2835 and 5050 light strip which is better

First of all, it is explained here that the light strip refers to welding the LED lamp beads on the copper wire or the strip-shaped flexible circuit board with a special processing technology, and then connecting the power supply to emit light. The 2835 and 5050 in the title actually refer to the model of the LED lamp bead, not the light strip, and the light strip does not have a model.

Therefore, which one is better, 2835 and 5050, actually refers to which model of lamp beads 2835 and 5050 is better. Let's take a look at the difference between the lamp beads 2835 and 5050.

Package size
The numbers of lamp bead models (for example: 2835, 3014, 3528, 5630, 5050) actually represent their package sizes. For example, the package size of LED 2835 is 2.8mm*3.5mm*0.8mm, and the package size of LED 5050 is 5.0mm*5.0mm*1.5mm.

light intensity
The 2835 light strip has a wide width, which makes the light-emitting area large, the light output rate is high, and the intensity can reach 13-15LM. It also solves the problem of zebra crossings in fluorescent lamps.

Scope of application
2835 lamp beads are mostly used for indoor lamps, panel lamps, light bars, advertising sign modules, etc.;

5050 lamp beads are mostly used for outdoor lighting wall washers, line lights, guardrail tubes, point light sources, etc.

Summarize
On the whole, the 2835 type light strip has better effect than the 5050 type light strip. Of course, it is necessary to look at the manuals of the two to actually use it, and decide based on the actual situation and personal needs.
