Indoor vs outdoor LED strip lights differ mainly in how well the strip, and everything connected to it, resists moisture and the elements. An indoor strip can be a low-protection...

IP20 vs IP65 vs IP67 comes down to how much dust and moisture a strip is built to withstand. IP20 is for dry indoor locations, IP65 handles splashes and humidity,...

Low, medium or high output LED strips differ in how much light they produce per foot, and the right level depends on the job the light has to do. Low-output...

Dotless LED strip lighting is a continuous line of light with no visible individual points. You get it by combining the right elements: a strip built for a smooth output,...

LED density is the number of LEDs packed into each length of a strip, usually stated per foot or per meter. It matters because closer spacing produces a smoother, more...

So, what is CRI? CRI, or Color Rendering Index, measures how accurately a light source shows the true colors of the objects it lights, on a scale up to 100....

LED color temperature describes how warm or cool a white light looks, measured in kelvin (K). Lower numbers around 2700K to 3000K give a warm, amber-leaning white; the middle range...

Lumens per foot is the measure of how much light each foot of an LED strip produces. It is the most reliable way to compare the brightness of one strip...

To choose LED strip brightness, start with the job the light has to do, then match it to the strip's rated output in lumens per foot. Accent lighting needs the...

LED strip color types fall into five common groups: static white, tunable white, RGB, RGBW, and RGB+CCT. Static white gives one fixed white; tunable white shifts along the white range;...

12V vs 24V LED strip lights comes down to one thing: how far the light can travel before voltage drop starts to dim the far end. Both run on low-voltage...

COB LED strip lights use thousands of tiny diodes packed under one continuous phosphor coating, so they cast a smooth line of light with no visible dots. SMD strips place...
