I'm developing a measurement tool which composes of a LED-strip. The LED strip need to be approx. 1 meter, and I aim to find a strip with the highest possible brightness available on the market (cost is of no problem). I have found some that claim ca 1000 lm/ft. But as a laymen I would like your feedback on the "brightest LED strip" on the market 2024. The color temp is of no interest, but is there any color that is preferable for MAX brightness?
I’m looking for some leds that can replace lights on my room, specially because there is no light switch?
Ps: Meross leds are not that bright. Probably looking into the Aqara m1 or the nanoleaf essentials.

For background, I'm very familiar with / invested in the Hue ecosystem. I have the bulbs throughout my house controlled by Alexa, and I think it's a fantastic product. However, I've never used the LED strips, nor any other LED strips, so this is a whole new area for me.
I'd never install any other products in the house for the sake of simplicity, but as I'm currently in the process of renovating / converting an outbuilding that will be used as a games room I'm open to using other products if there is an argument for doing so. This is a project that has been literally years in the making, so I'm not looking to save money if Hue is the best option - but I want to make sure that there isn't a better alternative before going ahead with Hue just because it's what I'm familiar with.
Essentially, I need the best / brightest LED strips available which are Alexa compatible. I don't need any fancy effects as I much prefer solid colours, it's brightness that's key. The outbuilding is an open plan room with a pitched roof, and I plan on running a channel around the room at the point where the vertical walls meet the angled walls of the ceiling for LED strips to be installed for uplighting.
I'm converting the building because I collect pinball machines, so I can't have any normal bulbs or spotlights above them due to the reflection off the glass. The room is approx 8.5m x 4.5m, and the plan is to eventually have a line of machines down each 8.5m wall of the room, with a corridor of sorts down the middle. The LED strips won't be the only light source - I plan on having a few pendant lights with Hue filament bulbs down the centre 'corridor' of the room for atmosphere- but I like some ambient light when playing, so I need LED strips that can throw a decent amount of light upwards towards the pitched ceiling.
I've been doing some research and the three most recommended types of LED strip seem to be Hue, LIFX and GoVee. Given the above, and ignoring the cost, which should I go for?
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated - this is a total dream project that I've been waiting years to do, so I really want to get it right!
I am looking to get a bright line of light in a super small form factor with a shitload of punch. Cool white is the idea, but would love to be able to mix colours if output isn’t compromised.
Google has turned up some results, but I wonder if any of the lumen-Redditors have experience with such units.
Any ideas?
I am looking for some super bright LED strips, preferably 40-50 feet long. I need to illuminate a window for a building that will be diffused and clearly viewable from the road.
It has to be LED strips since there is a wooden object behind the window.
Guessing the cheap stuff on Amazon is low brightness junk? I tried one, and I think it was like 400 lumsn per meter, which was very dark IMO.
Hi, What is the brightest RGB Strips light available?
I'd like to get a roll that is brighter than the one I use now.
I am currently using these
TLDR: What are the highest quality 24v white, high CRI, LED strips you can get in 2024?
Trying to find LED strip lights is overwhelming. A lot of information is out of date and google/reddit search aren't very helpful being that there are soooo many LED related things the last decade. Then add in all the internet stores selling rebranded light strips as "premium"...
My project is as follows:
I want to make a room super bright. Outdoors type bright. So I'm looking for 5000k and up with high CRI and high brightness. Just white, no RGB. I plan to mount the LEDS in a aluminum corner molding along the ceiling of 2 to 4 walls of the small room.
So far all my research has taken me to flexfireleds. But most of their advertising seems to be a decade old and I want to make sure they are still a good option considering the pretty extreme price.
Hi,
I am looking for LED strips with really bright colors. I have tried a 12V COB Strip and it is too dim for my taste. Where do I find something better?
I've been using H801 controllers to run generic RGBW LED strips in my house. Up to this point, the $12 generic strips have been working just fine for accent lighting. However, I just got another one hoping to make an aquarium hood out of it, but these generic strips just aren't quite bright enough to illuminate the aquarium enough for my liking.
I'm looking to see if anyone has any recomendations on some RGBW strips that are a step above the generic ones I've been using.
Thanks
I've bought several strips from https://www.superbrightleds.com, and they've been brighter than those like yours I've bought off eBay. They actually give you the proper lumens, unlike most on eBay I've come across. I put some on the underside of some handrails going to the basement, and I sort of wish they weren't so bright now.
Are there any bright plain white ones?
I'm working on making some infinity mirror tail lights for my car, LED strips around the outside would be perfect, but they need to be bright enough to see 1000' away in full daylight to be road-legal.
Cars run on a 12V system so having a 12V strip would make my life significantly easier. The light housings would be about 4" diameter, so with 2 layers of LED strips I would have 2' of LEDs on each side that need to meet that brightness requirement.
Anybody have any suggestions? I'd prefer to just have a single color and not deal with controllers but I'll look into all RGB suggestions too.
This site has a sort by brightness option
To get this high of a brightness with only 12 volts is physically nearly impossible. You would have to put either extra batteries in your trunk or you have to transform up the 12V trough a shitload of Transformers who would take up a good pet of your trunk. Plus, the transformers are kinda unsafe. So the only answer would be extra batteries. The brightes LEDs who work on 12V I ever saw are about 10.000 Mili Candela. 1 Candela is roughly the brightness of one Candle in a Distance of one meters. So you can imagine that an LED with the brightness of 100 Candles in 1 Meter distance is probably not enough to fulfill your requirements. And the One LED takes up the full 12V.
I have been wondering what are the best led strips for my ceiling. I am going to do an cloudy sky on my ceiling with led strips and cotton. Philips hue is bit out of my price range. The leds should preferrably be 5 meters and should be able to be controlled via an app.
What are the brightest LEDs I can get in a strip style that I can put in aluminum channel with a diffuser? Don't care about the voltage or if they are grouped or individual elements. It's for a back patio.
Are you talking per individual LED module or per foot?
Per foot would most likely be the super high density strips with 144 LEDs per meter.
Per LED module would likely be one of the strips that has separate white LED in addition to the RGB.
Slime- they all have a basic light output based on a SMD 5050 LED chip. You will obtain more brightness using higher density strips like 144 LEDs per meter as olderaccout said. Keep in mind that more LEDs per meter will draw more amperage so you may want to power using 12v vs 5v and do power injection every 3 meters to assure adequate power supply
I'm wanting to do some custom tail lights on my car but am unsure which is bright enough to use. (Doing multiple rows)
For automotive, you need to check with local regulations on external lighting, as there are some restrictions. You will probably also want to use 12V LEDs, and make sure you wire them appropriately, so that you don't drain the battery. Some people will put a splitter or wire to the cigarette lighter.
Many WS8211 LEDs have a tendency to be brighter than WS2815 varients.
If you are doing sometype of underglow, you should figure out the number of LEDs per meter based on the ground coverage of the light. Since the lights will be above the ground shining down, (which gets wider the farther away it is), you can often use fewer LEDs to get the correct effect.
That's reassuring. I bought some single colour 12v 2835 strips with 240leds/m and a few with 120leds/m.
White yellow and red ofc so I can keep all the previous tail light functions.
Gainesville, FL:
I need to light up a store window so it is very noticeable to street traffic. I realize that during the day it won't be very impactful but at dusk or at night Id like it to stand out quite a bit.
I saw a local store with very bright LEDs and it was hard to miss at night. From a distance it looked like the window was surrounded in a dashed box of light.
I've been looking on eBay and see these 5050 LEDs but I'm worried they won't do the trick.
I've got a $50 budget for lights with AC adapter. Is this possible?
I'm lighting up an other motorcycle. last time I used 3528 red, and this time time I was thinking of using 5050 red or yellow, but I'm wondering if there is anything brighter on the market, while still affordable?
Also what is brighter, 300/5m 5050 or 600/5m 3528?
(I'm not using RGB/ color changing, mostly because single colors means less can go wrong, and easier to install)
What strip would you recommend for the following:
a) Cool white strip - around 5000-6500k
b) 12V or 24V
c) Analog
I plan to use it on various applications but for now, i like to use it to brighten up my network rack and its surrounding areas so that it would be easy to work on the cables if needed.
note: link to amazon would be great if you have a recommended item
So far this seems to be the best i can find
