Rigid LED strip manufacturers underscore improved luminous efficacy

Companies are releasing models with 2835 LEDs to widen reach in the indoor illumination market. They are positioning the line for the switch from fluorescent tubes. China makers of rigid LED strips are adopting diodes with higher luminous efficacy to expand their selections and boost penetration of the indoor lighting segment. A number are tapping 2835 LEDs with up to 100 lm/W and lower attenuation compared with mainstream 5050, 5630 and 5730 versions. Suppliers such as Shenzhen QCG introduced models last year. The company’s 12W units feature 90 lm/W, and come in white, warm white and cool white.
