Comparison

| Feature | 3030 LED | 5050 LED |

|---|---|---|

| Size | 3.0mm x 3.0mm | 5.0mm x 5.0mm |

| Shape | Square | Square |

| Emitted light | Single color | Single color or RGB |

| Brightness | 60-100 lumens/watt | 100-150 lumens/watt |

| Beam angle | Narrow (120-150°) | Wider (160°) |

| Operating voltage | 12V | 12V |

| Applications | Spot lighting, task lighting | General lighting, decorative lighting |

Key Differences

• Brightness: 5050 LEDs are typically brighter than 3030 LEDs.
• Beam angle: 5050 LEDs have a wider beam angle, making them better suited for general lighting applications.
• Color: 5050 LEDs can emit multiple colors, including RGB, making them versatile for decorative and automotive lighting applications.

Applications

• 3030 LEDs are ideal for spot lighting, task lighting, and architectural lighting where a narrow beam angle and high brightness are required.
• 5050 LEDs are better suited for general lighting, decorative lighting, and automotive lighting where a wider beam angle, higher brightness, and multiple color options are desired.
