this flexible multifunctional 5-volt RGB LED light strip with super bright multicolor 5050 LEDs features a self-adhesive backing.
Perfect for applications including:
Voltage requirements of this model are 5V DC. The 5V power requirements make them an excellent option for direct connection to anything with a USB port. You can quickly add lighting to a computer, television with a USB port, stand-alone USB power adapter or a separate 5v power supply.
For lengths more than 5 m, strings can be daisy-chained together. Care should be taken not to chain more than two 5 m lengths together due to voltage losses in the LED ribbon.
It is common to use the 60 LED per meter model with engraved sign edge lighting without worrying about power requirements. Typically the lengths used are very short (less than 15 cm or 6 inches). The higher density of light provides a superior display in this application.
LED Strip Power Requirements
The 5v RGB LED strips can operate safely up to 5.2v DC maximum. Anything higher than 5.2v may cause damage to the ribbon.
60 LEDs per Meter Model: One meter of the 60 LEDs per meter strip requires 900mA per color for each of the Red, Green and Blue elements. A full 1-meter length with all three colors operating at full intensity (which will generate the color white) will draw very close to 2,700mA (2.7A) total.
With the use of a simple RGB controller system, the current draw is substantially reduced by providing a PWM signal to the LED strip, and they have the added advantage of displaying various color combinations and animations.
