LED STRIP SMD 5050, 14,4W/m (72W/5m) 12V, water resistant IP65, high CRI90, 4000K

LED light strip - HELMEILE

In the Helmeile strip light we use SMD 5050 LED circuit with a colour rendering index of over 90. This LED strip is dimmable and waterproof (non-yellowing surface). Our LED strip is easy to fix with the 3M very strong adhesive tape. The 14,4W/m flat -led strip is equivalent in luminous intensity to almost 120cm of fluorescent tube, so you will save a lot of electricity with this solution!

For general lighting

Our Helmeile strip has a light output of 14.4W/m and 60 LED circuits per metre. This makes the light sufficiently uniform for indirect lighting and countertop lighting, for example. When mounted on an aluminium profile, the spotlight is only noticeable when viewed directly from the front. When indirectly illuminated through a wall, the light is uniform. The CRI of the strip is over 90, which is a ton of excellent and suitable for use in home lighting.

Installation

In addition to the LED strip, a driver, an aluminium profile and operating switches are required to install the LED strip.

The LED strip comes in 5m rolls and can be cut to size in increments of 5cm. The strip has clear markings to make cutting easier. We recommend soldering the strips together, as we have found that the quick-release fasteners loosen over time and loosening causes the lights to flash. Both ends of the tape have pre-soldered connectors that can be used depending on the destination.

We recommend powering from both ends if the strip is more than 5m in a continuous length. This prevents light loss and provides an equally bright light from both ends. The Led strip should always be attached to an aluminium strip to allow excess heat to be conducted away from the LED circuitry. This extends the life of the LED strip and keeps the warranty valid. Aluminium profiles can be ordered from our online shop, where they are available in a variety of different types.

The LED strip works well with solar power, boats and cars that use 12VDC, then a separate power supply is not required. In other cases, order a 12V power supply suitable for the strip (e.g. 5m 14,4W is 72W in total, so any 12V power supply above 80W will do).

The installation of unplugged drivers is electrical work and requires adequate qualifications. We are happy to help with any installation questions.

Dim

For dimming your LED strip you can use either a traditional rotary wired dimmer or our VaLO RF series wireless dimmer. When using a conventional rotary dimmer, the driver of the LED strip must be TRIAC dimmable. The strips can also be controlled by DALI systems. Wireless dimming is perfect for applications where there is no wall switch for the light, but the light is powered by a constant current.

In the case of a smart home, a Zigbee driver and controllers for wireless control are chosen. In Zigbee drivers, the receiver is already built-in.

With the VaLO RF wireless solution, you simply install the receiver between the LED strip and the power supply. You can then control the strip with wireless switches from wherever you want. The wireless switch is powered by batteries, which are easily replaceable. You can also mount the switch on the wall if you wish, but it does not need a separate power supply.

Create your own light

Why use an LED strip only for traditional applications when you can make a light from almost anything? Create your own wall light by bending the LED strip and the aluminium profile into the shape you want, or by fixing the LED strip to another heat-conducting material. Turn a mirror, table frame, trunk, table or chair into a lamp with the LED strip. A good design is half the job. We are happy to help you with your design, and we make LED strip made to measure at LedStore's LedShop.
