Single Color LED Strip – Warm White

Sometimes, you don't need RGB or addressable effects. You need reliable, beautiful, single-color light. This mono color LED strip delivers exactly that – available in warm white (3000K) for a cozy, inviting glow or cool white (6000K) for bright, crisp task lighting.

Built with high-efficiency SMD LEDs and a constant voltage design (12V or 24V), this strip provides consistent brightness over long runs without the need for frequent power injection. With a high CRI of 90+, colors under this light look natural and true – no sickly green or washed-out tones. Whether you're illuminating kitchen countertops, showcasing a product display, or adding ambient cove lighting, this strip is the professional choice.

Key Features:

• Two Color Temperatures (Choose One):

  • Warm White (3000K): Soft, cozy, inviting – ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, restaurants, and hospitality.

  • Cool White (6000K): Bright, crisp, energizing – ideal for kitchens, task lighting, garages, retail, and offices.

• High CRI 90+ (Ra >90): Color Rendering Index above 90 means that warm whites look truly warm (not green), and cool whites look pure and clean. Whites under this strip render skin tones, food, and products accurately.

• LED Density Options:

  • 60 LEDs/m – Good balance of brightness and cost. Ideal for under-cabinet or cove lighting where the strip is hidden.

  • 120 LEDs/m – Higher density = brighter output and no visible hot spots or dotting. Best for exposed installations (e.g., display cases, shelves).

• Voltage Options (Select Your System):

  • 12V DC – Common, widely available. Good for smaller installations (up to 5–8m without injection).

  • 24V DC – Better for longer runs (up to 10–15m without injection). Lower current = thinner wires, less voltage drop. Recommended for professional installations.

• SMD LED Type:

  • SMD 2835 – Most common for mono strips. High efficiency (150+ lm/W), low heat.

  • SMD 5050 – Larger chip, slightly higher brightness (but less efficient than 2835). Often used for higher lumen output.

• High Brightness (Typical):

  • 60 LEDs/m (2835): ~800–1,200 lumens per meter

  • 120 LEDs/m (2835): ~1,600–2,200 lumens per meter

• Dimmable: Works with standard PWM dimmers (not compatible with AC triac dimmers). Pair with a 12V/24V LED dimmer for smooth 0–100% brightness control.

• Cuttable: Cut line marked every 3 LEDs (typically every 50mm or 25mm). Solder pads at each cut point for easy reconnection.

• Strong 3M Adhesive Backing: Pre-applied double-sided tape for quick, secure mounting on clean, dry surfaces.

• Flexible PCB: Available in white or black PCB (to match installation background). 8mm or 10mm width depending on LED density.

• Long Run Capability (24V advantage): 24V strips can run 10–15 meters before noticeable voltage drop – ideal for room perimeters or long hallways.

• Energy Efficient: Up to 150–200 lumens per watt. Low heat output, safe for extended use.

• Long Lifespan: 50,000+ hours (over 17 years at 8 hours/day).

How to Choose Warm White vs Cool White:

Installation Tips for Mono Strips:

1. Clean surface – Use isopropyl alcohol before applying adhesive.

2. Choose correct voltage – 24V for runs over 8 meters, 12V for shorter runs.

3. Power supply sizing: Total watts = watts per meter × meters × 1.2 (safety margin).

4. Dimming: Use a PWM dimmer between power supply and strip. Do NOT use AC dimmers.

5. Connections: Solder wire to cut points for reliability. Use solderless connectors for quick DIY.

6. Heat management: Aluminum channel + diffuser recommended for best appearance and heat dissipation.

7. Avoid tight bends: Minimum bend radius ~20–30mm.

Troubleshooting Common Issues:

Safety Notes:

• Do not exceed rated voltage (12V or 24V only).

• Ensure power supply is rated for total wattage +20%.

• IP20 strips are for indoor dry use only.

• Do not bend sharply – LEDs will lift off PCB.

• Always disconnect power before cutting or soldering.
