LED 3030 vs 5050

SMD (Surface-Mount Device) Size and Shape

• 3030: Rectangular, 3.0mm x 3.0mm
• 5050: Rectangular, 5.0mm x 5.0mm

Number of LEDs per Package

• 3030: Single LED
• 5050: Three LEDs in one package (RGB, RGBW, CW-WW)

Luminous Intensity

• 3030: Typically brighter per LED
• 5050: Brighter overall due to having multiple LEDs per package

Color Temperature and CRI

• Both 3030 and 5050 LEDs offer a wide range of color temperatures and CRI values.

Viewing Angle

• 3030: Typically narrower viewing angle
• 5050: Wider viewing angle due to the multiple LEDs

Power Consumption

• 3030: Lower power consumption per LED due to its smaller size
• 5050: Higher power consumption overall due to having multiple LEDs

Heat Dissipation

• 3030: Better heat dissipation due to its larger surface area
• 5050: May require additional heat sinks due to the higher power consumption

Applications

• 3030: Suitable for applications requiring high brightness and narrow beam angle, such as spotlights, flashlights, and automotive lighting.
• 5050: Ideal for applications requiring high overall brightness and wide viewing angle, such as signage, architectural lighting, and home décor.

Cost

• 3030: Typically more expensive on a per-LED basis
• 5050: More cost-effective overall due to the lower price per lumen.
