19.2w IP67 LED Strip 5500k

19.2w IP67 LED Strip 5500k

This is a high-output LED strip. At this density it is doing real work - lighting a benchtop, a wardrobe interior or a commercial display - rather than adding an accent to something already lit.

Output at this level brings heat with it, and heat is what decides how long a strip holds its brightness. An aluminium profile stops being a nice finish and becomes part of how the installation works.

Output and colour

This strip draws 19.2W per metre, producing 1720lm per metre.

⚠ Both figures are per metre, not per reel. A long run multiplies them, and that is the number that decides the driver.

It is a 5500K product - one fixed colour temperature.

This is a cool white, close to daylight. It reads as bright and precise, which is what suits a garage, a laundry, a display case, a workshop or any job where seeing detail matters more than atmosphere.

⚠ Cool light in a living space is the most common colour-temperature regret. It makes a room feel like a workplace, and the effect is far stronger at night than the specification suggests.

Colour rendering is >80 CRI, which describes how faithfully colours appear under the light. It matters most where the lighting falls on food, skin, timber or fabric.

The beam spread is 120°.

Where it can be installed

At IP67 this is rated for wet or exposed positions - outdoors, in bathrooms, or anywhere it will be splashed or rained on.

The rating protects the strip itself. The cut ends and the joints are the vulnerable part of any run, so they have to be sealed properly if the protection is to mean anything in practice.

Powering it

This strip runs at 24V DC, so it needs an LED driver between it and the mains. It cannot be connected to mains directly.

Size the driver from the run, not the reel, and be generous. At this wattage per metre a run reaches a large total quickly, and a driver chosen to just cover it will spend its life at the limit - which is where power supplies fail.

On a long high-output run it is also worth feeding from both ends rather than one. Voltage drop is what makes the far end of a long run visibly dimmer, and it bites hardest where the current is highest.

⚠ The driver's output voltage has to match the strip. At this output a mismatch does not simply leave the run dim - it destroys the strip, and that is not a warranty claim.

Cutting and installing it

The strip can be cut, but only at the marked cutting points - every 25mm. Cutting anywhere else severs the circuit and kills the section beyond the cut.

⚠ Use an aluminium profile on this one, not a plastic channel and not bare tape. High-output strip stuck to plasterboard or timber has nowhere to send its heat, and it shows within a couple of years as uneven brightness and drifting colour along the run.

Test it powered up and leave it running for a while before closing anything in. A high-output run shows problems - a dim section, a warm spot, a bad joint - under load rather than at the moment it is switched on.
