Custom LED Strip Order Process explained & Technical details:

Build Your Own LED Modules, Made in Germany, with Nichia, Cree, Samsung or Seoul Semiconductor LEDs, on FR4 PCB, in Zhaga Book 7 standard dimensions for linear LED modules.

Step 1: Order Quantity (pcs)

How many pieces do you need. While there is no MOQ, we recommend at least 100 pieces of 560mm LED modules. 

Step 2: LED Module Length (mm)

The LED Modules can be ordered in standard Zhaga book 7 lengths of L28 (280mm) and L56 (560mm). To provide installation flexibility, lengths of 70mm and 140mm are available. For different dimensions to those on offer, please contact us. 

Step 3: LED Module Dimensions LXW (mm)

The LED Modules are standard Zhaga book 7 dimensions can be ordered with the standard W2 (20mm and 24mm) and W4 (40mm) widths.  For different dimensions to those on offer, please contact us. 

Step 4: LED Module PCB Material & Quality

The LED Strip will be made on FR4 PCB.

There are 3 quality levels:

• Economy PCB FR4: 1 PCB layer, 1mm PCB Material thickness, 1 oz PCB Copper thickness
• Best Value PCB FR4: 2 PCB layers, 1.6mm PCB Material thickness, 1 oz PCB Copper thickness
• Premium PCB FR4: 2 PCB layers, 1.6mm PCB Material thickness, 1.6 oz PCB Copper thickness

PCB has the following standard characteristics: White solder mask, black silk screen. HAL lead free surface finishing. Minimum trace spacing 0.2mm. Min hole size: 0.3mm (1.5mm aluminum). Minimum component spacing: 0.5mm. Minimum border spacing: 0.5mm

Step 5: LEDs per LED module (pcs):

The LED Quantity per Module (pcs) determines the total luminous flux and application.  Below some guidelines for a 560mm Zhaga LED Module with one row of Nichia LEDs:  

We recommend that the total number of LEDs that will be used to build your custom led strip to be as close as possible to a multiple of 5000. 

 Step 6: 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.

Step 7: LED Type

The LED module can be manufactured with the LEDs of your choice, including the latest generation Nichia 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:

• Optisolis 757 & CRI99: LEDs with a spectrum close to natural light, CRI99, R9 minimum 85
• H6 757 Series & CRI90: LEDs that achieve a color quality better than traditional LEDs (Ra≥90, R9≥50, R15≥85) while maintaining an efficacy better than Ra≥80 LEDs.
• Vitasolis 757 Series & CRI80: Vitasolis LEDs emit a natural white color with a high content of blue-green energy proven to stimulate awakening and supports a vibrant life.
• HPS 757 Series & CRI70: LED that genuinely reproduces the emission color of High-Pressure Sodium lamps (HPS), which is most often used for road lighting and outdoor lighting around the world.
• Rs060 Hortisolis Nichia: the Hortisolis™ Series of White LEDs from Nichia that are to be the most suitable LEDs for plant growth (found at 5000K color temperature selection).
• Special Color Redention: Light that brings out the best in the products such as meat (Rs020 found at 5000K) and fresh food (Rs030)

Not all color temperatures are available for every LED type or CRI. 

Other options include Samsung, Seoul Semiconductor or Cree 2835 LEDs. 

The LED strip datasheet will specify the Nichia/Samsung/Cree/Seoul Semiconductor LED part number.

Step 8: 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 9: LED Module Constant Current (mA)

The LED module can be built to function at a standard constant current value, with choices in the range 175mA to 1400mA. You may choose one of the recommended values, as many drivers options are available for these. Alternately, you can leave to our recommendation.

Step 10: Electrical Connection Type 

• Solder Pads: the LED module will have 2 pairs of Solder Pads at each end, for + / - connection. For LED modules with cutting unit, the 2 pairs will be present at each end of the cutting unit.
• Surface Connection: the LED module will have 2 pairs of Plug-in connectors at each end, for + / - connection. The Plug-in connectors allow the cable with 18AWG...26AWG to be connected without using a soldering iron.

Step 12: 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.

• Your part number: We can print your own part number that you fill, on the PCB of the LED strip, maximum length 10 characters. It will be printed in addition to the information required by European Union law: manufacturer, manufacturer part number, relevant technical information (such as: voltage, current, color temperature, luminous flux, TC), CE, ROSH, Recycling logo. 
• Desired Power Consumption per Module (W): the power consumption per LED module will be considered during the design process. We will inform you if this value is too low or too high because of other technical factors. 
• Desired Luminous Flux per Module (lm): the luminous flux per LED module will be considered during the design process. We will inform you if this value is too low or too high because of other technical factors. 
• LED Module max. Row Length (m): Many projects require multiple LED modules/strips to be powered together in a line. This information can help to properly design the PCB of the LED module.

The advanced options should not change the characteristics of the LED module and/or the order value.

Step 13: Scope of Delivery

The order process and online payment can be made for the full Order Quantity (meters) or for drawing, design or samples. Based on your choice, the scope of delivery and the payment will be:

• Order Quantity (pcs): the full quantity entered at step 1, including drawing, design and samples.
• Design and Samples Only: Drawing, Design and 5 samples of maximum 50 cm each, for the LED strip with the specifications from the order.
• Drawing Only: The drawing of the LED strips, including:
