Colour changing led strip lights ( RGB \ RGBW )
Instyle’s RGB LED strips are a thin and flexible PCB lighting source that can be cut to the exact lengths your project requires. With either 30 or 60 high-brightness LEDs per metre, our colour changing LED strips (sometimes known as multicolour LED tape, RGBW LED tape or colour changing LED strip lights) give surfaces a smooth and eye-catching effect when illuminated – making them ideal for a vast range of applications.
For the best colour mixing and control, we also offer 4-colour RGBW LED strips, which have an extra dedicated white-light diode in every LED:
For projects that require full colour-change functionality for feature lights, our 10-watt RGBW LED strip lights are the perfect choice.
InStyle’s 20W RGBW LED strips are our brightest colour changing LED strip.
InStyle’s RGB LED strip light products are all commercial grade, using premium components and branded diodes – and if you’re working on a bathroom or an exterior project, we also offer a range of waterproof (IP67 certified) LED strips.
Do you supply waterproof LED strip lights?
Yes we do. All of our RGB and RGBW LED strip lights are available in three versions. When placing your order, you can choose from:
- a standard non waterproof type,
- an IP65 coated type, or
- an IP67 waterproof type.
The waterproof options allow you to fit your colour-changing RGB / RGBW LED strips in places where resistance to water is required (for example, the kitchen, bathrooms etc). They can also be fitted externally, making them ideal for signage.
Our IP65 LED strips are wrapped in specialised heatshrink coating, which has may advantages over traditional resin coverings. It does not discolour over time, cold doesn’t make it become brittle, and it’s very easy to cut and solder.
For our IP67 RGB and RGBW LED strip lights, we use the same heatshrink coating but we fully glue seal the ends as well. IP67 rating means your strip lights are fully waterproof, but please be aware they should not be fitted in any location where they will be permanently submerged (for example in a pond).
What lengths are your LED light strips supplied in?
RGB / RGBW LED strip lights are supplied as standard in the following choice of reels:
10W 12v RGBW LED strip lights (commercial grade): 5m reel
20W 24v RGBW LED strip lights (commercial grade): 5m reel
You can request your RGB and RGBW LED strips to be pre-cut to the nearest cut-points and supplied in specific lengths when you place your order. LED strip lights can even be supplied with pre-soldered starter-leads and linking cables, to go around corners or objects etc.
You can also purchase both RGBW and RGB LED strips on standard reels (5m / 10m), and then cut your strip lights to the lengths you require yourself by using solderless connectors, with no need for soldering.
What light colours can RGB / RGBW LED strips produce?
The answer to this question depends on the type of LED controller that you are using.
In general terms, your RGB strip has the ability to produce any colour by simply mixing the three primary colours – red, green and blue.
RGBW LED strips offer even great flexibility, with the option to also add dedicated white light to the mix; this opens up an even bigger palette of colour tints and pastel shades.
If you want to set your colour-changing LEDs to produce white light, you can do this with either RGB or RGBW strip lights.
RGBW LEDs are manufactured with this requirement in mind, so they offer the best and easiest solution: each RGBW LED has a fourth colour chip (choose either warm white or pure white), which you can set to produce white light without the need to do any colour mixing.
RGB LED strip lights can produce a perfect pure white by mixing their three colours equally. If you prefer warmer white shades, though, you’ll probably find RGBW LED strips to be a better alternative.
