SMD3528 LED Strip

Product Description:

SMD3528 LED strip is a flexible lighting product with SMD3528 SMD LED lamp beads as the core component. It is widely used in decorative lighting, functional lighting and scene lighting. SMD3528 led strip is an older product. Due to its stable quality and low power, some customers still like to use it.

Easton Technology Co., Ltd.'s SMD3528LED Strip products include  60leds/m,120leds/M,240Leds/M. These products are available in12V & 24V specifications. They can also provide multiple protection levels such as IP20/IP65/IP67/IP68, and can be used in different application scenarios. Easton Technology can also provide power supplies, controllers, aluminum profiles and other related accessories. In addition, Easton Technology also provides customized services, including wire length, PCB width, LED QTY, connector specifications, logo, packaging, LED light strip length, etc.

SMD3528 LED Strip Features：

1. Structural and design features

High-density layout: SMD3528 light strips can be arranged in high density due to their small chip size (3.5mm×2.8mm), with dense light spots, uniform light, and no obvious dark areas.

Flexible substrate: Flexible PCB or FPC substrate is used, which can be bent to fit curved surfaces (such as round columns and curved furniture), with a minimum bending radius of about 3-5cm, adapting to complex installation environments.

Low-voltage power supply: Usually 12V/24V DC power supply, which needs to be used with an adapter or controller, with high safety, suitable for home or small commercial scenes.

2. Optical and electrical performance

Brightness and power: The single brightness is 5-8 lumens (lm) and the power is determined by the number of LEDs per meter.

The luminous efficiency is about 40-50 lm/W, the color rendering index (CRI) is ≥80, and the color temperature covers warm white (2200K) to cool white (6500K).

Uniformity and light spot: The light is soft and uniform under high-density layout, but the single light angle is about 120°, and a slight dot-shaped light spot may appear when there is no lens on the surface of the light strip.

3. Installation and functional design

Flexible cutting: Supports cutting at fixed length (usually every 3/6 LEDs is a cutting point), and users can customize the length without professional tools.

Ready to use: 3M glue is pre-applied on the back, and it can be directly pasted on a flat surface (such as wooden cabinets, gypsum boards), which is easy to install.

Waterproof level: Optional bare board (IP20), drip glue (IP65), silicone sleeve (IP67) or full glue encapsulation (IP68) to meet the needs of different indoor and outdoor environments.

4. Application scenarios

Home decoration: cabinet/wardrobe backlight, TV wall contour lighting, bed bottom/stair step atmosphere light, creating a dark area-free effect through high-density light spots.

Commercial space: retail store shelf lighting, hotel corridor decoration, advertising light box filling light source, low-cost realization of basic lighting needs.

Auxiliary lighting: automotive interior (pedals, dashboards), small display cabinet lighting, using its low heat generation and flexible installation characteristics.

5. Comparison of advantages and disadvantages

Advantages: Low cost, suitable for large-area installation; Disadvantages: Low brightness of a single light, unable to meet high brightness requirements (such as workbench lighting)

Advantages: High-density layout, uniform light; Disadvantages: Long-term use may cause light decay due to insufficient heat dissipation (need to be matched with aluminum trough heat dissipation) 

Advantages: Flexible installation, support for cutting and bending; Disadvantages: Only supports monochrome light, does not support RGB dynamic color 

Advantages: Low voltage safety, suitable for DIY projects; Disadvantages: Low light efficiency (compared to SMD2835 light strip)
