Technical Specs & Certifications
The 2835 LED is a surface-mounted diode (SMD) package measuring 2.8mm by 3.5mm, widely used in LED strip lights, downlights, panel lights, and other general and commercial lighting applications due to its compact size and high efficiency. When evaluating 2835 LEDs with specific performance criteria such as high lumens per watt, excellent color rendering, and environmental protection, the following technical specifications are critical.
Lumens per watt (lm/W) is a key metric for energy efficiency. High-quality 2835 LEDs typically deliver between 110 and 140 lumens per watt, depending on drive current, thermal management, and binning. At standard operating currents (e.g., 60mA to 150mA), top-tier 2835 LEDs can achieve 130 lm/W or higher, making them suitable for energy-conscious applications. Efficiency drops at higher currents due to thermal and electrical losses, so proper heat dissipation is essential to maintain performance.
Color Rendering Index (CRI) measures how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects compared to natural light. For applications requiring accurate color representation—such as retail lighting, art galleries, and healthcare facilities—a CRI greater than 90 is essential. High-CRI 2835 LEDs use advanced phosphor coatings to achieve CRI values of 90 to 95, with some premium versions reaching Ra >95. These LEDs often utilize multiple phosphor blends to enhance the spectral output, particularly in the red and cyan regions, improving color fidelity.
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings indicate the level of protection against solid particles and moisture. The 2835 LED itself is a component and does not carry an IP rating, but the final lighting product (e.g., LED strip or fixture) incorporating 2835 LEDs can be rated based on its enclosure. Common IP ratings for 2835-based products include IP20 for indoor dry locations, IP65 for resistance to water jets (suitable for outdoor or damp environments), and IP67 or IP68 for full submersion protection. Achieving high IP ratings requires proper potting, sealing, and housing design, especially in flexible strip lights where silicone coating or extruded profiles are used.
