Hi-Intensity Low Profile Surface Mounted LED Strips for Outdoor & Motor Vehicle Applications

August 2022. Now available in Single Color, DUAL COLOR, RGB, RGBW, RGBA and RGBWW!

Introducing our Hi-Intensity Surface Mounted LED strips with more LEDs per inch than comparable strips on the market today. There are 8 possible single color options (Red, Green, Blue, White, Orange, Amber, Pink, UV/Purple) and FOUR multi-color options (RGB, RGBW, RGBWW, RGBA). On the RGBW led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra 2835 diode which is Warm White. That warm white diode has a Kelvin temperature of 2400 which means it has a yellowish look giving it a warmer, softer, candle like look. On the RGBA led strip, in addition to RGB you get one extra 2835 diode which is AMBER (ideal for motor vehicle applications where only AMBER can be used but you still want the option of changing colors). On the RGBWW led strip, in addition to RGB, you get two extra 2835 diodes: One is Warm White (2400 Kelvin) and one is Natural White (4500 Kelvin). We have included a photo below showing the differences in the shades of white. Be sure to click on the SPECS navigation tab for detailed product specifications.

All LED strips are impressively bright (except UV/Purple - see note below). Built with two ounce copper PCB, the brightest 5050 LEDs available and 1.2mm of genuine 3M® VHB double sided tape, these LED strips are made tough for use outdoors on vehicles and other motor sports applications. The LEDs are completely sealed against the elements. They are heat resistant, waterproof and easily cleaned for maintenance free operation. The soft, gel-like strips provide maximum flexibility and a clean and sleek appearance. Their low profile design makes them easy to fit into tight spaces and yet are incredibly bright; nothing brighter on the market. They're available on either white or black PCB in varying lengths ranging from 3 to 300 LEDs. The default configuration has one 36" power lead hard wired to the end of the strip with the option of adding a second power lead on the other end of the strip for motorcycle applications.  It can be handy if you don't know the exact length of LED strip you need but you don't want any waste. Simply cut the LED strip in the appropriate location and you now have two strips each with their own power lead. The LED strips can be cut every 3 LEDs. If you want longer power leads, we offer additional power lead length options.

The maximum length of a single LED strip is 16' (300 LEDs). They cannot be daisy chained together as you run a very real risk of fire and/or damaging the LED strips permanantly. The laws of electricity won't allow it to go longer with today's commercially available technology using 12vdc power and super bright 5050 led chips. If your application requires longer than 16' (e.g. 20'), you have two options. One is to simply center the 16' LED strip in that 20' space. Boogey Lights are already very bright so for most folks, having enough light is never a concern. This is what most people do. That said, some prefer to have full coverage of the entire 20' area. In that case it's possible to cover that entire 20' span using two LED strips. In the case of a 20' span you can order two - 10' LED strips. Then, the two LED strips (totalling 20') are installed such that the two LED strips butt together; end to end, which gives the illusion of a single 20' long LED strip.

For Single Color LEDs, we offer the ability to order the strip with either a 2 conductor or 4 conductor power lead wire. The default is 2 conductor (black and red). Each LED has 3 diodes. In a single color LED, all 3 diodes are the same color. We normally will bridge the 12vdc power at the end of the strip such that all 3 diodes are connected to the red power lead conductor. If however you want to be able to control the power going to each of the 3 diodes, we will use 4 conductor power lead cable. This configuration is ideal for situations where you're using the single color LED strip and want to control the brightness of the strip by lighting one, two or all three diodes (e.g. brake lights, turning indicators and running lights.)  

What is RED+Amber (REDA)?

REDA is a new type of LED strip we designed. It uses our single color RED tri-chip technology with the addition of a fourth diode that is AMBER. Designed primarily for motor vehicle tail-turn-brake applications, that fourth AMBER diode can be wired to the left and right turning indicator circuits. The remaining three RED diodes are wired such that one diode connects to the running light circuit and the remaining two diodes connects to the brake circuit.

What is RGB+Amber (RGBA)?

RGBA is a new type of LED strip we designed. It includes our core RGB tri-chip technology with the addition of a fourth diode that is AMBER. Designed primarily for motor vehicle applications, that fourth AMBER diode can be wired to a separate switch on the dash that allows you to quickly and easily turn on just the AMBER leds which meets DOT compliance regulations. Then, for those who want the flexibility to also be able to display up to 16 million other color combinations using our RGB LED Controller, they can do that too. RGB + A provides the best of both worlds. Note that due to the addition of that fourth diode, the RGBA LED strip is wider than our standard tri-chip LED strips.  They're 11/16" wide (vs 1/2" for the tri-chip strips).

What is DUAL COLOR?

The Dual Color LED configuration uses our RGBA LED strip but instead of pairing that LED strip with an RGB LED controller (to mix up to 16 million different color combinations), we hard wire a combination of one, two or all three of the RGB diodes (red, green or blue) along with the AMBER diode to two on/off switches. One switch operates the primary color diode(s). The other switch operates the amber diode. There are a total of seven Dual Color configuration options: RED+AMBER, GREEN+AMBER, BLUE+AMBER, MAGENTA+AMBER, YELLOW+AMBER, CYAN+AMBER, WHITE+AMBER.  With a Dual Color configuration you don't need an LED Controller. Instead, you only need two switches (and relays); one to control each color. The primary color is chosen from the available dual color drop down list. The secondary color is always amber.

The RGB, RGBW, RGBA and RGBWW multi-color strips requires an LED controller to operate the RGB diodes.

The AMBER and RED single color LED strips are DOT COMPLIANT. They conform to applicable provisions of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 requirements.
