LED strips Warm White 2700-3000K

The color rendering index of most LED strips on this page is 95, which means the light looks very natural and is therefore suitable as a light source in a room.

If there is other lighting 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 2700-3000K, the LED strips on this page will be suitable for use in the same room.

Choose the Light Output That Suits You

The brightness of the various LED strips on this page varies. You can determine how bright the light from an LED strip is by its energy consumption per meter. For example, if you compare a 9.6 Watt per meter LED strip with a 4.8 Watt per meter LED strip, the first will be twice as bright. The amount of light a LED strip produces per Watt is usually about two-thirds of that of a 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 will have a total of 9.6 Watts of LED strip, which roughly equals 6 Watts of LED spotlights.

Choosing a Power Adapter

All LED strips on our website operate at 12 Volts or 24 Volts. This means you need a power adapter to connect them to the mains voltage (outlet or light point). The adapter is chosen based on the wattage of the LED strip. For example, if you want to connect 9.6 Watts of LED strip, you need a power adapter with at least 9.6 Watts. If you want to connect 10 meters of LED strip with 4.8 Watts per meter, the adapter must have a minimum of 48 Watts (10 x 4.8W). You can always choose an adapter that is slightly more powerful than necessary, as it will never supply more power than required. The adapter only provides the amount of power requested. For example, if you connect 48 Watts of LED strips to a 60 Watt adapter, the power consumption will still be 48 Watts. For more information on this and to order the power adapter, we recommend visiting the category page Power Supplies.

Should you choose a 12 Volt or 24 Volt LED strip? Actually, both LED strips are almost identical. The only difference is that a 24 Volt LED strip can be installed in longer lengths because it is less affected by voltage drop (power loss). With voltage drop, the last meters of the LED strip light up less brightly because power is lost over long distances. However, with a 24 Volt LED strip, lengths of 10-15 meters are not a problem. Otherwise, there is no difference from a 12 Volt LED strip: the light output is the same, and the LED strip looks the same. The only small difference is that a 12 Volt LED strip can usually be cut every 3 LEDs, while a 24 Volt LED strip can be cut every 6 LEDs. For example, a 12 Volt LED strip can be cut every 5 cm, whereas with the 24V version, this can only be done every 10 cm.
If you want to install very long LED strips, you can also power both sides of the LED strip. We recommend this for lengths up to 20 meters. If you're installing even longer lengths, you'll need to power each section separately. You can connect the different parts of the LED strip to the same adapter, but you'll need to run a separate power cable to each LED strip.

How Do I Order the LED Strip in the Correct Length?

You can order the LED strips on this page in 50 cm increments, up to the maximum roll length of 5 meters. If you order more LED strips, they will be delivered on multiple rolls of up to 5 meters. However, you can easily solder these lengths together to create a longer length. So, you can simply solder 4 rolls of 5 meters together to create a 20-meter LED strip. 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. As mentioned above, you can cut LED strips every 3 LEDs or 6 LEDs. So, you can make almost any length you want. After a LED strip is cut, you can always solder a cable back on to connect it to the power supply.

LED Strips Are Always Dimmable

The LED strips on this page are dimmable. How you want to dim them depends entirely on your preferences. You can find many types of dimmers on the page Single Color LED Strip Dimmers. You can also connect LED strips to your smart home system using an appropriate smart home controller. Go to the page Smart Home Controllers for more information. You can also dim the LED strips with your existing (traditional) phase-cut dimmer; in this case, you will need 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 find relevant products that you can order together, making the choice a little easier.
