all sections and add 20–30% headroom. Choose a protected constant-voltage unit.

When do I need power injection?
Use it for longer runs to keep brightness even. Follow 5 m (12V) or 10 m (24 V) spacing.

Can I cut and reconnect the strip?
Yes, at cut marks. Use correct soldering temperature and insulated joints.
