What Are the Differences Between LED Chip Types?

What Does the LED Chip Number Mean?

LED chips, also known as surface-mounted devices (SMD), are identified by a four-digit number. This code is simpler than it appears and simply indicates the size of the LED chip. For instance, the SMD sizes found in LED strip lights are 5.0mm x 5.0mm.

Which is the Best LED Chip?

LEDs, such as SMDs, come in different sizes and specifications, which relate to their energy requirements and output brightness. The best selection depends on what is appropriate for your project.

You can find more detailed information about each LED chip below.

Explanation of LED Chips

The SMD measuring 3.5mm x 2.8mm is a smaller chip than those used in LED strip SMDs. In 12-volt LED strips with 60 SMDs, there’s a power consumption of 4.8 watts (also known as 4.8w per meter or 5w per meter LED strips).

The output of these strip lights, depending on the color, is approximately 330-360 lumens per meter (equivalent to a 40-watt halogen), which is sufficient to create a smooth and bright effect when cast on any surface.

Standard colors available include red, green, blue, amber, as well as warm and cool white SMDs. (We can also provide custom orders for other color temperatures.)

60 SMD per meter LED strip lights are commonly utilized for accent lighting or feature lighting in homes, bars, restaurants, hotels, and other locations.

Although less common than standard 60 SMD per meter strips, 120 SMD per meter LED strips are also available. These strips have a power consumption of 9.6 watts (named 9.6w per meter or 10w per meter LED strips) and offer the same color options. Their light output is double that of 60 SMD per meter strips, translating to around 660-720 lumens per meter based on color.

120 SMD per meter LED strips are used for the same feature lighting applications as their standard counterparts. They are recommended for areas where stronger ambient light is required, indicating a need for more brightness than 4.8w per meter.

Our 60 SMD per meter LED strips have cutting points spaced 50mm apart, while the 120 SMD per meter strips have cutting points at 25mm intervals. Both types are available in waterproof versions (rated IP67).

Numbers and LED Types: What Do They Mean?

All these numbers! What's going on?

Have you come across numbers like SMD 2835 or SMD 5050 while searching for LED light strips?

These numbers are less mysterious than they appear.

You may have seen the letters "SMD" preceding these numbers. SMD stands for 'Surface-Mounted Device', indicating that the LED chip (or device) is placed directly onto the strip, negating the need for additional wiring. This surface-mount technology enables the feasibility of LED Light Strips, with the numbers following SMD simply reflecting the chip's physical dimensions. For example, SMD 2835 measures 2.8mm wide by 3.5mm long. Note that size does not directly correlate with output and performance, and this is not the only difference between LED chip types.

SMD 2835

SMD 2835 chips are perhaps the most widely used chips in LED strip lights. They consume the least energy and provide the lowest brightness of the three types we use at HitLights and are primarily utilized for accent lighting, often placed above kitchen cabinets or along ceiling coves.

Previously, the 2835 chips were used in our Luma5 strips, but now we mainly use the lower-output chips, which provide the same brightness as the 2835 but with improved efficiency and lifespan.

SMD 5050

SMD 5050 chips trail slightly behind in popularity compared to 2835 chips. These chips measure 5.0mm x 5.0mm and are typically three times brighter than 2835 chips. Their higher brightness makes them ideal for what we call 'task lighting', such as providing illumination under kitchen cabinets. 5050 strips are often available in color-changing options, allowing for any color choice.

These chips were previously featured in our Luma10 strips, available in both single-color and multi-color versions.

SMD 5630

SMD 5630 chips are similar to 5050 chips but utilize newer technology, making them more efficient and brighter for the same amount of power. They are smaller (measuring 2.8mm x 3.5mm) and ideal for task lighting and even general lighting.

High-output 5630 chips are used in our Luma20 strips, which represent the brightest (and most efficient) strips we offer.

In conclusion, the Luma designations were originally associated with specific chip types (Luma5, Luma10, and Luma20), but due to advancements in LED technology, these designations have quickly become outdated. Instead, our Luma designations now consistently reference the lumen count per chip—approximately 5 lumens for Luma5, around 10 lumens for Luma10, and approximately 20 lumens for Luma20.

Now, you should understand the differences between the various LED chip types in our strips.

The type of chip is just one small factor in selecting the right LED light strip for your project. Please feel free to contact us for lighting support on any project.
