LED strip lights provide a versatile and efficient lighting solution, ideal for both residential and commercial use. Available in single colour, RGB, RGBW, and tunable white (CCT) options, they offer precision lighting with excellent colour consistency and high efficiency. With durable PCB construction, flexible installation, and options ranging from indoor to fully waterproof IP68-rated strips, our collection ensures long-lasting performance. Whether for ambient, accent, or task lighting, explore our premium and value-series LED strips to find the perfect fit for your project.

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.

Bathroom Lighting Project – COB IP68 LED Strip Installation with PIR & Optional Smart Control

This project showcases a 5.5m bathroom LED strip installation using Hi-Line COB IP68 strips (available in 3000K, 4000K, and 6000K). A 100W 24V IP67 driver powers three lighting zones: under-basin, niche, and shower bench. Pre-soldered tails on both ends simplify cutting and reuse. For waterproofing, IP68 connectors, end caps, and silicone were used. Optional Zigbee smart control is supported for advanced setups. An SMD IP68 high-brightness strip (28W/m) is also available for projects prioritising output over dot-free lighting.

Understanding RGBW LED Strip Wattage and Wiring Considerations

RGBW LED Strip Power and Wiring Guide The 15W per metre rating for RGBW SMD5050 strips is the total when all four channels are active. As a rough estimate, divide by four per channel, but allow extra room—white usually draws more. These strips use a 24V common anode. The positive line carries the full current, so connectors and terminals must be rated accordingly. Always check per pin current limits, not just total load.
