Why does this LED strip require an aluminum channel?

This is a professional-grade, high-power strip (16W/m) that produces significant heat. An aluminum channel acts as a heat sink, dissipating the heat to prevent damage and ensure a long lifespan for the LEDs.

Is the wiring for this strip standard?

No, it is not. Please pay close attention during installation: the red wire is for Ground (Negative/-) and the black wire is for Positive (+V). This is the reverse of the common convention.

What is the benefit of the 660nm red light wavelength?

The 660nm wavelength is a specific deep red light that is highly absorbed by plant chlorophyll for photosynthesis and is widely studied for its beneficial effects in red light therapy for skin health and tissue recovery.

How is this strip different from your other 660nm strips?

This model (FSLSR-240-2835-660NM) features our highest density of 240 LEDs per meter using efficient SMD2835 chips, delivering the most intense and uniform 660nm light output in our single-row catalog.

Can I cut this strip to a custom length?

Yes, it's designed for customization. The 12V version can be cut every 12.5mm (3 LEDs), and the 24V version can be cut every 25mm (6 LEDs) at the designated copper markings.

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

The full 5-meter (16.4ft) reel consumes 80 watts. We recommend using a power supply with at least 96W capacity (80W x 1.2) to ensure stable and safe operation. Choose the correct voltage (12V or 24V) to match your strip.

Application Scenarios

Red Light Therapy & Wellness Devices The specific 660 nm red light wavelength is highly sought after for its therapeutic benefits. This strip's high density makes it perfect for constructing custom red light therapy panels, sauna lighting, and wellness devices for skin rejuvenation and recovery, delivering potent and even irradiation.

Horticulture and Indoor Farming Deep red light at 660nm is a critical component of the photosynthetic spectrum, strongly influencing flowering and fruiting. Use this strip as a primary or supplemental light source in grow tents, vertical farms, and greenhouses to significantly boost plant development and yield.

Specialized Aquarium & Terrarium Lighting While not a standalone solution, this 660nm strip can be integrated into custom lighting arrays for planted aquariums and vivariums. It provides the essential red spectrum that promotes lush growth in aquatic and terrestrial plants, enhancing their color and vitality.

How to Install & Use High-Power 660nm LED Strip

Connect the wires to a compatible 12V or 24V power supply. IMPORTANT: The red wire is Negative (GND) and the black wire is Positive (+V). Reversing polarity will damage the strip.
For dimming, wire a single color dimmer between the power supply and the high-power 660nm LED strip.

⚠ Precautions

⚠ HEAT DISSIPATION: This is a high-power 16W/m 660nm strip and generates significant heat. It MUST be installed in an aluminum channel or on a metal surface to prevent overheating and ensure longevity.
⚠ WIRING POLARITY: Please double-check wiring. Unlike standard LED strips, for this model the RED wire is NEGATIVE (GND) and the BLACK wire is POSITIVE (+V).
Due to its high power, hardwiring is recommended over using barrel connectors for a stable, long-term connection.

Ensure your power supply has at least 20% more capacity than the total wattage of the strip length you are using (e.g., a 5m strip at 80W requires at least a 96W power supply).
