-LED light strip is a flexible lighting product, usually available in 2 categories. One is an SMD light strip, which consists of multiple small LED lights, usually encapsulated in soft plastic or silicone. The other is COB light strip. COB is the abbreviation of English “Chip-on-Board”, which means “chip patch packaging”. Unlike traditional SMD LED light strips, COB light strips integrate multiple LED chips on a small substrate to form a dense LED array. LED light strips have the characteristics of high brightness, low energy consumption, long life and flexibility, and are widely used in home decoration, commercial lighting, stage performances and other fields.

What types of light strips do SMD have?

SMD 3528: This is one of the common models in LED light strips. “SMD” stands for surface mount technology, while “3528” indicates the size of the LED chip, which is 3.5mm × 2.8mm. Usually have low power and lower brightness.
SMD 5050: It is also a common LED light strip model. “5050” means the size of the LED chip is 5.0mm × 5.0mm. Compared with the 3528 model, the 5050 model LED has higher brightness and power.
SMD 2835: This is a new type of LED light strip model. “2835” means the size of the LED chip is 2.8mm × 3.5mm. Compared with the 3528 model, the 2835 model LED has higher brightness and better heat dissipation performance.
SMD 3014: This type of LED light strip is usually used in situations where higher brightness but lower power consumption is required. Its dimensions are 3.0mm × 1.4mm.
SMD 5630: This is a high brightness LED light strip model. “5630” means the size of the LED chip is 5.6mm × 3.0mm. Usually have higher luminous efficiency and brightness.
SMD 3527: Similar to the 3528 model, but the chip size is slightly different, 3.5mm × 2.7mm. Typically used in applications requiring moderate brightness and power.

Where are each type of led light strips used?

SMD 3528: Due to its low power, it is often used for decorative lighting in low-light environments, such as home decoration, background lighting, cabinet lighting, etc.
SMD 5050: With high brightness and power, it is suitable for scenes that require brighter lighting effects, such as commercial lighting, outdoor landscape lighting, billboard lighting, etc.
SMD 2835: This type of LED light strip is usually used in situations that require high brightness and good heat dissipation performance, such as indoor lighting, commercial display cabinet lighting, work area lighting, etc.
SMD 3014: Due to its high luminous efficiency and low power consumption, it is suitable for occasions that require higher brightness but lower power consumption, such as advertising light boxes, decorative painting lighting, bedroom lighting, etc.
SMD 5630: With high brightness and high luminous efficiency, it is suitable for scenes that require extremely bright lighting effects, such as large commercial billboards, office lighting, garage lighting, etc.
SMD 3527: Similar to the 3528 model, but with slightly higher brightness, suitable for some decorative lighting with medium brightness and power, such as restaurant lighting, corridor lighting, study lighting, etc.
