LED Strip comparison - 2835 3014 5050 5630 7020

A comparison of led strips
Results 7:45
3014 204/m is what i would recommend for growing.
5630 if you are on a budget.

[@rafaurl]

awesome! it's great to find simple videos with usefull information like yours without loud music. thanks for your work!

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

so this video is 2 years old now, i'll need to do a new video soon from comments things to improve: show measurement as lux instead of lumen use a specific length (1m) so people can calculate watt/m etc include links to where products were bought measure heat show power supply include link include link sheet with data include clip of plants growing under strip

[@gilang27]

Amazing! My head are getting nuts everytime searching for LED bulb saying SMD xxxx. Don't even know what that means related to the lumen and price.

[@Mike-gg7yb]

Any update on the new video?

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

@@Mike-gg7yb i got side tracked with samsung and bridgelux linear led modules

[@eggplantstar914]

@@ohfrickitspeppers When comparing these to for instance, the bridgelux eb series (bxeb 280mm), the bridgelux produces 1200lm at 7 watts (350ma). Is the 3014 really a stronger and more efficient light or am I missing something in this comparison?

[@christopherstaples6758]

any eta on redo will be interesting to know if 3014 is still best

[@cordescreations536]

might be older but still one of the best i have seen. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

[@trustnoone3795]

Another good production. As I wrote in a previous comment regarding one of your videos, you keep it simple. Although you added the watt & lux meters, it didn't complicate anything. The extra info. you provided by using the equipment was very helpful. In particular, the lux meter. As I said in my previous comment, I've been an electronic tech for 40 plus years & I'm wanting to change out lighting fixtures in my shop using LED strips. You tested other strips this time, and I thank you for that. Now I need to decide what I'm going to go with. The nice thing about these strips is they can be cut to pretty much any length so a person could make any size or shape of fixture you may need. Thanks again for this informative video, and take care.

[@rubyrose49]

I’m into tropical houseplants and there is a huge myth that regular leds are not effective. If peppers can grow using regular leds, I think houseplants can as well. I’ve grown my houseplants using regular led bulbs and they are fine. I will be buying strip lights so this video helps a lot. Thank you.

[@Ahoy123]

did it work?

[@Bzyko78]

Very nice test, i was always using 5050, looks like 3014 will be my new choice. More efficient but just to let everyone know I never had a failure of 5050 led strip so reliability is very good, hope 3014 will continue the trend. Thanks for video

[@punityaduvanshi730]

Bartosz Bzyko bro which is best led strip type for home and play with music

Спасибо, за тесты лент. Это пригодилось.

[@tomjaworskininja]

Great test ,for the future tests could you please do a temperature reading that would be greatly appreciated because using heatsink is not always possible

[@tinyhydrogreens1932]

I was trying to decide between the 3014 with 204 led per meter and the 2835 with 240 led per meter. I tested a 1 foot long 2835 led strip and a 30 watts LED driver. I used the same android app that you used last year. I know the app is not as accurate as the Zondaj Lx 1010B. The lux reading I got at 12 inches of distance was 1854 lux versus the 1425 of the 3014 from your test. The watts reading was 10.2 vs the 5.2 of the 3014. The led strip got very hot. The price of the 2835 is twice as expensive as the 3014. Based on the results of the tests, I would pick the 3014 because it consumes less watts and the lux difference is not that much. For future tests please include the 2835 with 240 led per meter. I would like to see if my test was accurate. Thank you for sharing.

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

Engi Coding that's what I thought would happen. Those 2835 240/m are meant to be used with aluminum fixture increasing their cost even more. There are simply too many led and not enough space to get rid of the heat.

[@alvinchan929]

yes,if the led strip work with aluminum profile,than,will reduce the hot,and have more life span. also,for 2835 240led/m,it can make low watta,we can custom the watta and length for our customer. Like,we custom 6w/m 2835 60led/m 10mm pcb,and 10 meters long.

[@pcenthusiastbd894]

Thanks. Very informative mate. Which is quite rare these days. Could u tell me what was the length of each strip u were measuring luminance of?

[@brentkelly5445]

That 3014 is .5 amp at 12v? And provides 1400 lumen? my gas camp lantern that I think is pretty good is 500 lumen. I don't understand driver's, protection. Do you need a driver for a strip that has the resistors in the line?

[@duronboy2]

Thumbs up for the summary at the end

[@AlhamRana]

I was kinda feeling like a university class room, though I've never been in One.. Anyways thank you for the accurate test ever..awesome video..

[@AznTony360]

I wanted to know the brightness to pick from before realizing that I actually had an extremely limited space for a row of 3 strips. Area only being 15mm total. Found out the 5050/5630 smd total width is between 8-10mm, while the 2835 smd is 6-8mm. Varies from vender to vender. Only way 3 strips will fit is if I ordered the 2835 and overlap them a mm or 2 on each. The only way to go without dropping to a smaller smd, which will further reduce brightness.

[@jaberimran6279]

Greatly appreciated.

[@kelauben]

I must have missed it during the video but where did you buy the lights from? Did I hear AliExpress? -thanks

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

Karl Laubengayer yeah AliExpress is cheap because direct from China. Just search LED strip and whatever model #

[@Mroswaldo16]

Which do you recommend, i want something that lights up were its pointing.

[@evenflow711]

Thanks for the test, to clarify you are measuring lux and not lumens and so your table at the end of the video is misleading. At over 200 lumens per watt these Chinese LEDs would be the most efficient in the universe! Big difference between lumens and lux.

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

yeah sorry about that, next video i'll make sure to use the correct unit.

[@adamek1xd]

1lux = 1lm/m2

Sir if i connect a 3528 led strip ir controller to a 2835 led strip ....will it damage the the 2835 leds.... Because they come with same voltage but different current draw Please reply .....??

no the leds will only pull the current required, a good 12v power supply (like meanwell) will work for any of these strips.

Is there a recommendation on the white color (cool white, warm white, etc) of LED strip for growing vegetables? Is 6500K the best for veggie state?

[@seasidescott]

These aren't the type for growing, those are much brighter often HID, HPS, or MH depending on the spectrum for the type of plant. There are led strips that are infrared-ish and ultraviolet-ish that can help as long as they are very close to the plants, like within 6 inches.

They are so many models I don’t now which is the best or is recommended. I like install the LEDs under the kitchen cabinets, on the ceiling as cool lighting, behind the tv so I get a really good effects ... and i want to control it over WiFi and use Alexa or Google Home with the Stripes. The Philips Hue lightstripes are my favorite at the moment but they are very expensive, then I need i guess about 30-50m of the LEDs , so I want to ask which one u can recommend here with a really good power supply, so I can go max brightness 👍

[@xenodf6069]

Which would be good enough to grow plants in. A aquarium?

[@dmoore0079]

I've had good luck with 5630 or 5730 for aquarium lighting. For best results, stick it onto aluminum flat bar stock (1/8" thick and 2 to 3" wide. Can be cut to length to fit your aquarium). An excellent choice is the high CRI LED strip that's marketed toward DIY photography lighting. Very, very bright and plants/fish look fantastic under it. You'll want something in the daylight spectrum (5000 to 7000 kelvin).

[@GuitarLessonCharts]

So the 3014 LED produces a whopping 274 lumens per watt, meanwhile Lm301b's produce a lousy 220 lumens per watt? Something seems off here...

[@ohfrickitspeppers]

as pointed out in a comment below i was actually measuring LUX not lumens, i'll have to redo the video soon and i'll correct it.

[@rsxen8990]

@@ohfrickitspeppers however Lux is actually more important IF you want to light an area, usually the point of these high output LED. I had LED bar rated at 2500 lumen but only at about 6 in. away. great video.

[@rsxen8990]

damn. wish I had seen this video earlier. been wasting my time doing a whole house and workshop replacement. I went from the cheap "2000" lumen plug and play, to 5050, then to the 2835 which for near same wattage pull when doubled up (16ft ea) would pull about the same as 5050 16ft and run way cooler. Now I see that maybe 5630 or 3014 could be better. Thanks for the video!!

It will be fine you will need to secure them with better glue or something. the provided adhesive is not sticky for plastic / wood.

The best lighting strips mostly use 3M 468MP Adhesive Transfer Tape. You can get it at www.amazon.com/3M-Adhesive-Transfer-468MP-Multiple/dp/B00P7K7T84 You probably want to get 1/2 inch wide to fit the lighting strip, in whatever length you need.

Juanitos Peppers hello, how about CRI? I saw on eBay 5630 led strips with CRI 80+, 95+. But the price of it pretty bigger than usual 5630.

which power supply is needed for the 3014s?

[@lilithh1429]

as long as you get a 12v dc power supply it is ok. How many amps you need depends on how long of strip you have. Generally 5 Amp for 1 normal strip. like this: www.amazon.com/LPV-60-12-Supply-100-264VIn-Sealed-Driver/dp/B00DED2YLI?th=1 or this: www.ebay.com/itm/12VDC-2A-3A-5A-6A-10A-Power-Adapter-Supply-Fr-5050-3528-5630-SMD-LED-Strip-Light/401030373195

[@alvinchan929]

just accoring to the led strip power,if led strip is 12v,so,the power need to be 12v. if 5 meters is 60W,the power must be above 60W,the better suggest is 60/0.8=75w. are you interested in led strip? any question you can send email to me.
