The CCT adjustable LED strip light is a great way to add atmosphere to your home. The light strip allows you to adjust the hue of the light as you wish. The light strip is ideal for use in different rooms, such as the bedroom, living room or kitchen.
In our everyday lives, lighting is a very important part of home decoration and when we are at home, we want to spend time in a comfortable and relaxing environment. Lighting allows us to create different atmospheres in our homes, which affects our mood and helps us relax. If you want to add ambiance to your home, we recommend you consider a CCT adjustable LED strip light.
Why choose CCT adjustable led strip light?
With the light strip, you can easily create different atmospheres in your home. When you want to relax, you can adjust the colour of the light strip to warm and dim the light. But when you want to work, you can choose a brighter, cooler light.
The CCT adjustable led striplight also helps you save electricity. Led lights are very energy efficient and consume very little electricity compared to conventional lights. This means you can use the strip light for longer, while saving money on your electricity bill.
How does CCT led strip work?
CCT led strip works by regulating the voltage of two different led circuits. The 24V CCT led strip therefore has a cold and a warm led circuit. The Led striptherefore has three wires: a cold negative, a warm negative and a positive wire. The CCT controller regulates the voltage between the two negative conductors:
- If all voltage is directed to cold minus, the light is cold
- If 50% of the voltage is cold and 50% is warm minus the light is neutral
- If all the voltage is in the warm minus range, the light is warm.
CCT led strip
The range includes CCT led strips with different power ratings for different applications. IP21 protected inside and IP65 protected outside.
Here are a few examples of strip selection:
3,6 W/metre CCT led ribbon IP65
A low-powered atmosphere creator. Used in saunas, plinths, stairs and outdoor railings when you want to delimit areas with light.
7,2 W/metre CCT led ribbon IP65
Medium power ambience led strip. Used in saunas, plinths, stairs, out railings, if a little more light is desired, shelves. So basically the same mounting locations as the 3.6W strip, but more power.
14,4 W/metre CCT led ribbon IP21
The most popular CCT led strip. A real all-rounder. Ambient light levels in indirect lighting, and in white kitchens. In indirect light, you should always remember that dark surfaces eat up half of the light, so it is not unusual to use double tapes.
22W/metre CCT led strip IP21
The most popular CCT led strip for kitchen worktops. Slightly better light levels in indirect lighting, and in white kitchens. Often sufficient for dark surfaces in indirect use. Also suitable for washrooms and damp areas, as the mounting profile gives it IP44 protection.
A full range of different CCT led strips can be found in our online store.
SMD CCT led strip and COB CCT led strip
Two different technologies can be used to produce LED strip, of which COB has only just come onto the market.
SMD technology is an older way of making LED strip, where each driver circuit and LED circuit is implanted LED strip separately. Then the distance between the LED points is also larger.
In COB technology, the LED circuits are loaded onto strip containing the driver circuit and cast with phosphor.

CCT led strip control
For control, either RF, Zigbee or DALI2 devices are usually chosen. So for CCT led strip lights you need a control device that can adjust the temperature of the light on CCT led strip and at the same time dim it.
How to choose the right CCT adjustable led strip light?
When choosing a CCT adjustable led strip light, it is important to consider a few things. The first thing to consider is the length of the strip. You should measure the size of the room and think about how long the strip light should be to fit in the room. For long installations that wrap around the room, I recommend that the supply comes from the corner and goes out in two directions in an L shape. This way the 20m long led strip becomes 2x 10m drive rand avoids light dimming.
Another important thing to consider is the power of the strip light. The power of a strip light affects how brightly it illuminates a room. Higher wattage means that the light strip is brighter, while lower wattage means that the light strip is dimmer. In indirect light, surfaces absorb some light. The darker the surfaces in a room, the more light they absorb. That is at least 14,4W CCT led strip
The third thing that is important to consider is the installation of the light strip. It’s usually easy to install the strip yourself, but you should make sure you know how to do it and have the necessary tools.
The fourth thing that is important to consider is the quality of the light strip. A good quality strip will last longer and provide better performance than a poor quality strip. Also consider the manufacturer of the strip and make sure you choose a reliable and professional manufacturer.
How to install CCT adjustable led strip light?
Installing a CCT adjustable led strip light is usually easy and hassle-free once you know what you are doing.
Before you start the installation, you should make sure that the length of the stripis correct and that you have all the necessary tools available. Also make sure that the strip works before starting the installation. Open the led strip reel and connect it to driver and check that all the points work and that the light control works. Replacement and return is much easier when it is not glued in place.
In addition to strip, you will need a led profile, which gives the CCT led strip protection from dust and smoothes the light beautifully. It also holds the LED strip in place.
Next, you need to attach the strip and its profile to the desired position. The profile can be fixed to a wall, ceiling or cabinet, for example. The profile can be fixed with its own brackets or with adhesive, depending on where the strip is installed.
Once the profile and the strip are in place, you need to connect it to driver and the mains. This can be done either directly to the plug or by an electrician, depending on where the strip is installed and what it is used for.
How to maintain the CCT adjustable led strip light in good condition?
A temperature-controlled LED strip light is usually easy to maintain. With careful use and maintenance, a strip can last a long time and provide good performance.
First of all, one of the most important ways to maintain a CCT adjustable LED strip light is to keep it clean. The strip should be cleaned regularly from dust and dirt to maintain its good performance. Cleaning can be done with a damp cloth or a vacuum cleaner, for example.
Secondly, the perfect way to maintain a CCT adjustable LED strip light is to avoid overloading it. Overloading can lead to overheating of the light stripand a deterioration in its performance. It is therefore important to use the strip light at the correct power setting and to avoid using it continuously and continuously. So let the led strip cool down between uses.
If you notice that your strip is faulty or its performance has deteriorated, you should contact the striplight manufacturer or a professional electrician. They can check the condition of the strip and make the necessary repairs.
Why choose a high quality CCT adjustable led strip light?
There are several indicators of the quality of a temperature-controlled LED strip light:
- Warranty: a good quality LED strip also has a good warranty, at least 3 years
- Colour rendering: the high quality CCT led strip has a top colour rendering of over 95, meaning all colours look as they are intended.
- Support: A good retailer will guide and suggest lighting solutions and help with the implementation of the CCT LED strip
- Installation help: if you encounter problems, can you get technical support immediately?
Lastly
The temperature adjustable LED strip light is a great way to add ambiance to your home. With the light strip, you can easily create different moods and adjust the colour of the light to your liking. In addition, LED lights are highly energy efficient, so you can use the strip light for longer while saving money on your electricity bill.
