5050 led strip means the light sources are 50*50mm size surface-mounted device light-emitting diodes, which are fixed on a slim FPCB. It has a large luminous surface area (round light emitting square lamp beads).
5050 led chip can be made into single color, RGB color, RGBW color, RGBCCT color, and UV light color. Often used as indoor/outdoor accent lighting and decorative lighting. DC5V/12/24V low voltage input, high light efficient and stable performance.
5050 vs 3528/2835
The light output of 5050 SMD LED is 3 times that of 3528/2835 SMD LED, it makes 5050 led strip lights are suitable for airport and, warehouses, factories and other bright lighting.
