What does RGB SMD 5050 mean?
5050 SMDs used in RGB LED strip lighting The 5050 SMD is actually a ‘tri’ chip, meaning it has three smaller chips in every SMD. So each white LED actually has three white chips inside. 5050s can also be used for colour-changing LED tape, with red, green and blue chips inside each LED.
Is 5050 LED good?
The 5050 diodes are best suited for single color applications because of their intense brightness; if they were to use flashing colors, it would create eye issues for anyone staring at them. The 5050 LED uses about 60mA of power, has a surface area of 25mm squared, and a brightness of 22 lumens.
Is SMD 5050 addressable?
The most common types of SMD are: 3528, single colour, non-addressable, very low power; 5050, containing three LEDs allowing for RGB and addressable strips as well as higher power levels; 2835, a newer single-color SMD having the same surface dimensions as the 3528 but a larger emitter area and a thinner design with an …
Which is the brightest SMD LED?
SMD (Surface Mounted) 5730 series is the brightest LED strip because it contains powerful LEDs that can create a lot of light. It is important to note here that comparing one LED strip series to the other is like comparing apples to oranges.
How many lumens is a 5050 SMD LED?
Larger 5050 SMD LED chips are rated at 15 lumens per chip. Our most common 5050 bulb uses 24 chips, so its calculated lumen output is 360 lumens (15 x 24 = 360 lumens). You can use this same calculation for any competitor’s bulb with 5050 SMD chips, 15 lumens x number of chips = total specified lumens.
How do I choose RGB LED strips?
A good quality LED strip should provide at least 450 lumens per foot (1500 lumens per meter), which provides approximately the same amount of light output per foot as a traditional T8 fluorescent lamp. (E.g. 4-ft T8 fluorescent = 4-ft of LED strip = 1800 lumens).
What 5050 LED?
Simply put, these LED chips are called SMD 5050 because the dimensions of the chips are 5.0mm x 5.0mm. They have 3 LED diodes in one housing (sometimes called tri-chips), and are a lot brighter than individual 3528 LED chips.
