Custom LED Module Order Process explained & Technical details:
Build Your Own RGB+TW LED Flexible LED strips, Made in Germany, with Nichia, Osram, or Seoul Semiconductor LEDs, on PI or PET flexible PCB, up to 50m long and 20mm wide.
Step 1: Order Quantity (m)
How many meters do you need. While there is no MOQ, we recommend at least 1000 meters. The ordered quantity will be delivered in reels of 5, 10 or 50m, that you can then cut to the desired length, based on the cutting unit.
The cutting unit is based on the number of LEDs per meter and the choice of voltage, and can range from 3mm to 50mm (see image for details).
Step 2: LED Strip Width (mm).
The Flexible LED strip can be ordered in standard widths, from 5mm to 20mm. For different dimensions to those on offer, please contact us.
Step 3: Multicolor LED Module Type
The type of LED module can be:
Step 4: Multicolor LED Configuration
A multicolor LED light module can have various LED configurations, based on the choice between single chip LEDs or multi-chip LEDs. Light output from single chip LEDs is significantly higher, while multi-chip LEDs make possible a more compact light system, with smooth colors. Here you can choose which types of LEDs you want to use, for RGB and/or the White light.
TW (Tunable-White) LED Configuration offers the following choices:
RGB LED configuration (Dynamic-Special Color LED Type) offers the following choices:
RGB-W LED Configuration offers the following choices:
Step 5: Dynamic-Special Color LED Type
The dynamic-special color component of the module can be built with:
1) Osram RGB 3:1 DISPLIX LED, with all colors inside:
2) Nichia Azure Dynasolis, a LED solution that regulates circadian rhythms by simultaneously adjusting melanopic illuminance1 and color temperature while maintaining high CRI and high efficacy.
3) A pair of three Red, Green and Blue LEDs from the latest generation Nichia 757 COLOR LED series, the industry leading 3030 Mid-power LEDs. The 757 LED series have industry's highest luminous efficacy (up to 222 lm/w) and reliability (up to 100.000h L70 lifetime). Each LED has a typical consumption of 0.2W at 65mA, for a luminous flux up to 45 lm.

Nichia 757 Color LEDs include:
**See Nichia LED spectrum.
4) NF2W757G-MT (Tunable White): Nichia's 2-in-1 Tunable White LED, developed to emit and control the two color temperatures out of an LED's single light-emitting surface. With CRI80 or 90
The datasheet will specify the LED part number.
5) Osram RGB 3:1 + Nichia TW 2:1 LEDs, for the complete color and white spectrum at CRI80 or 90.
Step 6: White LED Color temperature
Different color temperatures create different visual effects and are appropriate for different environments. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) on a scale from 'warm' to 'cool': The 'warmer' the light, the lower the number of Kelvin. The 'cooler' the light, the higher the number of Kelvin. You can read more about the recommended color temperature for a project in our blog.
For warm, neutral or cold white, various color temperature choices are available.
Step 7: White LED CRI and Special Type
The white light component of the module, with single chip LEDs, can be built with:
1) The latest generation Nichia white 757 LED series, the industry leading 3030 Mid-power LEDs. The 757 LED series have industry's highest luminous efficacy (up to 222 lm/w) and reliability (up to 100.000h L70 lifetime). Each LED has a typical consumption of 0.2W at 65mA, for a luminous flux up to 45 lm.

Special Nichia 757 LED types include:
*Not all color temperatures are available for every LED type or CRI. The datasheet will specify Nichia LED part number.
2) The full spectrum option, CRI95+ Seoul Semiconductor 3030 SunLike LEDs.
Step 8: LED Strip Forward Voltage (V)
To power a LED strip, an external power supply is required, that will ensure it receives the recommended current and voltage. Without it, the current in the LEDs will rise exponentially with the applied voltage, as a small change in voltage leads to a large change in current, until the maximum current is reached and the module burns up.
The external power supply can be a 12/24/48VDC constant voltage power supply
You can choose the LED module to be built with a current regulation mode so it can function with constant voltage transformers for 12VDC, 24VDC or 48VDC. For this purpose, the LEDs will be placed in series, with the current regulation component after each group:
The options above, will determine the selection of the number of LEDs per module (at step 9), as the latter must be divisible by the number of LEDs in series. For example, for 24VDC you can have 70 LEDs per meter but not 60 LEDs. If you require 60 LEDs per meter, then the LED strip has to be at 12V or 48V.
For a project with large quantities of LED modules/strip connected in long rows, a constant voltage 24VDC circuit design is the best solution.
Step 9: LED Quantity per Meter for Each Color (pcs)
The LED Quantity per Meter for each color (pcs). The strip will have an equal number of LEDs for all colors/channels. Example for 30 LEDs:
The LED Quantity per Strip (pcs) determines the total luminous flux and application. Below some guidelines for Nichia 4000K CRI80 LEDs:
| Luminous flux /m | LEDs/50cm |
| <1000lm/m | 15-20 LEDs |
| 1000-3000lm/m | 35-49 LEDs |
| 3000-5000lm/m | 56-70 LEDs |
| >5000lm/m | 70-120 LEDs |
We recommend that the total number of LEDs that will be used to build your custom module to be as close as possible to a multiple of 5000 for each color.
Step 10: LED Strip PCB Quality
The Flexible LED Strip will be made on PI PCB.
There are 2 quality levels:
PCB has the following standard characteristics: 50 micrometers of base material, white solder resist color, Hal lead-free, Surface finish, black Silkscreen color.
Step 11: Current Regulation Mode
The Current Regulation component for the series of LEDs can be a simple resistor for Best Value Mode or a linear regulator for Premium Mode. The latter is recommended to achieve the maximum lifetime of the LEDs module.
Step 14: Waterproof Rating (IP)
The LED strip can have no waterproof rating, IP65 or IP67. IP 65 or IP67 is made with LumProtect®, our pioneering Lamination Process. Remarkable durability is achieved through the application of multiple layers of a resilient polymer to each side of the LED strip's flexible circuit board. Our process utilizes heat and pressure to create a strong bond, ensuring complete encapsulation of the components without any air entrapment. This innovative approach positions LumProtect® LED strips as a leader in robustness and versatility in the industry.
When the production of your order is completed, we can pack the LED strips and deliver in 5m, 10m or 50m reels. We recommend the 50m reel as a packing choice, for no additional cost. Packing in 5m or 10m reels implies additional cost that is added to the order total.
Step 16: Scope of Delivery
The order process and online payment can be made for the full Order Quantity (pcs) or for drawing, design or samples. Based on your choice, the scope of delivery and the payment will be:
- Dimensional drawing, with position of the LEDs, solder pads, current regulation components, printed information on the PCB.
- Summary of the main characteristics (technical data of the cutting unit), including dimensions, operation mode, voltage, current, power, color temperature, luminous flux, efficiency, CRI, LED type.
- PCB information: base material, layers, copper.
Step 17: Advanced Options
If you have the design of your LED module already made in detail or have special requirements, then we recommend filling the relevant details in the ADVANCED OPTIONS section. Only fill in the fields relevant to you. You can also provide this information via email, in the Design validation stage.
The advanced options should not change the characteristics of the LED module and/or the order value.
