The Luma5 LED Strip Light High Density 16.4ft is a single color 12V LED tape designed for bright, uniform indoor accent lighting in cabinets, displays, and architectural details. From residential kitchens to retail shelves, it provides smooth, continuous light in a compact 8 mm strip.
Engineered by HitLights, this strip uses high density SMD 2835 LEDs—36 LEDs per foot and 600 LEDs per 16.4 ft reel—to reduce hotspots and shadows while delivering 252–300 lumens per foot with a CRI of 90+ for accurate color rendering. Rated IP30 for indoor use, it is UL Listed and operates on 12V DC for compatibility with common LED drivers.
- High density output: 36 LEDs/ft for smooth, uniform light with 252–300 lm/ft.
- Color-accurate: 90+ CRI in 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, and 5000K options.
- Flexible installation: 16.4 ft (5 m) reel, 8 mm width, cuttable every 25 mm (3 LEDs).
- Reliable performance: 60,000-hour rated life, backed by a 6-year warranty.
The strip is dimmable when paired with compatible HitLights LED dimmable drivers or EZDim controls, allowing fine-tuned brightness for task, accent, or ambient lighting scenarios. With its single color output and high CRI, it suits under cabinet lighting, display cases, coves, bookshelves, and other detail work where color fidelity matters.
Unlike standard density LED strips, this high density design places more LEDs per foot, helping minimize visible spotting along reflective surfaces such as countertops and glossy cabinetry. IP30 construction focuses on dry, indoor environments, keeping the strip ideal for finished interiors rather than outdoor or damp locations.
Luma5 is a practical choice for electricians, cabinet shops, retail designers, and DIY users who need consistent, high quality indoor strip lighting with clear specifications, long life, and straightforward integration into 12V low-voltage systems.
WHAT'S INCLUDED:
Q: What is the HitLights Luma5 high density LED strip used for?
A: The Luma5 high density LED strip is a single color 16.4 ft 12V tape light for bright, uniform indoor accent lighting. It is commonly used under cabinets, in display cases, coves, and bookshelves where smooth, continuous light and accurate color rendering are important.
Q: Who is this Luma5 LED strip best suited for?
A: This strip suits electricians, cabinetmakers, retail display designers, and DIY homeowners needing reliable indoor task or accent lighting. Its 90+ CRI, multiple color temperatures from 2700K to 5000K, and high density layout make it practical for professional projects and detailed residential installs.
Q: How do I power and dim the Luma5 high density LED strip?
A: The Luma5 strip runs on 12V DC and should be powered by a compatible 12V LED driver sized for its load at 2.6 W per foot. For dimming, it is designed to work with HitLights LED dimmable drivers or EZDim controls, allowing smooth brightness control for different applications.
Q: What are the main technical specifications of this LED strip?
A: The strip is 16.4 ft (5 m) long, 8 mm wide, and uses SMD 2835 LEDs with 36 LEDs per foot and 600 LEDs per reel. It delivers 252–300 lumens per foot, features a 90+ CRI, operates on 12V DC at 2.6 W/ft, and is UL Listed with a 6-year warranty and 60,000-hour rated life.
Q: Can this LED strip be used outdoors or in damp locations?
A: No, the Luma5 strip is IP30 rated and intended for indoor use only. It should be installed in dry locations away from moisture, splashing water, or exposed weather. For outdoor or wet-area installations, a higher IP-rated strip would be required instead of this IP30 model.
Q: Can I cut and customize the length of the Luma5 LED strip?
A: Yes, the strip can be cut every 25 mm, which corresponds to three LEDs per section. Cut only at the marked cut points, and use appropriate connectors or soldering techniques to maintain electrical continuity and preserve the strip’s performance and safety.
Q: What is the warranty and expected lifetime of this strip?
A: The Luma5 high density LED strip carries a 6-year warranty and a rated lifetime of 60,000 hours when operated within the specified temperature limits. This long service life makes it suitable for permanent installations where maintenance access is limited and reliability is important.
