When you want to order some colorful strip lights for your home, you search on Amazon and will find that you have many choices: RGB, RGBW, RGBWW. So the question is, what is the difference between them?

What the difference of RGB, RGBW, and RGBWW

The difference between the RGB, RGBW, and RGBWW is the number and type of LEDs used.

RGB stands for red, green, and blue and prefers a type of LED Strip that uses three colors to create shades and hues. These Strips are commonly used for decorative lighting and can produce various colors.

RGBW stands for red, green, blue, and white. In addition to the three primary colors, RGBW LED Strips also include a white LED. This allows for a broader range of color options and the ability to create pure white light. There are two structure products available: RGB+White and RGBW 4-In-1.

RGBWW stands for red, green, blue, warm white, and white. These LED Strips will create a softer yellow-white and allow you to adjust the color temperature for various scenes.

You can use the RGB LED Strips to create colorful ambient lighting. And RGBW for brighter ambient lights. RGBWW allows the brightness adjustment and the change of the color temperature from warm white to cool white.

How to cut the RGB, RGBW, and RGBWW LED Strips?

The RGB LED Strips have 4 Pins on the PCB board, RGBW has 5 Pins, and RGBWW has 6 Pins. You can cut to the size you want from the copper cutting point.

If you want to add some LED Lights that are flexible, bendable and cuttable, we will recommend using the LED Strip Lights, but now more and more users will choose the COB LED Strips, not the SMD LED Tapes. today let’s check the advantage of COB LED Lights.

RGB COB LED Tapes

“COB” is the abbr chip-on-board technology, the newest technology of packaging the LED Chips, 320PCS/480PCS/520PCS or 840PCS LED Chips are mounted on every meter flexible PCB board to allow high density LED array. to create a totally smooth, seamless line of light, this outstanding design will not show any visible light dots or hot spots, making it ideal illumination for reflective surfaces, such as countertops, tile floors, jewelry cases and backlighting.

Advantages:

  • More Bright
  • No Visible Light Dots And Hot Spots
  • 90+ High CRI

Due to the high-density LED Chips packaging technology, the COB LED Strips are more bright than the SMD’s, the max LEDs that can be mounted on every meter PCB board is 144PCS, but for COB, the number increased to 840PCS. the more Light Chips mean the COB LED Lights are more bright, you will not see any visible light dots and hot spots. from the photo below, you will see the difference:

COB LED Strips Advantage

the COB LED Tapes with a higher CRI(color rendering index) value, the value of single color is 90+ and multiple colors is 80+, with the higher CRI, the reflection of lighting on the products look more natural, which makes the subject outstanding in color and features of materials, perfectly reflecting the colors of subject and the human beings. it’s an ideal lighting solution for stores that sell fruits or foods.

Color Rending Index

the COB LED Strips are flexible, bendable and cuttable too, the width from 2.7mm to 12mm for various applications, you can take single colors like warm white, white, natural white, red, blue, yellow, purple, etc, the multiple colors are available: RGB, RGBW, RGB+CCT, Dream color. you can choose the different waterproof level products for your projects from IP20, IP65, IP68 and IP68.

Now the price of COB LED Lights is very close to the SMD’s, so if you want to get a better result for your lighting projects, we will strongly recommend the COB LED Lights.

 

The Waterproof Levels Of LED Strips, Which Is The Best For You?

When you try to add some LED Strips to your home, you browse the products on online store or visit your local LED Light Shops, you will find that there are various waterproof levels products available, IP20, IP30, IP44, IP65, IP66, IP67 and IP68, so which waterproof level products are the best for you? today let’s check the waterproof levels of the LED Strips.

Waterproof Level LED Strips

as a seller, we delimit the IP20, IP30 and IP44 LED Strips are non-waterproof products, the SMDs or LED Chips were mounted on the bare PCB board, no anything on the surface. this style LED Strips only can be used in a dry location, we will recommend using them for indoor applications. the back with double-sided adhesive tape, easy to stick on the place you want to install.

Non-waterproof LED Strips

the IP65 LED Tapes, which has epoxy or silicone coated on the surface to allow the LED Strips can be used in a wet or dry location like living room, kitchen, etc. the back with double-sided adhesive tape, easy to take off the protector on the back of the LED Tape and stick on the place you want to install.

IP65 Waterproof LED Tape

the IP67 LED Strip Lights, which put the bare LED Strips into a silicone tube and seal both ends to allow the waterproof level reach to IP67, you can use this style of Waterproof LED Strip Lights in a wet, damp or rainy location for outdoor applications. for example, bathroom, kitchen, outside of the house, etc. this style of LED Strips always come with silicone clips and screws, you can use them to fix on the wall or the surface of your lighting project.

IP67 Waterproof LED Strips

the IP68 LED Light Strips, which are the best waterproof products, based on the IP67 LED Strips and inject epoxy or silicone inside and seal both sides, you can put them in water and can work normally in a very long time. if you want to install them in your swimming pool or around your boat, etc, this is the one you need. the Waterproof  LED Strips come with clear clips and screws, you can fix them on the surface of your lighting project easily.

from the information above, know you will know how to choose the different waterproof LED Strips.

How To Create The Linear LED Light On The Drywall?

As we know, it’s hard to mount the Aluminum Profiles on the drywall structure, you can not drill a hole or use double-sided adhesive tape. so how to create the Linear LED Light on, today let’s check it out.

LED Tape Light Channels

the materials below you need:

  1. LED Tape Light Channels
  2. End Caps With Wire Holes/Without Holes
  3. Screws
  4. LED Drivers
  5. LED Tapes

LED Channels For Dry Wall

This Trimless Profiles for recessing into plastered walls and ceilings for an incredible seamless diffused light output, simply screw the profile into 10mm drywall and plaster over then add the diffuser, extruded aluminum paster in profile allows you to create a stunning trimless fix, that makes it simple to flush mount for the ultimate modern look and feel. suitable for the gypsum and plasterboard for indoor occasions.

How To Install the Drywall LED Channels?

  1. Insert the end caps on the LED Channels, then mount the Aluminum Channels on the ceiling.
  2. Apply a layer of plaster to the profile and ceiling, and then paint the surface to finish.
  3. Mount the LED Strips, recommend the COB LED Tapes, NO visible light dots and dark area, insert the cover, lead out the power cable.
  4.  Run the cable to the Power Supply, connect the power.
