LED Strip Cool white 6000-6500K
LED strips in the color cool white (6000-6500K) emit a cooler, bright white light. This bright white tone is often very suitable for functional spaces where as much clear light as possible is needed. This can be a workspace or garage, but also public spaces or offices. This white tone ensures optimal light output, where the space and all objects within it are illuminated as clearly and brightly as possible. The color is pure white and contains no blue or weak blue tones.

How much light do I need and which LED strip should I order for that?
The LED strips on this page all have different light outputs. Which one should you choose for your application? The easiest way to compare different types of lighting is to look at the wattage. For an LED strip, the wattage is always indicated per meter. Example: You compare an LED strip of 9.6 Watts per meter with an LED strip of 4.8 Watts per meter. The strip of 9.6W per meter is twice as bright as the one of 4.8 Watts per meter. The amount of light an LED strip produces per Watt is generally about two-thirds of that of an LED spot. This rule of thumb can help you estimate the expected light output. For example, if you install 2 meters of LED strip with a consumption of 4.8 Watts per meter, you have a total of 9.6 Watts of LED strip, which corresponds to 6 Watts of LED spots.
Do I need a power adapter for this LED strip?
Yes, all LED strips on our website operate at 12 Volts or 24 Volts. Therefore, you need a power adapter. But which power adapter do you need? This depends on the total wattage of your LED lighting. Example: If you want to connect 14.4 Watts of LED strip, you need a power adapter with at least 14.4 Watts. If, for instance, you want to connect 10 meters of LED strip at 14.4 Watts per meter, the adapter must be at least 144 Watts (10 x 14.4 W). You can always choose a slightly more powerful adapter than required, as it will never supply more power than needed. Another example: You can connect 48 Watts of LED strip to a 60 Watt adapter, and the power consumption will not exceed 48 Watts; the adapter will adjust accordingly. For more information and to order the power adapter, we recommend visiting the category page Power Supplies.
I need an LED strip in a specific length, how do I order it?
You can order all our LED strips in increments of 50 cm up to the maximum roll length of 5 meters (in some cases 20 meters). If you order more LED strip, you will receive it on multiple rolls of max. 5 meters. However, you can easily solder these lengths together to create a longer length. For example, you can simply solder 4 rolls of 5 meters together to create one LED strip of 20 meters. Furthermore, it is also possible to connect LED strips in parallel, side by side. For example, you can place 4 rolls of 5 meters side by side and connect them all to one power adapter. You can also cut LED strips. Often, this can be done every 5 cm or 10 cm. You can therefore create almost any length you want. After cutting an LED strip, you can solder a cable to it to connect it to the power supply.
Are LED strips dimmable?
Yes, LED strips are always dimmable. You can dim them in various ways, from a simple rotary knob to an app on your phone. For all suitable dimmers, check out the page Single-Color LED Strip Dimmers. The 6000-6500K LED strips on this page are single-color, which means they have 1 channel and cannot change color. Therefore, it is best to use single-color dimmers or controllers for these strips.
Would you like to dim your LED strips using your existing traditional (leading-edge or trailing-edge) dimmer? That is also possible; in that case, order a Triac dimmable power adapter.
