LED Chips In Detail

LED Chips In Detail

LED Strip is manufactured with a variety of chip sizes. I am going to explain these LED Chips In Detail, which will refer to the main differences between the ones we most commonly use here at SDL Lighting, the 3528 and 5050 versions.
In simple terms, the name given to each LED Chip is its actual physical size. So, where both strips are concerned, it would be 3.5mm x 2.8mm for 3528 chips and 5mm x 5mm for 5050 chips.

3528 LED Chip

Here is the 3528 LED chips in detail. The 3528 is smaller that the 5050 version, as explained above, its physical dimension is 3.5mm x 2.8mm. The 3528 chip is more commonly used on 12V strip running 60 LEDs per meter at a load of 4.8W, known as 4.8W/meter (3528/60/WW). Using this specification will give you an effective light with a lumen output of up to 420 per meter which is more than a 40W halogen Bulb. We have a variety of colours available in 3528, they are Warm White, Natural White, Pure White, Red, Green, Blue and Amber also. Regarding the White colours, these can be ordered to specific Kelvins on request. This lighting has been used in a variety of applications as feature lighting, most notably Plinth Lighting, Cove Lighting, Bars, Cinemas, Restaurants and Offices as furniture lighting. There is no limit to where this lighting can be housed.
We also stock another version of LED Strip with 3528 chips (3528/120/WW) which has 120 LEDS per meter at a load of 9.6W, known as 9.6W/m. We have it available in Warm White, Natural White, Pure White and Blue. The output on this strip is doubled in terms of power and Lumens as its using double the amount of LED’s. The applications for this strip are mainly feature lighting and the increase in popularity with this strip is huge as when used in conjunction with our 004 Deeper Profile it creates a dot free effect which is very pleasing on the eye.
