High quality

This LED strip SMD2835 is made of high-quality plastic and is very flexible. The back has a 3M adhesive strip making it very easy to install. The strip has a standard length of 5 meters, but this can be easily adjusted by cutting the strip or by connecting multiple strips together. This LED strip has a protection rating of IP20. This means the strip is not resistant to water or moisture. Therefore, the strip can only be used indoors between a temperature of -25°C to 60°C. The LED strip can be used as decorative lighting or as main lighting.

Extending or shortening the LED strip

This LED strip is very easy to cut to shorten or extend. Both 12V and 24V can be cut every 3 LEDs (5cm). Cut the strip in the middle of the copper plates where a + and - are marked. These can be easily clicked into a connector or sealed with a cap.

The following connectors are available to shape the LED strip as you want.

• Straight connector
• 90° angle connector
• T-splitter 

For connection we have the following connectors.

• DC Connector
• End with short 2-pin wire

The right power supply

To connect the LED strip you need a power adapter. This LED strip operates on 12V and must be converted with an adapter. Choosing the right adapter is important to get the maximum out of the LED strip but also to prevent insufficient power through the strip.

Make sure the total wattage of the power adapter is higher than the power of the LED strip. (Example: 5 meters = 48W. So a power adapter with a capacity of at least 48W is needed.)

LED Strip 12V

• 1m-5m: Power adapter 12V 60W
• 5m-10m: Power adapter 12V 145W

LED Strip 24V

• 1m-5m: Power adapter 24V 60W
• 5m-10m: Power adapter 24V 145W
• 10m-15m: Power adapter 24V 200W
• 15m-20m: Power adapter 24V 230W

Applications for LED strips

This LED strip is suitable for both commercial and private use. The LED strip is often used in the following situations: offices, shops, cafés and restaurants, public transport, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc.

The possibilities are endless. Think of lighting along stairs, lighting in cabinets, or lighting under a sofa or bed. In cafés, LED strips are often used to illuminate the bar. LED strips are also often used as ceiling lighting in a cove.

Light color

To determine the correct light color, it is important to know the purpose of the light. Below is a description of the most common uses for the different light colors.

• 2400K has a soft orange glow. Comparable to candlelight or a late sunset. Ideal for a cozy warm and relaxing atmosphere in, for example, living rooms, cafés, restaurants, and other spaces that do not require bright light.
• 3000K has a slightly yellow/orange glow and is a bit brighter than 2700K but still warm. Ideal for a cozy warm and relaxing atmosphere in, for example, living rooms, waiting areas, cafés, restaurants, corridors, and other general spaces.
• 4000K has a white/yellow glow. Ideal for a well-lit space where good visibility, focus, and a pleasant atmosphere are desired, such as offices, classrooms, kitchens, hallways, shops, fitting rooms, hair salons, stairwells, or waiting rooms.
• 6000K has a white/light blue glow. Ideal for a well-lit space where good visibility and concentration are required, such as hospitals, laboratories, workshops, studios, and garages.
