When choosing RGB LED strips for commercial or industrial applications, understanding the technical distinctions between chip sizes like 2835 and 5050 is critical. At YUHONG, we specialize in high-performance LED solutions, and our 2835 RGB LED strips are engineered to deliver exceptional efficiency and versatility. In this guide, we’ll break down the key differences between 2835 vs 5050 LED strips to help you make an informed decision for your next project.
2835 LED Chip:
Measures 2.8mm x 3.5mm, featuring a compact, flat design.
Optimized for energy efficiency and uniform light distribution.
Ideal for applications requiring slim profiles and seamless integration.
5050 LED Chip:
Larger at 5.0mm x 5.0mm, with a square-shaped structure.
Delivers higher brightness per chip but consumes more power.
Why It Matters:
YUHONG’s 2835 rgb led strip prioritizes lower energy consumption (20-30% more efficient than 5050) without compromising brightness, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.
| Feature | 2835 RGB LED Strip | 5050 RGB LED Strip |
|---|---|---|
| Lumens per Chip | 8-12 LM | 18-22 LM |
| Power Consumption | 4.8W/m (60 LEDs/m) | 14.4W/m (30 LEDs/m) |
| Light Distribution | Wide-angle, uniform | Focused, intense beams |
Key Takeaway:
While 5050 chips produce brighter individual LEDs, YUHONG 2835 strips achieve comparable overall brightness with higher LED density (e.g., 60 LEDs/m vs 30 LEDs/m for 5050). This results in smoother color transitions and reduced "dotting" effects.
Architectural lighting: Cove lighting, panel lighting, and hidden installations.
Retail displays: Accent lighting for shelves or products.
Long-term installations: Low heat output extends lifespan (50,000+ hours).
High-impact signage: Where intense brightness is prioritized.
Industrial settings: Environments requiring rugged, high-output lighting.
YUHONG Advantage:
Our 2835 RGB strips include IP65/IP67 waterproofing options and customizable lengths, perfect for both indoor and outdoor commercial projects.
Energy Savings: Reduce operational costs by up to 30% compared to 5050 alternatives.
Slim Profile: Just 2-3mm thickness for discreet installations.
Advanced Control: Compatible with DMX, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi controllers for smart lighting systems.
Durability: Built with premium epoxy resin and anti-UV coatings for harsh environments.
Q: Can 2835 strips match 5050 brightness?
A: Yes! By using double the LED density, YUHONG’s 2835 strips achieve similar brightness with better efficiency.
Q: Which is better for 24/7 operation?
A: 2835’s lower heat generation ensures longer lifespan for continuous use.
Q: Do you offer custom color temperatures?
A: Absolutely—YUHONG provides tailored RGB solutions, including tunable white options.
