LED strip SMD 3528 12V 3000K 60LED/m IP65 5m

LED Strip - Construction

The strip uses SMD technology with LEDs in a 3528 package. The underside has factory-applied double-sided adhesive tape to aid installation on a suitably prepared surface. The Slim variant uses a narrow PCB with a width of 5mm.

Control of LED strip

The strip can be powered directly from a suitable 12V power supply. An optional PWM controller enables brightness adjustment.

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

The presented white LED strip is a single-channel light source with a color temperature of 3000K. All LEDs emit the same color and are controlled simultaneously, providing uniform and stable illumination.

In most white LEDs, light is produced through a phosphor-conversion process. A blue semiconductor chip emits short-wavelength radiation, part of which is converted by a phosphor layer into longer-wavelength visible light. The combination of the original blue light and the radiation emitted by the phosphor creates a broad spectrum perceived by the human eye as white light.

The composition and proportions of the phosphor materials make it possible to control the color temperature, tint, luminous efficacy, and color rendering quality with high precision. In high-quality LEDs, a properly engineered spectrum can faithfully reproduce the natural appearance of illuminated objects and colors, bringing the character of the emitted light close to daylight or traditional incandescent lighting. Particularly important factors include a high color rendering index, the correct balance of spectral components, and strict LED binning for color consistency. As a result, in typical applications, the light produced by a high-quality LED strip can be visually very difficult to distinguish from that of natural or traditional light sources.

During operation, an LED ages gradually rather than failing suddenly through a conventional “burnout.” The most commonly observed process is a slow reduction in luminous flux over time. High operating temperatures can accelerate degradation of the semiconductor structure, phosphor, package materials, and electrical connections. Over time, the phosphor may lose some of its conversion efficiency, while optical materials may become discolored, leading to a slight shift in color temperature or chromaticity coordinates.

In high-quality LED strips, this aging process is slow, uniform, and predictable. Proper thermal management, stable power supply, and installation in a suitable aluminum profile reduce the operating temperature, helping to preserve the original brightness and light color for many years.

For static operation, the strip does not require a controller — a correctly selected power supply is sufficient. Brightness adjustment requires a compatible single-channel LED dimmer or controller, most commonly using PWM modulation.

LED strip - product overview

The strip operates at 12V and has a density of 60LED/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.

Warm white LED strip IP65 300LED SMD 3528

Build clean, cozy lighting with a warm white LED strip IP65 designed for everyday projects. This 5mm slim version fits tight aluminum profiles. The SMD 3528 LEDs provide a stable warm tone. You get a smart balance between LED density and power draw. The IP65 coating helps protect against dust and water splashes.

Why choose SMD 3528 in a 5mm slim format

• Stable warm color for a comfortable atmosphere.
• IP65 protection for kitchens, bathrooms, and covered outdoor areas.
• 300 LEDs per reel for smooth accent lighting.
• 5mm width for narrow channels and discreet installs.
• Cuttable at marked points and easy to connect.

Warm white LED strip IP65 applications

Use this strip for furniture lighting, shelves, alcoves, and ceiling coves. It also works well for shop displays and signage accents. Install it in an aluminum profile for better cooling and a cleaner finish. The adhesive backing speeds up mounting on prepared surfaces.

LED strip power supply selection

Choose a constant-voltage power supply matched to the total wattage. Add a 20–30% safety margin for long-term reliability. Look for premium protection features, including OVP, OCP, SCP, and OTP. Active PFC improves efficiency and operating comfort.

To avoid voltage drop on longer runs, use power injection. Feed power about every 5 m for 12V systems. Feed power about every 10 m for 24V systems. Use a star wiring layout and proper cable gauge. Seal connections when moisture is possible.

Warm white LED strip IP65 mounting tips

• Clean and degrease the surface before sticking the strip.
• Use soldering or quality connectors for reliable joins.
• Protect joints against humidity in outdoor installations.
• Test the strip before final mounting.
