What is the difference between the 3528 and 5050 soft lights?

When buying flexible light strips, we often see these two numbers, 3528 and 5050, so what do these two series of numbers mean? I believe many people are not very clear.

First, let me explain that the light strip refers to welding the LED lamp beads on a copper wire or a strip-shaped flexible circuit board with a special process, and then connects to a power source to emit light. It is named because it is shaped like a light strip when it emits light.

The light strip is a kind of decoration and setting up the atmosphere, through the light to create a fascinating display space and display image, using a variety of lighting methods to display the theme image, let people associate, arouse people's spiritual resonance, and establish mutual emotions communicate with. It is widely used in modern home decoration, outdoor bridges, buildings, bars, etc. One is to play a decorative role, and in many cases also to take into account the role of lighting.

chip

3528 and 5050 actually refer to the model of the LED lamp beads, not the lamp strip, which does not have a model.

The 5050 light strip and the 3528 light strip are actually the difference in the size of the internal lamp bead chip. The 5050 LED strip means that the length of the bead chip is 5.0mm and the width is 5.0mm. Similarly, the 3528 LED strip means that the length of the bead is 3.5mm and the width is 2.8mm.

5050 is made on the basis of 3528 according to market demand. The best distinction in appearance is that 5050 lamp beads are square, and 3528 is rectangular. Therefore, the 5050 circuit board is wider than the 3528.

In terms of the number of LED chips and luminous intensity, the 5050 strip has 3 LED chips, while the 3528 strip has only one LED chip, so correspondingly, the luminous intensity of the 5050 strip is higher than the intensity of the 3528 strip. That is, the 5050 light strip is brighter than the 3528 light strip.

Power and current intensity

The 5050 light strip uses 0.18W and the drive current intensity is 60mA, while the 3528 light strip uses 0.06W and the drive current intensity is 20mA.

Spectral brightness

Because of the use of 3 lamp beads, the 5050 light strip has a higher spectral brightness than that of the 3528 light strip. In terms of value, the 5050 light strip has a spectral brightness of 4500-5500-6500, while the 3528 light strip has a spectral intensity. 2000-2400-2800.

Single lamp lumen value

The difference in power also makes the single lamp lumen value of the two light strips different. The lumen value of 5050LED strip is 15LM and 18LM, while the single lamp lumen value of 3528LED strip is 7LM

performance

The luminous intensity of the light strip mainly depends on the chip of the lamp bead and the size of the current. Because the chips used in the lamp beads of the two lamp strips are different, the lamp beads of the 5050 lamp strip are larger than the 3528 lamp beads and the chip material is better, so the light output of the 5050 lamp strip is stronger.

In general, the 5050 light strip is developed on the basis of the 3528 light strip. In terms of performance, the 5050 light strip has better performance than the 3528 light strip, and the brightness is higher. Different power brightness is to adapt to different Use environment, when choosing the light strip, also pay attention to which one is suitable.
