Description

The 5050 LED Strip Light is the undisputed champion of brightness and vibrant color. This flexible strip is built with the powerful and versatile SMD5050 LED chip, which is significantly larger and brighter than smaller chips. Each 5050 chip contains three individual diodes (a “tri-chip”), making the 5050 LED Strip Light the perfect solution for both brilliant single-color applications and stunning, seamless color-mixing in RGB and RGBW configurations. Whether you’re creating immersive accent lighting for a home theater, eye-catching displays for a commercial space, or powerful task lighting, this strip delivers the high-impact performance you need.

Why Choose a 5050 LED Strip Light?

The 5050 LED Strip Light is a favorite for high-performance applications due to the unique capabilities of its chip.

• Exceptional Brightness: The large surface area of the 5050 chip allows it to produce a significantly higher lumen output, making it ideal for situations where you need bright, powerful light.
• Perfect for RGB: The 3-in-1 tri-chip design is the key to its vibrant color-changing ability. By housing red, green, and blue diodes in one package, it can produce a seamless blend of millions of colors. You can learn more about this process in this guide to RGB and RGBW technology.
• Versatility: We offer this strip in a full range of configurations, from standard 30 or 60 LEDs/meter densities for general accent lighting, all the way up to an ultra-bright 120 LEDs/meter for maximum impact.

Customizing Your 5050 LED Strip Light

Select the perfect version of the 5050 LED Strip Light for your project:

• Single Color: Choose this for powerful task or accent lighting in a single color like Warm White or Blue.
• RGB: The classic color-changing option, allowing you to create millions of colors with an RGB controller.
• RGBW: This premium version adds a dedicated white chip alongside the RGB diodes. This provides a much purer, higher-quality white light than the mixed white from an RGB strip, giving you the best of both worlds.

Applications and Installation

The high brightness and color capabilities of the 5050 LED Strip Light make it perfect for:

• Cove Lighting and Architectural Accents: Create bold, dramatic effects with vibrant, wall-washing color.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the main difference between a 5050 and a 2835 LED strip? A: A 5050 LED Strip Light uses larger chips that are typically brighter and are the standard for RGB color-changing applications due to their 3-in-1 design. A 2835 strip uses smaller, newer chips that are highly efficient and are often considered the best choice for high-quality, single-color white light applications.

Q: Do I need a special controller for the RGB/RGBW versions? A: Yes. To control the colors, you will need an appropriate controller (4-pin for RGB, 5-pin for RGBW) and a DC power supply with sufficient wattage to power your desired length.
