1. 3014 LED
- Size：3.0mm x 1.4mm
- Characteristic：
- Compact：3014 LED size is smaller, and suitable for small space design.
- Low-power:It is usually used for lower power requirements, such as 3014 LED strip.
- Easy install:Can be pasted on the PCB by SMT machine.
- Application：
- LED strip: Can be used for decorative illumination and creating atmospheres.
- Back light: Used for display back-light and so on.
- General lighting: Such as down light, panel light, LED strip.
2. 3030 LED
- Size：3.0mm x 3.0mm
- Characteristic：
- Middle Size: 3030 LED is the medium size that provided a good selection.
- High Brightness: Can provide higher brightness than3014 LED.
- Multifunctional: Suitable for various lighting solutions.
- Application：
- Down light: Suitable for down-light and recessed luminaires.
- Panel light: Used in office, business space so on.
- Industrial lighting: Suitable for industrial application of compact higher brightness LED,such as mining lamps.
3. 2835 LED
- Size：2.8mm x 3.5mm
Characteristic
- Low-power: Usually used for lower power requirements.
- Compact: Suitable for small space design
- Easy install: Can be taped on thePCB
- Application：
- LED strip: Can be used for decorative lighting and creating atmospheres.
- Back-light: Used for display back-light and so on.
- General lighting: Such as down lights, panel lights, led strips.
Summary
- 3014 LED Suitable for application of need compact space, lower power LED requirements.
- 3030 LED Providing a balance between size and brightness and it is appropriate for a requirement of various lighting.
- 2835 LEDSuitable for application of need lower power, compact design, and keeping output a good brightness at the same time.
Suggestion for select
- Requirement of space and power：The space constraints and power requirements of the LED stripneed to be considered first.
- Requirement of brightness：If you need higher brightness,the 3030 LED is a better selection.
- Cost consideration：The small sizeLED has a lower cost,there will be needed more LEDs to achieve the same level of brightness.
- Applications : Depends on the type of application（such as: down light、panel light、decorative lighting）to choose the suitable LED.
Regarding your needs(such as: brightness requirements 、space constraints、cost budgeting），it’s very important to select a suitable LED. Please let me know if you need a detailed suggestion or need to customize a special program,I’m glad to help you.
