LED Strip 24V RGBIC | COB DIGITAL | 5m | 360LED/m | 9W/M | IP20

Rated Power

What it consumes, not how much light it gives. To compare light, look at the lumens.

Nominal Voltage

The voltage it connects to. 220-240V goes straight to the mains; 12V or 24V needs a separate driver.

Colour

Light colour: 3,000K warm (living room, bedroom), 4,000K neutral (kitchen, office), 6,000K cool (warehouses, outdoors).

Energy Rating (2021-UE-2019/2015)

European rating from A to G. The scale is very demanding: most quality LEDs are D to F.

Number & Type of LEDs

How many chips it has and of what type. SMD: even light; COB: concentrated light, typical of spotlights.

Beam Angle (º)

Width of the light beam. Narrow (15-36º) to highlight an object; wide (90-120º) to light an area.

Luminous diodo LED (Lm/W)

Efficacy of the LED chip alone, in the lab. It shows the chip quality; the real light output is the product’s luminous efficacy.

Certifications

Marks that certify safety and quality: CE mandatory in Europe, RoHS free of hazardous substances, TÜV tested by an independent lab.

IP

Protection against dust and water. IP20 dry indoor areas; IP44 bathrooms and kitchens; IP65 outdoors in the open; IP68 submersible.

Diode Life Expectancy (H)

Hours until the LED loses 30% of its light. 50,000 h is about 17 years at 8 hours a day.

Frequency (Hz)

Mains frequency: 50 Hz in Europe, 60 Hz in the Americas. 50/60 Hz products work with both.

Temperature Range (ºC)

Ambient temperature in which it works properly. Outside that range it degrades and the warranty is lost.

On/Off Cycles

On/off switches it can take without shortening its life. It matters with motion sensors.

Construction Material

Body material. Aluminium dissipates heat better and extends the LED’s life; plastic is lighter and cheaper.
