What is the difference between these packages of SMD LED 3030 vs 5050 vs 3535 LED chips? Today we are going to study these issues.
The SMD5050 LED chip, available in white, RGB, RGBW, and RGBWW types, is known for its high brightness and versatility in decorative and general lighting. The SMD3030 LED chip, usually in single colors, offers high efficiency and brightness, ideal for general lighting applications. The SMD3535 LED chip, available mostly in RGB and white, is suitable for display and accent lighting.
Each chip type caters to specific lighting needs, so what is the difference between these different package LED chips?
Size Differences: SMD LED 3030 vs 5050 vs 3535
The SMD3030 LED chip is typically square-shaped with dimensions around 3.0mm x 3.0mm.
The SMD5050 LED chip has dimensions of 5.0mm x 5.0mm, which gives it its name.
The SMD3535 LED chip is square-shaped with dimensions around 3.5mm x 3.5mm.
Key Differences Description and Comparison: SMD LED 3030 vs 5050 vs 3535
- Power Usage and Current:
- SMD3030: Utilizes 150 mA current, typically delivering 1 watt of power,
- SMD5050: Uses between 20 mA per color, RGB is 20mA x 3= 60mA， RGBW is 20mA x 4= 80mA , resulting in power usage ranging from 0.24 to 0.32 watts per LED.
- SMD3535: Draws a higher current (330 to 700 mA) and power range from 1 to 3 watts,
