How to Customize LED Strip Lights

LED strip lights are the modern and more sophisticated form of light strips, and they come in quite various types and exceptions. And customizable LED strip lights are a fantastic way for you to create your brand and expand your brand awareness.

If you are looking for a customizable LED strip light manufacturer in China, then you have come to the right place. As one of the top LED strip manufacturers in China, SignliteLED has been in the linear LED strip business for 14 years. SignliteLED has extensive experience in customized LED strips and can produce top-quality strips for any lighting application. We can be your one-stop shop for custom LED strip solutions.

Let’s dive into some details to help you understand how to customize your LED light strips. We will discuss each of these details in turn.

What Options are Available for Custom LED Strip Lights?

Custom LED strips for lighting projects include PCB design support, brightness, color, light control, different waterproofing types, and suitable lighting accessories, to name a few. As well as different lighting solutions such as linear lights, LED neon lights, and more. This customized LED strip will provide the perfect solution for your lighting project.

There are many factors that you need to check when ordering custom LED strips. Here are some of the customization options we offer for any custom LED strip order.

LED Strip Size

Dimensions refer to the width and length of the LED strip. LED strips can be made in different widths and lengths to meet the designer’s specific requirements, such as ultra-thin illumination, wide addressing design, etc. LED strips are available in various widths and lengths to meet the designer’s specific requirements.

Our LED strips are available in widths ranging from 4mm to 50mm. As for the length of the LED strips, our LED strips are normally supplied in standard lengths of 5 meters per roll. We can customize the length of our LED strips. Such as 1 meter/strip, 2 meter/strip, 10 meter/roll, and even 30 meter/roll. Moreover, we offer a super long constant current series; this series we can even make 50 meter/roll. So, you can provide a customized length according to your project requirements.

LED Strip PCB

For LED strip light PCBs, the customization can be supported by color, shape, thickness, and logo printing.

LED strip light PCB is usually copper-clad flexible PCB, with single-layer and double-layer PCBs available. And the color of a PCB’s solder mask can be white, black, or yellow.

Usually, the LED strip is a straight strip PCB, but there are also different styles of zigzag PCBs; you can also make the PCB into your desired shape. Just send us your shape design or picture, and then we can redesign and send back the file for your confirmation before mass production.

For flexible LED strips, all of our LED strips are made with a minimum of 2 oz PCB. If you need, 3 oz or 4 oz are available.

We support logo printing on PCBs. Please send us your logo file, and we will place your logo in the PCB design file and confirm with you before mass production. Please note, however, that we offer free logo printing for orders with a minimum quantity of 1000 meters.

LED Types and Brands

For flexible LED light bands, the quality of Sanyan chips or Epistar chips is currently the best. Even the 2835 LED chips from brands such as Nichia, Osram, Lumileds, Samsung, Seoul Semiconductor, etc. are not strong enough to be used in flexible LED light strips.

Currently, the popular LED types in LED light strips are:

Single color LED: SMD2835, SMD2216, SMD2110, SMD5050, SMD3528, SMD3014, SMD5630
Bicolor LED: SMD2835, SMD3527 2-in-1, SMD5050 2-in-1
RGB LED: SMD5050 RGB, SMD3535 RGB
RGBW LED: SMD5050 RGBW 4-in-1, SMD5050 RGB + SMD2835 white, SMD3535 RGB + SMD2835 white
RGBCCT LED: SMD5050 RGBCCT 5-in-1, SMD5050 RGB + SMD5050 2-in-1
Built-in IC LED: WS2812B, WS2813, WS2815, SK6812, SK9822, APA102, APA107, etc.

Custom Colors, Color Temperature (CCT), and Color Rendering Indexes

Color temperature measures how warm or cool a light’s color is. For the perfect color combination, we offer a wide selection of LED colors and color temperatures.

Colors: Cool White, Warm White, Natural White, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Ice Blue, Pink, Purple, Amber, RGB, RGBW, RGBCW, and more.

Color temperature: 1800-2000K, 2000-2200K, 2200-2400K, 2600-2800K, 2800-3200K, 3400-3600K, 3800-4200K, 4000-4500K, 5000-5500K, 6000-6500K, 8000K, 10000K, dim to warm, 2700K+6500K tunable white, etc.

Color Rendering Index (CRI) is an often overlooked indicator of color quality. However, for any application where the appearance of color is important, it is critical to consider CRI because it measures the accuracy of the color of the light from the source.

LED strips with a CRI below 80 produce distorted colors; LED strips with a CRI between 80-89 have good color rendering, and most colors are rendered well; and LED strips with a CRI of 90 and above produce high-quality illumination, so you can see things as they would be in natural daylight. For SignliteLED standard white LED strips, we have SMD LED strips with a CRI > 80 and COB LED strips with a CRI > 90. You can also choose 95 CRI or 97 CRI standards depending on your needs.

Number of LEDs per meter and LED rows

For single-row LED strips, the maximum number of LEDs we can manufacture is 700 LEDs/m for single color and 240 LEDs/m for RGB. Other LED quantities per meter can be customized according to your requirements.

For LED rows, our standard LED strips are available in 1, 2, 3, and 4 rows; if you require other special row designs, please contact us with a shape design or picture.

Customized Brightness and Wattage

The brightness of an LED strip is often described in lumens per meter, which is the amount of light emitted by the lamp. The lumen output level of the strip depends on the scenario in which the strip will be used, and usually, the higher the power, the brighter the strip will be, but the more power it will consume. But it’s not just power that determines the brightness of an LED strip; it’s also the number of LEDs per meter and the amount of light emitted by each LED and the efficiency of its performance.

Whether you need bright LED strips for task and accent lighting or warm diffused light for ambient lighting, we can provide you with custom LED strips in a wide range of brightness intensities, from 450 lm/m to 3600 lm/m. Below is a wide range of lumens per meter output for different applications:

  • 510-1150 lm/m: best for mood lighting or accent lighting
  • 570-1700 lm/m: mainly for cabinet lighting
  • 910-1430 lm/m: Produces optimal task lighting close to the light source.
  • 1120-2250lm/m: Best for task lighting away from the light source
  • 1230-1840lm/m: Mainly used for indirect lighting in bedrooms or hotels.
  • 1640-3220lm/m: Suitable for commercial use or industrial lighting, e.g., for signage, linear lighting.
