Full Color LED Strip (SMD2835, 1600K–12000K)

Ultra-wide CCT tunable white LED strip spanning 1600K warm amber to 12000K cool sky-white on one SMD2835 platform.

Artcolor's SMD2835 Full Color LED Strip is a flexible LED strip engineered for professional projects that need warm amber, natural white, daylight white, and cool sky-white lighting from a single platform. It supports an extended CCT range from 1600K to 12000K, helping lighting brands, distributors, and project contractors create flexible white light scenes for hospitality, retail, display, architectural, and special-effect lighting applications. On this page, "full color" refers to ultra-wide CCT white light control, not a standard RGB decorative strip.

Questions

Is this an RGB LED strip?

No. This series uses independently controlled white-light channels to adjust correlated color temperature. It is designed for extended tunable-white output rather than saturated red, green and blue color effects. The exact channel layout must be confirmed by model.

How is the ultra-wide CCT range produced?

The strip combines two or more LED channels with different white-light or amber-white endpoints. A compatible multi-channel controller adjusts the relative output of these channels to create intermediate white-light settings. The endpoint LEDs, channel count and control method depend on the selected model.

Can the strip accurately produce every CCT within the published range?

Not automatically. Intermediate chromaticity depends on the LED endpoints, channel-driving ratio, controller resolution, thermal conditions and calibration. Required CCT setpoints and permitted Duv should be confirmed through finished-strip testing.

Does CRI remain the same throughout the tuning range?

Not necessarily. CRI Ra, R9, TM-30 values, light output and efficacy may change as the channel ratio changes. Buyers should review measurements at the warm endpoint, selected intermediate settings and cool endpoint rather than relying on one CRI value for the complete range.

How many channels and wires does the strip require?

The required channel and wire count depends on the circuit architecture. A two-channel tunable-white strip commonly uses separate warm and cool outputs with a shared connection, while a multi-channel design may require additional outputs and control logic.

Which driver and controller should be used?

Use a constant-voltage driver matching the strip's nominal voltage and total load. The controller must support the correct channel count, wiring logic, per-channel current and total output capacity. DALI, 0-10V, DMX or smart control requires a compatible controller or dimmable driver between the control system and the LED strip.
