The ILED-FX-3528 60 is a flexible LED strip built around the SMD 3528 package, laid out at 60 LEDs per meter. It is the standard, everyday member of the 3528 range: bright enough for general accent and feature lighting, but not as intense as the denser 120 piece version. That balance makes it the one most people reach for when they want a clean, even line of light that runs for many meters.
Aperçu des caractéristiques techniques
The strip runs on 12VDC, draws 4.8W per meter and puts out about 360 lumen per meter with a 120 degree spread. Colour rendering is CRI above 80 as standard and above 90 on request. Each piece ships as a 5 meter roll, 8mm wide, cuttable in 25mm steps.
What 60 LEDs per meter means
In the 3528 family the number of LEDs per meter sets the brightness. The 60 piece here sits in the middle: double the output of the 30 piece low-density strip, but half the draw of the 120 piece version. It gives a smooth, even line without the very high output of the densest strip, so it suits coves, under-cabinet and general accent work well while still running long lines without much trouble.
Choosing a colour
This is a static strip, so each piece is one single colour, not a mix you can change on the fly. You pick one of the seven available colours before ordering: red, green, blue, yellow, warm white, commercial white or cool white. The white options cover three temperatures, so warm white suits living spaces while cool white is cleaner for work areas. For accent or signage the red, green, blue and yellow single colours are the ones to use.
IP rating options
The same strip is offered in four protection ratings. IP20 is for dry indoor locations such as coves and cabinetry. IP65 is rated for covered outdoor and wet areas like eaves, canopies and facades. IP67 and IP68 are for where the strip gets fully wet, under water or in harsh coastal exposure. Match the rating to the location, not the highest one on the list.
Fabrication et installation
The strip cuts cleanly in 25mm increments, so you trim it to fit a run exactly instead of bending a longer piece. It is backed with 3M yellow double-sided tape, and a 3M red tape is available on request. A 15cm input cable is fitted to the leading end, and connector cables can be customized to a different length or plug. At 8mm wide it disappears into most coves and channels.
Contenu de la boîte
Each order ships with the strip as a 5 meter roll, the 3M yellow mounting tape, and the 15cm input cable on the connection end. Custom lengths are cut to order from the same roll.
Ce que vous devez fournir
You will need a 12VDC power supply sized for the total meters you are running, which the 4.8W per meter figure makes easy to add up. For dimming, a compatible 12V LED dimmer is available. If you are not hard-wiring, use a power adapter or driver that matches the 12V supply.
Où est-il utilisé ?
As a mid-brightness single colour strip it shows up in cove and ceiling lighting, under-cabinet and under-bed zones, display and shop window outlines, and picture lighting. Outdoors the IP65 and above versions handle eaves, facades and garden edges. The single colours also make it useful for simple signage and anywhere a fixed colour is what the design wants.
Durée de vie et fiabilité
The SMD 3528 LEDs carry a 50,000 hour rated life, which at typical use is well past a decade. There are no moving parts and no fan, so the strip does not fail through heat. It works from -20 C to 50 C, and because it draws a sensible 4.8W per meter it stays cool even in tight, low-ventilation installs.
