Key Features

• Direct 12V DC compatibility – Connects to existing 12V infrastructure in retrofit kitchens, caravans, motorhomes, boats, and vehicle conversions without replacing the supply.
• 1200 lm/m from 10.0 W/m – Higher output per watt than the 252-LED board in the same 8mm family, delivering genuine task-level brightness on worktops and benches.
• 320 LEDs per metre – Mid-range density in the 8mm family, balancing emitting-surface smoothness against unit cost.
• 50mm cut interval – Practical granularity for typical cabinet and shelf sections without excessive offcut waste.
• Dot-free continuous emission – COB phosphor coating runs across the full 8mm width, producing an unbroken light band with no visible points at close viewing distance.
• Six colour temperature options with SDCM ≤5 – 2700K through 6500K specified at order, held to a five-step MacAdam ellipse so separate reels match visibly.
• L80B20 at 20,000 hours – 80% lumen retention at 20,000 hours with matching MTBF and 15,000 rated switching cycles.
• Complete 2P-8 accessory range – Solderless board connectors, DC Dupont leads, in-line joiners, plus L, T, and cross transitions for extension, cornering, and branching.

Specifications

Materials & Finish

• Construction: flexible COB board with 320 large-die emitters per metre under a continuous phosphor layer.
• Profile: W8 × H1.65 ± 0.5 mm, matching standard 8mm aluminium channel internals.
• Surface treatment: phosphor coating across the full emitting width, with no discrete lens or dome.
• Colour consistency: SDCM ≤5, keeping separate reels visually matched across a multi-section installation.
• Thermal range: -25 °C to +45 °C operating; -40 °C to +60 °C storage, tolerating unheated vehicle and storage conditions.
• Photometric stability: L80B20 at 20,000 hours.
• Mechanical: flexible construction rated for bending, folding, and twisting; 15,000 switching cycles.

Assembly & Installation

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

Steps:

1. Confirm the 12V supply capacity against 10W per metre for the planned run, allowing 20% driver headroom.
2. Clean and dry the mounting surface — adhesive bonding fails on dust, grease, and residual cleaner.
3. Cut only at the marked 50mm intervals.
4. Peel the backing film and press the strip along its full length, working from one end to avoid trapped air.
5. Connect using the 2P-8 accessory range: board connector, lead wire, in-line joiner, or L/T/cross transition.
6. Apply power. The strip illuminates immediately with no controller or programming required.

Run length planning for 12V: at 0.83A per metre this strip draws roughly 66% more current than the 24V equivalent at the same wattage. Keep individual runs to around 5 metres from a single feed point, and inject power at both ends on longer sections. Ignoring this is the most common cause of visible dimming at the far end of a 12V installation.

Applications

• Retrofit kitchen under-cabinet lighting – Connects to existing 12V supplies without replacing installed infrastructure.
• Caravan, motorhome, and campervan interiors – Matches the standard 12V DC electrical system used in leisure vehicles.
• Marine cabin and galley lighting – Compatible with 12V boat systems without an inverter or additional conversion stage.
• Vehicle conversions and automotive ambient lighting – Direct compatibility with automotive 12V electrical architecture.
• Wardrobe and closet interiors – Adequate output for garment visibility with straightforward 12V wiring.
• Bed head and under-bed lighting – Low-voltage supply suits bedroom installations where mains routing is impractical.
• Display cabinets and shelving – Even 8mm emitting face for merchandise presentation.

FAQ

Q: Should I specify the 12V or the 24V version of this 320-LED strip?
A: Choose 12V when an existing 12V supply is already installed — retrofit kitchens, caravans, boats, and vehicle conversions. Choose 24V for new installations and longer runs, where the lower current draw reduces voltage drop. The 24V version also produces 1350 lm/m against 1200 lm/m here, and sits one energy efficiency class higher.

Q: How long can a single 12V run be before brightness drops?
A: As a working guide, keep individual runs to around 5 metres from one feed point. At 0.83A per metre the voltage drop accumulates faster than on a 24V system. For longer sections, inject power at both ends rather than feeding from one side only.

Q: Can this strip be used in a bathroom or near a kitchen sink?
A: No. The strip is rated IP20, which offers no protection against moisture. It is for indoor, dry locations only. Do not install it above a sink, hob, or in a bathroom zone where splashing or steam condensation occurs.

Q: What does the 50mm cut interval mean in practice?
A: The strip can only be shortened at 50mm increments. For a 780mm cabinet you would fit 750mm and leave a 30mm gap, or run 800mm and allow slight overhang. Where finer granularity is needed, the 480-LED and 512-LED boards in this family cut at 25mm and 31.3mm respectively.

Q: Is 1200 lm/m enough for worktop task lighting?
A: Yes. At 1200 lm/m this strip delivers genuine task-level illumination on kitchen worktops rather than accent glow. For maximum output in the 8mm family, the 640-LED 24V board reaches 1800 lm/m.

Q: What are the MOQ, lead time, and packing details?
A: MOQ is 50 sets with a lead time of 15–21 days. The strip ships on 5m reels, 100 reels per carton totalling 500m, from Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
