Multibar3090 Nichia LED Strip warm white CRI90 3000K 850lm 24V 44 LEDs 50cm bar (1700lm/m 13W/m)

Multibar3090 Nichia Rigid LED Strip Warm White 3000K CRI90, Plug & Play 50 cm Bar

The Multibar3090 is a rigid 50 cm LED bar for professional and residential lighting that is installed like a construction kit: thanks to the Multibar plug & play system, bars are joined into long, continuous lines of light without soldering. Its 44 Nichia 757 series mid-power LEDs (88 per meter) deliver 850 lm per bar, 1700 lm per meter, at only 6.47 W, an efficacy of 131 lm/W, with a color rendering index above 90: a high output for general, task and accent lighting.

The flat 10 mm wide bar operates at 24 V constant voltage and needs no additional cooling. It can be cut every 45.45 mm, and the connectors still fit the cut pieces, so lines can be adapted exactly to cabinets, shelves, coves and luminaires. Nichia binning to a 3-step MacAdam ellipse guarantees uniform warm white light, also when an installation is extended or serviced later. The 3000K light color creates a soothing warm white light that keeps a relaxing atmosphere but adds a little more clarity than 2700K. Multibar strips are made in Germany and backed by a 5-year warranty.

Applications of the Multibar3090 LED Strip 3000K

With its plug & play system, CRI90 light quality and slim format, the Multibar3090 3000K is designed for the following main applications:

• Linear lighting: Joined with direct connectors in our Alubar profiles or other slim aluminum profiles, Multibar strips form seamless lines of light for ceilings, walls, shelves and pendant luminaires. For example, three bars (1.5 m) deliver 2550 lm at about 19.4 W. With 88 LEDs per meter (a pitch of about 11 mm) and a frosted cover, the line is uniform; one line provides task lighting for kitchen worktops, desks and shop shelves, and general lighting in many residential spaces. Read more in our guides on creating lines of light with LED strips and designing efficient LED linear lamps.
• Cove lighting: In ceiling and wall coves, the bars produce soft, glare-free indirect light. With 1700 lm per meter, the Multibar3090 is bright enough for general room lighting from a single cove line in residential spaces. Cable connectors bridge the corners of the cove without soldering. Learn how to plan it in our cove lighting guide.
• Troffer and panel lighting: In troffers and LED panels, several rows of bars are mounted on the base plate behind the diffuser, joined with direct or cable connectors, making them a high-quality replacement for fluorescent tubes in reception areas, hotels, shops and other spaces where a warmer, welcoming light is preferred. More about LED strips and modules for troffer lights.
• High-quality white light: With a color rendering index above 90, the Multibar3090 shows colors, materials and food naturally, ideal for merchandise lighting, kitchen worktops, offices, clinics, TV studios and living spaces. The 3000K color temperature gives a soothing warm white light that keeps a relaxing atmosphere but adds a little more clarity than 2700K.

The Multibar Plug & Play System

Multibar strips are not just rigid LED bars, but a complete, solder-free lighting system. Their plug-fit connection lets you join bars into long, continuous lines of light in seconds, and the connectors still work after a bar has been cut to length (every 45.45 mm). Up to 9 m of Multibar strips can be connected to each other and supplied from one feed point. The system components (sold separately):

• Direct connector (SKU 54003): joins two bars end to end without a cable. It is designed so that the distance between the LEDs stays exactly the same across the joint, for a seamless line of light without dark gaps.
• Connectors with cable, 6, 100 or 500 cm (SKU 54004, 54008, 54009): bridge corners, edges and gaps, for example around a corner of a cove, between shelves or along furniture.
• Connectors with power supply adapter, 30, 100 or 500 cm (SKU 54005, 54010, 54011): connect the first bar directly to a compatible power supply, for example our 24 V plug & play power supply (SKU 95137, 12 W) for small installations.
• Alubar aluminum profiles, 50 cm (SKU 54910 chrome, 54915 anodized, 38809 black anodized): 13 x 10 mm profiles made for Multibar strips, to be screwed or glued; once inserted, the direct connectors are invisible and the profiles line up without gaps. Matching transparent or frosted covers (SKU 54911, 54912) and closed or open end caps (SKU 54921, 54922) complete the luminaire.
• Spacers, set of 4 (SKU 41510): self-adhesive spacers pressed through the holes of the bar, for quick mounting on hard surfaces with a small air gap.

All connectors are rated for a maximum of 5 A. With 6.47 W (270 mA) per bar, a 9 m line of Multibar3090 strips (18 bars) draws about 4.9 A, well within this limit.

Installation and Operation

• Cutting: the bar can be cut every 45.45 mm at the marked cutting points; the plug & play connectors also fit the cut pieces.
• Mounting: insert the bars into our aluminum profiles, for example the Alubar profiles made for Multibar, or fix them on hard surfaces with the spacers (SKU 41510). Avoid mechanical stress on the components.
• Connection: join the bars with direct connectors or connectors with cable, and connect the first bar to the power supply with a power supply adapter. Up to 9 m of bars can be supplied from one feed point; for longer lines, add further feed points.
• Power supply: use a stabilized 24 V DC constant voltage LED driver with short-circuit, overload and overtemperature protection, sized for the connected bars: 6.47 W (270 mA) per bar, plus a safety margin. For dimming, use a dimmable driver or a 24 V PWM dimmer.
• Handling: observe standard ESD precautions, keep the bars away from aggressive chemicals, and store and operate them at 10% to 60% relative humidity.
• Safety: installation must comply with all applicable electrical and safety standards and should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Why the Multibar3090 Outperforms Low-Cost LED Strips

Compared with low-cost LED strips, the Multibar3090 differs in three areas that decide how long a lighting installation performs well:

• LED quality: we use only brand-name LEDs from Nichia, the Japanese LED market leader whose researchers invented the blue and white LED technology, with full manufacturer datasheets and performance tested in the lab and in real applications. Low-cost strips often use LED chips of unknown origin, without certified data, so their quality and color vary from one purchase to the next.
• PCB design and materials: high-quality materials and a design without mechanical and electrical weak points, for good current flow, heat transfer and long-term reliability.
• Realistic specifications: all values are measured at a junction temperature of 65°C, so the performance in our datasheet matches what you get in a real installation.
