Do you know what’s the difference for the 3528 led strip light, and 5050 led strip light?

Today, let’s learn some differences between this 2 model led strip light.

1. led chip size: 5050 led strip light use led chip size in 5mm * 5mm, 3528 led strip light use led chip size in 3.5mm*2.8mm. The chip size of 5050 is bigger than 3528, so normally, it will brighter than 3528.

2. PCB width: 5050 led strip light use the 10mm width PCB, 3528 led strip light use 8mm width PCB1 600x224 - LED Strip Lights Application Guide

3. Luminance: We often make 5050 led chip in 16lm, 18-20 lm or 22-24lm per led, while 3528 led chip in 5lm or 7-8lm.

4. Led power: 5050 led chip is about 0.24w per led, 3528 led chip is 0.04 w per led. So the power of 5050 is higher than in 3528, it is also a reason why 5050 is brighter than 3528.

5. Led Quantities of per meter: 5050 led strip is standard to make 30leds/m strip led, 60leds/m strip led, 120leds/m double row strip led, 3528 is made 60leds/m strip led, 120leds/m strip led,240leds/m double row strip led.

6. RGB color construction: 5050 led chip RGB is three chips in one led, there are three-chip RGB led one group. So when to use the controller to change, it can make the whole strip in the same color .red color, or blue color … while 3528 it is 1 chip in one led, so its RGB color is 3 single color led chip in one group, it is red, green, blue circulation, it can’t change the whole strip in the same color.
