5m LED strips

Five meters is the standard length of an LED strip: enough for a kitchen wall, a ceiling cove in a small room or a row of cabinets, and easy to cut to size. Choose a loose reel if you pick the power supply and connection yourself, or a plug & play set that plugs straight into the socket. In COB and SMD, 12V and 24V, white and RGB.

What 5 meters of LED strip is enough for

Task light under the wall cabinets of an average kitchen.
A ceiling cove along one or two walls.
A row of bookcases or display cabinets.
A glow behind a TV unit, bed or sofa.

Loose reel or complete set?

Loose reel: you choose the power supply, connectors and optionally a controller. Handy if you join several pieces or already have a power supply.
Plug & play set: strip, plug-in adapter and connector in one box. Click the connector onto the strip and plug it into the socket. See the LED strip sets.

Which 5m strip do you choose?

COB 24V: even line without dots, CRI 90+, 800 to 1,000 lumens per meter. See the COB LED strips.
SMD 12V or 24V: 480 to 1,920 lumens per meter, efficient and versatile.
RGB, RGBW and RGB+CCT: color and white. See the RGB LED strips.
IP65: for the bathroom, the kitchen next to the sink and outdoors under a roof. See the waterproof LED strips.

The right power supply for 5 meters

Watts per meter × 5 ÷ 0.8. Examples: 5 meters at 4.8 W/m = 24 W, so at least 30 W. 5 meters at 10 W/m = 50 W, so at least 63 W, for example 72 W. See the LED strip power supplies.

Frequently asked questions about 5m LED strips

Can I shorten a 5m strip?

Yes, at the marked cut points, every 5 centimeters on COB. You can use the offcut elsewhere with a connector and cable.

Can I join two 5m reels?

Yes, with a strip-to-strip connector. At 24V, 10 meters from one feed point usually stays even; at 12V, feed the second reel separately.

Need more than 5 meters?

See the 10m LED strips, or for tens of meters the 230V LED strips.
