LED light strips are by far the most convenient and efficient way to light your homes, offices, factories, and more. They are compact in size, flexible enough to fit tight spaces, and do not require as much energy as traditional sources of lighting. LED light strips leave a smaller carbon footprint because they do not emit heat the same way as traditional bulbs. They also do not emit any harmful gases or chemicals.
5050 and 3528 are probably the most popular LED light strips in the market right now. You can actually light your entire project using one or both of these strips. But how do you choose between them? The answer depends on a number of factors. Read on to see what these factors are and how you can use them to choose the best LED light strip for your lighting project.
2835 LED strip is basically a strip that has LED chips with the dimensions 28mm × 35mm mounted and 5050 LED strip is basically a strip that has LED chips with the dimensions 50mm × 5050mm mounted on it.
As mentioned above the 2835 SMDs can produce 360 to 720 lumens of light per meter of the light strip, depending on the LED density, however, the 5050 LED strip can produce up to a 1000 lumens per meter of light. This makes it perfect for lighting larger spaces like airports, hospitals, warehouses, factories, and more.
