Frequently asked questions
Common questions about DIODE LED from 3G Electric.
What voltage do DIODE LED flexible linear LED spools require?
DIODE LED flexible linear LED spools operate on 24 V DC input. This low-voltage requirement allows for safe installation in environments where line-voltage wiring is impractical, and it facilitates integration with standard 24 V LED drivers and dimming systems. Always verify the power supply rating matches the total wattage of the connected spools.
What is the maximum run length for a single DIODE LED spool?
DIODE LED spools are available in maximum run lengths of 16.4 ft and 32.8 ft per spool, depending on the model. For example, the MSE series offers 16.4 ft spools, while the TE series provides 32.8 ft spools. Exceeding these lengths may cause voltage drop and reduced light output; use parallel wiring or additional power feeds for longer runs.
What color temperatures are available for DIODE LED tape lights?
DIODE LED offers color temperatures of 2700K (warm white), 3000K (warm white), 3500K (white), and 4000K (white). These options cover a range from warm to neutral white, suitable for different ambient lighting requirements. The specific color temperature is indicated in the model number, e.g., DI-24V-MSE-LIN-27-016 for 2700K.
Can DIODE LED flexible linear LED spools be cut to custom lengths?
Yes, DIODE LED spools are designed to be cut at designated cut points, typically every few inches, allowing for custom lengths. However, the product specifications provided do not detail exact cut intervals. For precise installation, refer to the manufacturer's instructions or contact 3G Electric for guidance on cutting and re-termination.
What is the rated lifetime of DIODE LED spools?
DIODE LED spools have a rated lifetime of 50,000 hours. This is based on standard LED lumen maintenance projections (e.g., L70 or L80) under typical operating conditions. Actual lifespan may vary depending on ambient temperature, ventilation, and driver quality.
Are DIODE LED spools compatible with dimmers?
DIODE LED spools operate on 24 V DC and are compatible with PWM (pulse-width modulation) dimmers designed for constant-voltage LED loads. The specific dimming compatibility depends on the LED driver used. For best results, select a driver that supports 0-10 V or trailing-edge dimming as appropriate for the installation.
