What do I need to control the color temperature and brightness?

You will need a CCT (Correlated Color Temperature) or dual white LED controller/dimmer, along with a compatible 24V DC power supply. The controller will have separate controls for warm white, cool white, and overall brightness.

What size power supply do I need for a full 5-meter reel?

A full 5-meter reel consumes 80 watts (5m × 16W/m). We recommend a power supply with at least 20% headroom, so you should use a 24V DC power supply rated for 96W or more.

Is this tunable white LED strip waterproof?

This specific model (IP20) is for indoor, dry locations only. However, we can provide IP65 (splash-proof), IP67 (water-resistant), and IP68 (submersible) versions upon special request for outdoor or bathroom projects.

Application Scenarios

Human-Centric Residential Lighting Install in coves, under cabinets, and behind headboards to create lighting that syncs with your body's natural circadian rhythm. Use this tunable white LED strip to transition from bright, cool light in the morning to a warm, relaxing glow in the evening.

Custom Architectural & Millwork Projects Ideal for lighting designers and contractors working on bespoke projects. The ability to cut the strip to any exact length ensures a flawless fit in complex architectural details, custom furniture, and integrated wall features without any dark spots.

Home Office & Task Lighting Create the perfect work environment by adjusting the color temperature. Set to a crisp 5000K-6000K for focused work and video calls, then shift to a softer 3000K for reading or winding down, reducing eye strain throughout the day.

How to Install & Use This LED Strip

Measure the required length and carefully cut the strip. Thanks to the 'cut anywhere' design, you can cut at any point. Solderless 8mm LED connectors are available.
Connect the strip to a compatible 3-pin CCT controller and a sufficient DC24V UL-listed power supply.
Briefly power on the strip to test the connection and ensure all LEDs and color temperatures are functioning correctly.
Peel the backing from the 3M adhesive tape and firmly press the strip onto the prepared surface, holding for 30 seconds for a secure bond.
For a professional finish and optimal heat dissipation, install the strip inside a LED aluminum profile. For a completely seamless look, consider a silicone neon diffuser.

⚠ Precautions

Do not exceed the maximum single run length of 5 meters to avoid voltage drop, which can cause dimming at the far end.
Ensure your power supply wattage is at least 20% greater than the strip's total power consumption (5m x 16W/m = 80W load → requires a 96W or higher power supply).

Q: What is the benefit of a high CRI of 97+?

A:A high CRI means the light source renders colors very accurately, similar to natural daylight. This is essential for applications where color perception is critical, such as in retail stores, art studios, makeup stations, and kitchens, making everything look more vibrant and true-to-life.

Q: Why should I choose a black PCB?

A:A black PCB is ideal for installations on dark-colored surfaces or inside fixtures with a dark interior. It helps the strip blend in and become virtually invisible when turned off, providing a cleaner, more professional aesthetic.
