Yeelight SMD LED Marking -5050 Attached Image
Characteristics of a single 5050 LED
  • Luminous flux, Lm 15
  • Power 0.2 W
  • Temperature up to + 65
  • Current, ampere 0.06
  • Voltage, Volt 3.3
  • Dimensions, mm 5 x 5

There are 60 LEDs in 2 meters of tape.

To connect the segments and the controller, CN2-10MM connectors are useful -link.

Option 1: Wiring RGB tapes with one power supply
Limiting factors:
  1. The maximum length of series tapes connected should not exceed 5 meters.
    In detail
    You can not connect a new segment to the tape in series, if the length of the tape already exceeds 5 meters!
    In the case of such a connection, the LED tape will work in the wrong mode, a large current will flow through the first 5-meter section and warm it up, which will lead to degradation of the LEDs and their failure, and the second piece of tape connected to the end of the first one will receive less current and weaker shine. This design works, but not for long.

  2. The throughput of the Yeelight controller is limited in both serial and parallel connections.


The total power consumption of LED strips should not exceed 80% of the specified nominal power of the power supply.
Scheme

+ Pros

-Minuses
  • Increasing the size of the power supply
  • Length limit due to controller bandwidth


Option 2: Connection scheme of LED RGB tapes using RGB amplifiers
It is possible to connect amplifiers to a tape both consistently and in parallel. Power supply units are selected separately for the length of the segments. Or you can share one.

  • No length limit

If you want to add up to 3 meters to the tape, then change only the power supply

what power supply do you need to buy to connect these two tapes? and it is possible without soldering, a certain connector?

Gentlemen, but do not tell me, BP typesuch agoes if you add another 2m 5050 SMD 30 led? In terms of power, it seems to go, only the current from the native 1a, and this one gives out 2a.



Rep: (72)
* Medd, Yes



Rep: (33)
* ALEX @ !,
And where to connect the additional tape? Something I do not see on the cut-off line of the connection points as on ordinary RGB tapes

Rep: (72)
* Medd, Because they are under the paint. Or look at the bottom. Moreover, there are no points there. There are just four insulated conductors. They need to be cleaned from insulation.

Rep: (33)
* ALEX @! , it is now clear. Those. connectors will not work to add 1m. Need to solder



Rep: (15)
Good afternoon, tell me please - it is possible somewhere to buy a controller separately, to control the tape via Wi-Fi. I plan to connect 10 meters of LED strip, so I think why I need 2 meters of the original tape and a power supply for that price, if I have to buy a separate (different) power supply and tape separately. Interested only in the manufacturer Yeelight.



Rep: (72)
* sasHka-dj, Xiaomi Aqara RGB LED Controller (at the end of the list) - it will probably be, but it is not for sale and it is not known whether it will be sold at all. For you, the option is only to buy two meters from Yeelight, and then buy RGB amplifiers and a powerful power supply.

Thank. I understand it, I searched everywhere (Ali, GB, Railway) - I did not find it, probably it is not for sale separately. I will think



Rep: (33)
* ALEX @ !,
By the way, there are places for soldering on the tape. They are every 0.5 meters. And they look the same as on all ordinary tapes.



Rep: (0)
Tell me, can I extend this tape to 5.8 meters, without replacing the power supply and using amplifiers?



Rep: (33)
* S_DMiTRiY_A , not. A meter of such a tape from other manufacturers stated eats 7.2W at its peak. This tape has a 12W power supply. At 2m there is this PSU. In your opinion, from a 12W unit you will squeeze out 42W, how much is needed for 5.8m tape?



Rep: (0)
Medd, Thanks, with bp it is clear. Do you need amplifiers in my case? And how to connect, in series or in parallel?



Rep: (33)
* ALEX @ !,
But do not tell me whether it is possible to include the tape except through an application or a wire button to organize? Are there any wireless buttons? To put near the couch and not drag the phone with you or not to climb into the drawer, to turn on the tape

The photo shows 4 contacts. As I understand it, half-meter pieces of tape are simply lapped in this tape. So?

* Medd, I’ll tell you a secret, the tape can participate in scripts. If you add to it gateway and button it will turn out a wireless switch.

Apparently yes

* Medd , the cube is more convenient



Rep: (4)
Who uses two controllers in different parts of the room? What are the synchronization options?
Or are they displayed as different devices in the application?
Can dynamic color change work on different controllers synchronously?



Rep: (7)
Good day. If I need to add 1 meter, solder 1 meter (more precisely 85 cm) of the same tape to 2 meters, do I need to buy something else or will the unit pull and will it be updated and all the "buns" will function? thank



Rep: (72)
* GAD1,
The power supply must be purchased
