LED Strip Light Colours

Basic Technical Data

  • Standard length: 5 meters/reel
  • Strip width: 8mm
  • Printed circuit board thickness: 0.25mm
  • Working voltage: 12V DC
  • Working current: 2 A
  • Entire Strip LED quantity: 300pcs (for single color) /150pcs (for RGB colour changing)
  • Size of smallest unit 3 LED (L x W ): 72mm x 8mm
  • Weight: 0.15Kg/reel (5meters per reel)
  • Brightness: 40 – 48 Lux per LED

Key Features

  • Low Power Consumption – (Up to 90% energy savings over Neon).
  • Long Life – (100,000 Hours Typically – over 11 years in continuous use).
  • Rugged and Reliable – (No glass to break as with Neon or Fluorescent).
  • Quick,Simple Installation – (Easy plug together design).
  • High Brightness – (LED types available include Standard, Superbright & Ultrabright options).
  • No Colour Fade – (LED’s emit a single colour wavelength so don’t rely on filters which can fade over time).
  • Low Maintenance – (LED’s offer fit and forget designs which need minimum servicing).

Assembly Information

Solder connection should only be performed on designated solder pads (marked “ +/-”).  During soldering, don’t exceed the maximum soldering time of 10 seconds and the maximum soldering temperature of 260o Celsius.

The smallest unit (72mm – 3 LEDs) can be removed by cutting with scissors between the designated solder pads.

The mounting of the strip is facilitated by means of the double-sided adhesive on the back-surface of the ribbon. Care must be taken to provide a clean and dry mounting surface, free of oils or silicone coatings and dirt.  The mounting substrate must have sufficient structural integrity.  Take care to completely remove the adhesive backing.  Once the strip is appropriately positioned, press on the strip with about 20N/cm2 (refer to application techniques of 3M adhesive transfer tapes).

The minimum bending radius is 2 cm.  The strip may be bent over a smaller radius of the circuit board containing no electronic components and such bends should be made once and fixed in position to avoid cyclic fatigue.

Dimming Flexstrip using CBUS (0-10v)

If you need to dim Tigerlight LED flexstrip on CBUS, we recommend you use the Atco C001 Driver.
The C001 has 3 channels, 2A/24W per channel and you can run the following lengths off each channel;

  • Warm White 8m (3w per metre)
  • Daylight 8m (3w per metre)
  • RGB 5m (4.5w per metre)

Note; if using Darly or DSI a different driver is needed.

Safety Information

  • The SMD flexible strip light itself and all its components may not be mechanically stressed.
  • Assembly must not damage or destroy conducting paths on the circuit board.
  • Installation of LED modules (with power supplies) needs to be made with regard to all applicable electrical and safety standards.  Only qualified personnel should be allowed to perform installations.
  • Correct electrical polarity needs to be observed.  Wrong polarity may destroy the strip.
  • Parallel connection is highly recommended as safe electrical operation mode.
  • Serial connection is not recommended.  Unbalanced voltage drop can cause hazardous overload and damage the strip.
  • Please ensure that the power supply is of adequate power to operate the total load.
  • When mounting on metallic or otherwise conductive surfaces, there needs to be an electrical isolation point between strip and the mounting surface.
  • Pay attention to standard ESD precautions when installing the strip.
  • Damage by corrosion will not be honored as a materials defect claim.  It is the user’s responsibility to provide suitable protection against corrosive agents such as moisture and condensation and other harmful elements.
