Classic RGB LED Strip – Versatile Colour-Changing Lighting
Transform any space with dynamic colour lighting using our Classic RGB LED Strip. Perfect for creating ambient lighting, accent features, or eye-catching displays with millions of colour combinations at your fingertips.
RGB Technology Advantages:
-
Full colour spectrum – access millions of colours with smooth transitions and effects
-
SMD5050 LEDs – reliable technology delivering consistent colour output
-
60 LEDs per metre – even light distribution with good colour mixing
-
Energy efficient – only 14.4W per metre while delivering vibrant colours
-
Long lifespan – 30,000 hours of reliable operation
Perfect Applications:
-
Entertainment spaces – bars, restaurants, and gaming areas for dynamic atmosphere
-
Retail displays – highlight products with colour-changing accent lighting
-
Architectural features – cove lighting, under-cabinet, and decorative installations
-
Signage backlighting – add colour impact to displays and promotional materials
-
Home décor – create mood lighting for living spaces and bedrooms
Installation Advantages:
-
Flexible installation – no intermediate connections needed for runs up to 5m (see power planning for electrical requirements)
-
Cut exactly to length – 100mm intervals for precise fitting
-
Professional adhesive – pre-applied backing bonds to clean surfaces
-
Simple connection – compatible with all 12V LED drivers and RGB controllers
Power Planning Made Simple:
-
1 metre = 14.4W
-
3 metre run = 43.2W (typical application)
-
Up to 5m = 72W (requires 80W+ power supply for safety margin)
-
Up to 10m = Power from both ends (80W+ total power supply capacity)
-
Longer than 10m = Requires power injection every 5m to prevent dimming
