5-Metre Cool White LED Strip

This 5-metre flexible strip contains 300 cool-white LEDs delivering 630 lumens. It is aimed at DIY installers and lighting professionals who need a simple peel-and-stick solution for accent, cove or task lighting. The 12 V DC design requires a separate power supply. Rated life is 50000 hours.

Upgrade from single-colour rope light

The strip replaces fixed-length rope lights that cannot be trimmed; it can be cut at every three-LED interval and rejoined with solder or solderless connectors. The jump is worth it when a project demands exact lengths, 3M tape mounting on flat surfaces, or multiple reels joined for runs up to 15 metres total.

12 V DC power-supply constraint

Each metre draws 13.2 W, so a full 5-metre reel needs a supply rated above 66 W. Longer runs increase the wattage proportionally and voltage drop may appear beyond the rated reel length. The strip is not dimmable or addressable unless a compatible controller is added separately.

Questions about this item

How much flat surface does the 16.4 ft roll of strip need?

The 16.4 ft roll is 5 metres long and uses 3M tape backing; it sticks to any clean, flat surface that can accommodate the full length or the cut sections you create.

What is the most common mistake when wiring the 12 V power supply for a 16.4 ft run?

Buyers often choose a supply rated at exactly 66 W; the strip draws 13.2 W per metre, so a 16.4 ft run needs a 12 V DC supply rated above 66 W to avoid overload.

After how many hours of use should I expect the cool white output to drop noticeably?

The LEDs are rated for 50000 lifetime hours; once that point is reached the cool white light will have faded and the strip should be replaced.
