LED-Strip MQ3528-24-120D-CW, cold white, IP68, silicone, 5-m-reel

METOLIGHT LED strip MQ3528-24-120D-CW - cold white

LED strip in professional quality, 24 V DC, 5-m-roll, 6000K

120 LEDs / m, 9,6W / m, 48 W / roll, LED spacing 8 mm, IP68, silicone coating + silicone tube

The LED strip series MQ3528 are designed for professional use. They are characterized by numerous technical details, which significantly stand out METOLIGHT LED strips from cheap LED strips from the supermarket or hardware stores. METOLIGHT LED-Strips only use high-performance EPISTAR SMD-LEDs type 3528 with an efficiency of over 120 lm / W (white), fixed to flexible polyimide circuit board having 35 µm Cu layer by silver solder paste. Thus a long-term function and consistent LED brightness over the entire roll length of 5 meters is assured. It can be extended to maximum 3 rolls, then power must be supplied from the power supply again.
For low-cost products, the Cu layer is usually only 9 microns, so a series of several LED strips leads to strong heating and significant loss of brightness. With cheap RoHS solder pastes based on bismuth it comes increasingly to contact fractures, causing LED segments to be off.

The series MQ3528-24-120D is silicone coated and embedded in a silicone tubes to meet IP-Class IP68. This tube is suitable for any outdoor application also under water usage.

Application areas:
The LED strip with protection class IP68 (Code D) may be used in outdoor areas for general decorative lighting. It may be operated under water. Application areas are garden lighting, decorating outdoor, pool lighting, under roof installation etc.

Delivery forms:
We provide these LED Strip exclusively B2B to specialist dealers or installers. The minimum order is 10 rolls of 5 meters.
The series MQ3528-24-120D LED strips are available in the colors 3000K (warm white), 4000K (naturel white), 6000K (cool white), red (620-630 nm), yellow (585-595 nm), green (510 -525 nm) and blue (450-470 nm).
In other versions of the LED strips are also available for 12 VDC, as well as in IP20, IP54 and IP67

Installation:
This LED strip has not adhesive tape in back side. it can be fixed by special clamps 8available as option) or by cable ties. Sticking on wood or other heat insulating surfaces leads to overheating and thus shortened shelf life of the LEDs. We recomment to fix on metal surfaces

Electrical connection:
The LED strip must be connected to a stabilized power supply with 24 V DC output voltage, optionally also to respective batteries. Please pay attention to correct polarity. The red connection cable leading to the positive terminal of the power supply. The use of cheap, unregulated power supplies may damage the LED Strip, since such power supplies usually make a significantly higher output voltage (depending on the load connected).
