There are a few differences among these different voltages

Benefits: The 12V version offers shorter cut marks at every 1 1/4” compared to every 2 5/8” in the 24V version. This is great for smaller, detail-oriented projects where you need specific cut lengths.

Tradeoff: The 12V version has a shorter run length of 9ft 10in compared to the 24V version.

24V Input Version

Benefits:  The main benefit of choosing the 24V version is for the longer run length of 19ft 8in, which is double the length of the 12V version outputs.

Tradeoff: The cut marks on the 24V version are at every 2 5/8”, which is still frequent, but not as short as the 12V version.

The length of LED strip lights of your project will determine the size of the power supply you need. View our Power Supply chart to find the exact LED power supply you need.

Color rendering index (CRI) measures how colors are correctly rendered under a light source in comparison to natural sunlight. The index is measured on a 0-100 scale with 100 being a perfect rating of color accuracy, meaning the colors appear as they naturally would under unadulterated daylight. The bottom line: the higher the CRI, the higher quality is the light source.

95 - 100 → Phenomenal color rendering. Colors appear as they should, subtle tones pop out and are accented. All skin tones look beautiful and art comes alive as backsplashes and paint show their beautiful, full saturation.

90 - 95 →  Great color rendering! Colors pop out, look vibrant and are easily distinguishable. Noticeably great lighting starts at a CRI of 90.

80 - 90 →  Good color rendering. Though most colors will render well, you may not see items as fully saturated as you would like, but most people will not notice.

60 - 75 →  Poor color rendering. Items and colors look desaturated, dull, toneless, and at times unidentifiable (cannot see the difference between black and navy-colored socks).

Because of our unyielding confidence in the quality of our product, we offer a 7-year warranty on our UltraBright™ Industrial Series LED strip lights. For more info, please read our warranty policy.

The color of light can be quantified by referring to its color temperature. White light is measured in Kelvins (K). Most white lights fall in a spectrum between 1800K and 6200K. When dropping below 3000K, the light becomes noticeably warmer. On the other end of the spectrum, the lights become cooler and emit a blue-ish tint as they rise above 6500K.

It is important that you choose a color temperature that compliments the style, mood, or intention of your space. We recommend using warmer tones for accent or ambient lighting while using cooler tones in high-traffic, industrial or task-specific areas. Speak to one of our lighting experts if you need guidance.

Our lights have been rigorously tested and have an expected lifespan of 50,000 hours before dropping to 70% luminosity. This means that if you were to use your lights 12 hours a day, every day, the lights would be expected to last longer than 10 years. Even after that time has elapsed, the lights will maintain a brightness of 70%. Higher-output strips require a heat sink to reach the expected lifespan and beyond.

Q: What are lumens (lm)?

No, we do not have an outdoor version of the UltraBright™ Industrial Series. However, we have many other high-quality outdoor IP65-rated LED strip lights you can choose from.

We have engineered this strip for a long run length in relevance to the extremely high output. The maximum continuous line of lighting in series is 9’10” for 12V and 19’8” for 24V versions. Longer connections are possible in parallel with the correct power unit.

As these lights operate on low voltage, you first need to purchase a 12V, 24V power supply depending on your setup. The type of power supply may vary, depending on if you want to be able to control or dim your lights with a dimming system. We recommend using our solderless grip connectors to make connections after cutting the strip to length if needed. If you are familiar with soldering, you can go ahead and do so to make more permanent connections, but please test your expertise on a small segment of strip before committing to solder your entire project.

The 3M double sided adhesive that is found on the back of the LED strip allows you to install them in most locations. Be sure to thoroughly clean the surface to remove all dust and particulate matter before mounting the strip. Certain surfaces may require you to take additional measures to secure the strips lights into place. Feel free to call us with any questions.

Yes, our LED strip lights are made to be cut to your desired length. Using sharp scissors, you can cut this strip every 1 1/4” for the 12V and 2 5/8” for the 24V version. You’ll see the cut marks printed on the surface of the strip.

Made with newer technology, 2835 SMD (Surface Mounted Diode) chips are more efficient and can be much brighter than other SMD chips. The number 2835 refers to the size of the chips, which measures at 2.8mm x 3.5mm. This compact size makes for exceptional discreet lighting. Click here for more information on LED chip sizes.

The Underwriters Laboratories (UL) are an independent, not-for-profit organization that focuses on evaluating products for safety certification. This means you can use and install these LEDs in commercial spaces, industrial applications and in your home knowing that these are safe products.

Title 24 JA8 is the California Building Standards Code that sets the new standard for energy efficient lighting for residential and commercial buildings. Its purpose is to ensure the state has a healthy, safe and reliable source of energy by reducing energy costs and environmental impacts of energy use. Color temperatures 4000K and below can be used to comply with California Title 24 JA8.
