12V RGBW LED Strip (RGB+CW) 14.4W/m- IP00-CRI80-12mm/3oz PCB-5m Roll

12 Volts Commercial high-grade RGBW - RGB + Cool White LED strip with quad chip (4 colours in 1 chip)

14.4W/m – 12V DC – 5m roll – 60 LEDs/m – IP00 (Non-Waterproof) – 5-wire cable (15cm on each side of the strip roll)

Our 12mm LED strips are powered by 3oz high copper flexible PCB, which makes it possible to maintain a cooler operating temperature despite very high brightness. This also ensures less voltage drop, which is useful for installations which require longer runs; up to 10m can be powered from one end only, without causing a noticeable reduction in brightness. Overall, 12mm results in a longer lifespan of the LED strip, with a consistently strong performance throughout.

Using 12V LED Strips is generally advised for smaller installations, such as in vehicles or other applications where a 12V battery is required. For home and office installations, please consider 24V LED Strips.

This new design of RGBW LED strip integrates all 3 primary colours (Red/Green/Blue) + Cool White in a single chip. Due to this innovative design (4 in 1 chip), the strip is brighter than the conventional RGB + W strips, which have one chip for RGB and another one for white.

The RGBW LED strips are powered by high-quality quad SMD5050 LED chips. The brightness of each chip is 20 lumens.

The power consumption is 14.4W per meter, which means an average of 3.6W per colour per meter.

Excellent colour rendering index (CRI) – all chips reach a value of Ra >80.

Red LED channel: wavelength 625nm

Green LED channel: wavelength 525nm

Blue LED channel: wavelength 470nm

For more information on RGB readings, please see our Wavelength Article.

The strip can be cut every 3 LEDs (5cm). The width of the LED strip is 12mm.

Fitted with an easy to install original 3M adhesive tape with excellent adhesion.

*5-year warranty:

*This LED tape should be installed according to our installation instructions. For more information on installing, please see the installation manual at the bottom of the page and to learn more about the 5 year warranty on offer, please refer to the following link:

LED Strip Warranty Guide

______________________________

The high quality of Hi-Line LED strip products ensures low decay, which increases the LED strip's lifespan and assures that the high level of the brightness is kept constant throughout the LED strip's life.

Please do NOT connect more than 10 meters of a LED strip in series. A LED strip of more than 10 meters in length is overloaded due to the increased amount of current passing through, resulting in the damage of the PCB and the failure of the LED strip. Please note that 10m of this product can be installed in a single run with power only fed from one side. Thus, when 10 meters of the LED strip is exceeded (for up to 20m), it is suggested to connect the strip to a 12V DC power supply in the middle of the run (leaving 10 meters of the LED strip to the left and 10 meters to the right).

Please note that this data is based on the average readings for a 5-meter long LED strip. If the length of the strip is 1 meter the power consumption will be higher as there is almost no voltage drop. For comparison, the test result for 1m RGBW LED strip with 14.4W and 60 LEDs showed a power consumption of 18.48W

Installation hints and tips for LED strips can be downloaded at the bottom of this web page.

_____________________________

The RGBW LED strip comes with a 15cm wire ending on each side of the strip roll. Therefore, no extra soldering is required if the roll should be cut into 2 different pieces (i.e. 3 meters + 2 meters).

Please note that soldering is recommended for the connection of LED strips. However, if a solder-free connection is preferred, Hi-Line’s solder-free connectors offer the best solution currently available on the market.

______________________________

All Hi-Line LED strips are dimmable. Please select a suitable PWM LED dimmer/controller to ensure the proper dimming of the LED strip.

All Hi-Line RGB and RGBW LED strips are fully compatible with Fibaro RGBW LED Controller, Rako or ANY common anode LED controller available on the market.

Selection of the LED driver depending on the maximum LED strip length

The table below shows the maximum LED strip length, which can be operated with a given LED driver.

To consider best power supply performance 20% was deducted from the maximum strip length in the table below.

Note that, for driving RGBW LED Strips, you will have to combine the LED-Driver with an RGB/RGBW LED Controller.

In such case, the LED driver is not required to be dimmable. Brightness control (dimming) and colour adjustment are still possible through the LED controller.
