Key Features

• 512 LEDs per metre — highest density at 12V – The brightest, smoothest 12V option in the D series, ahead of the 480, 320, and 252-LED boards.
• Energy efficiency class E at 12V – Matches the efficiency rating typically associated with 24V boards, unusual for a 12V product in this family.
• 1400 lm/m from 12.5 W/m – Equal output to the top 24V 480-LED board, but achievable within an existing 12V system.
• 31.3mm cut interval – A precise, density-derived cut pitch. Verify against exact project measurements before finalising order lengths.
• Near-continuous light line – At this density, individual LED gaps are effectively invisible, producing a light quality closer to a solid luminous line.
• Direct 12V DC compatibility – Fits existing 12V systems in retrofit, marine, and vehicle installations without a supply upgrade.
• 8mm slim profile – Standard channel compatibility despite the increased LED density.
• L80B20 at 20,000 hours – 80% lumen retention with matching MTBF, 15,000 rated switching cycles.

Specifications

Materials & Finish

• Construction: flexible COB board with 512 large-die emitters per metre, the highest density in the 12V family, beneath a continuous phosphor layer.
• Profile: W8 × H1.65 ± 0.5 mm, sized for standard 8mm channel internals.
• Surface treatment: phosphor coating producing a near-continuous emitting line at this LED density.
• Colour consistency: SDCM ≤5 across six colour temperature options.
• Thermal range: -25 °C to +45 °C operating; -40 °C to +60 °C storage.
• Photometric stability: L80B20 at 20,000 hours.
• Mechanical: flexible, bend and twist tolerant; 15,000 switching cycles.

Assembly & Installation

Tools needed: scissors or side cutters, clean dry cloth, measuring tape.

Steps:

1. Verify exact run length against the 31.3mm cut interval before ordering — this pitch does not divide evenly into round metric lengths, so check the nearest achievable cut point for your measurement.
2. Confirm the 12V supply capacity against 12.5W per metre.
3. Clean and dry the mounting surface.
4. Cut only at the marked 31.3mm intervals.
5. Peel the backing film and press the strip firmly along its length.
6. Connect using the 2P-8 accessory range and apply power.

Measurement note specific to this model: the 31.3mm cut pitch is a direct consequence of fitting 512 LEDs per metre, and it will not land on a neat round number for most cabinet widths. Measure the installation opening precisely and calculate the nearest cut point in multiples of 31.3mm before committing to order quantities, particularly for multi-unit fit-outs where a small per-unit error compounds across the project.

Applications

• Premium display cabinets – Near-continuous light line for high-end retail and jewellery presentation.

FAQ

Q: Why is the cut interval 31.3mm instead of a round number?
A: This figure is derived directly from the LED pitch required to fit 512 emitters into one metre. It is a precise, density-linked measurement rather than a rounded design choice. Always calculate the nearest available cut point against your exact installation measurement before ordering.

Q: What makes this different from the 480-LED 12V board?
A: This is the highest-density 12V option in the D series at 512 LEDs per metre, against 480 on the next model down. Output is equal at 1400 lm/m, but the higher density produces a marginally smoother emitting line, at the cost of a less convenient cut interval.

Q: Is there a 24V version of this specific 512-LED density?
A: This LED density is offered at 12V only in the current range. For 24V options with high output and finer cut granularity, the 480-LED 24V board (1400 lm/m, 25mm cut) is the closest equivalent.

Q: How does energy class E at 12V compare with the same class at 24V?
A: The declared efficiency class reflects lumens per watt regardless of voltage. This strip achieves class E at 12V, matching what is more commonly seen on 24V boards in this family — a genuine efficiency achievement at the lower voltage, though the higher current draw at 12V still means shorter practical run lengths than an equivalent 24V product.

Q: Can this strip be used in a boat or RV electrical system?
A: Yes. 12V DC operation is directly compatible with standard marine and recreational vehicle electrical architecture without an inverter or voltage conversion stage.

Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?
A: MOQ is 50 sets, lead time 15–21 days. Supplied on 5m reels, 100 reels per carton totalling 500m, shipped from Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
