2835
- Dimensions: 2.8mm x 3.5mm
- Power consumption: Typically lower than 5050 LEDs
- Brightness: Typically lower than 5050 LEDs
- Beam angle: Narrower beam angle (typically 120 degrees)
- Applications: Suitable for accent lighting, backlighting, and use in small spaces
5050
- Dimensions: 5.0mm x 5.0mm
- Power consumption: Typically higher than 2835 LEDs
- Brightness: Typically brighter than 2835 LEDs
- Beam angle: Wider beam angle (typically 120-140 degrees)
- Applications: Suitable for general lighting, floodlighting, and outdoor use
Comparison
| Characteristic | 2835 | 5050 |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Smaller (2.8mm x 3.5mm) | Larger (5.0mm x 5.0mm) |
| Power consumption | Lower | Higher |
| Brightness | Lower | Higher |
| Beam angle | Narrower (120 degrees) | Wider (120-140 degrees) |
| Applications | Accent lighting, backlighting, small spaces | General lighting, floodlighting, outdoor use |
Conclusion
2835 LEDs are more suitable for applications where size, low power consumption, and narrow beam angle are important. 5050 LEDs are preferred for applications requiring higher brightness, wider beam angle, and general lighting purposes.
