Q: What is the HitLights 24V RGB CSP LED strip?
A: It is a 16.4 ft, 24V RGB LED strip that uses Chip Scale Package (CSP) LEDs on a 10 mm tape with 840 LEDs per meter, rated IP30 and UL Listed. The strip delivers full RGB color mixing for indoor accent, architectural, and decorative lighting projects.
Q: Is this strip for indoor or outdoor use?
A: This model is IP30 rated for indoor use only. It should be installed in dry locations such as coves, cabinets, feature walls, and displays. For any area exposed to moisture or weather, a higher-IP-rated outdoor strip should be used instead.
Q: How much power does the strip use and what driver do I need?
A: The strip operates on 24V DC and draws about 3.3 watts per foot (≈0.5 A per meter). A compatible 24V constant-voltage power supply sized for the total connected length plus headroom is required. For example, a full 16.4 ft reel needs roughly 54 W of available capacity.
Q: Can the strip be cut and reconnected?
A: Yes. The tape can be cut at marked points every 50 mm (about 2 in), with 42 LEDs per cut section. After cutting, sections are typically reconnected using compatible RGB 4-pin connectors or soldered joints; for best results, connections should be made in junction boxes or channels appropriate to the installation.
Q: How does this CSP RGB strip differ from standard RGB LED strips?
A: Compared with many standard RGB strips, this model uses CSP LEDs, a higher LED density (840/m), and a wide 180° beam angle, which improves thermal performance and produces smoother, more continuous color with fewer visible hot spots. It’s designed as a professional-grade indoor strip with UL Listing and a long rated lifetime.
Q: What is the expected lifetime and warranty?
A: The strip is rated for 50,000 hours of operation when the temperature at the critical point stays below 140°F and includes a 6-year warranty when used within its published electrical and environmental limits.
Q: How do I track an order or handle a damaged item?
A: Once an order ships, HitLights sends an email with a tracking number and a link to UPS or USPS so shipment progress can be monitored. If an item arrives damaged, customers are asked to call 1-855-768-4135 or email customerservice@hitlights.com for assistance.
