LED strips Extra Warm White 2400-2700K

You can use extra warm white LED strips as accent lighting or to highlight certain parts of the space. Since the color rendering index of these LED strips is also high (most are around 95), the light looks very pleasant and natural. The color rendering index of lighting is an indicator of how realistic the light appears. If it is above 85, the light will look very natural, while a value below 85 often means that the light appears unnatural and "fake."

If other lighting is present in the room, we always recommend matching the color temperature of the LED strip to it. For example, if the existing lighting has a color temperature of about 2700K, yellowish warm white, then the LED strips on this page will match perfectly.

Choose the LED Strip That Suits You

The light output of the different LED strips on this page varies. How bright an LED strip is can be determined by the power consumption per meter. For example, if you compare an extra warm white LED strip of 9.6 Watts per meter with an LED strip of 4.8 Watts per meter, the former is twice as bright. The amount of light an LED strip provides is roughly two-thirds that of an LED spotlight. Keeping this in mind, you can make a rough estimate of the amount of light you can expect. For example, if you place 2 meters of LED strip with a power of 4.8 Watts per meter, you have a total of 9.6 Watts of LED strip, which is roughly equivalent to 6 Watts of LED spotlights.

Choose a Matching Transformer

The LED strips on this page all operate on 12 or 24 Volts. This means you will also need a power adapter to connect them to 230V. The power adapter is chosen based on the wattage of the LED strip. For example, if you want to connect 9.6 Watts of LED strip as in the example above, you need a power adapter with at least 9.6 Watts. If you want to connect 10 meters of LED strip at 4.8 Watts per meter, the adapter must be at least 48 Watts. You can always choose an adapter slightly more powerful than necessary, as it will never deliver more current than required. The adapter only supplies the amount of power that is demanded. For example, if you connect 48 Watts of LED strip to a 60-Watt adapter, the power consumption will still only be 48 Watts. For more information and to order the power adapter, we recommend visiting the category page Power Supplies.

The difference between a 12 Volt and 24 Volt LED strip is mainly that a 24 Volt LED strip can be used in longer lengths because it suffers less from voltage drop. With a 24 Volt LED strip, lengths of 10-15 meters are often no problem. The light output is the same, and the LED strip looks identical. The only other difference is that a 12 Volt LED strip can usually be cut per 3 LEDs, and a 24 Volt LED strip per 6 LEDs.
If you want to connect longer lengths, you can also power both ends of the LED strip. We recommend this for lengths up to 20 meters. If you are going to install even longer lengths, you will need to power them separately. You can connect them to the same adapter, but you will need to run a separate power cable to each LED strip.

How Should I Order?

The LED strips on this page can be ordered by the roll up to a roll length of 5 meters. These lengths, however, can easily be soldered together to create a longer length. For example, you can simply solder 4 rolls of 5 meters together to make one 20-meter LED strip. Additionally, it is possible to connect LED strips in parallel, side by side. You can, for instance, lay 4 rolls of 5 meters next to each other and connect them all to one power adapter. As mentioned above, LED strips can be cut per 3 LEDs or 6 LEDs. This means you can create almost any length you want. After a LED strip is cut, you can always solder a cable to it to power it.

 

LED Strips Are Always Dimmable

All the LED strips on this page are dimmable. You can dim them using various dimmers. For example, you can find these on the page Single Color LED Strip Dimmers. They can also be connected to your smart home system using a suitable controller. Visit the page Smart Home Controllers for this. You can also dim the LED strips using your existing (traditional) phase-cut/phase-dim dimmer; in this case, you use a dimmable power supply. These can be found in the product category Triac Dimmable Power Supplies. On the product pages of the LED strips, you will also see relevant products that you can order to make your choice easier.
