How we state watts per metre on an LED strip

15 W per metre is the most a short length of the Premium 528 can draw. A 5 metre reel fed only at both ends measured 12.48 W per metre. This note explains that reading, the Cut Anywhere strip, and why fewer watts can still be the same light.

Common-core current, connectors and voltage drop on 3- to 6-core LED ribbon

Connectors are not universal: poles, 24/22/20 AWG and strip width all have to match. On 3- to 6-core CCT, RGB, RGBW and RGB+CCT tape the shared positive carries the whole load. Size that common core, the voltage drop and the driver from all channels on — and put those figures on the drawing.

How to size a 24V driver for RGBW PWM lighting

The labelled watts on RGBW PWM lamps and strips are nominal. All four channels on, especially once warm, is the real load. 20% spare is the minimum; around 50% is what we use on this type of ceiling install. Worked example: the 6W MR16 spotlight.
