Custom LumiBar-50 LED Strip Order Process explained & Technical details:

Build Your Own LumiBar-50 LED Strip Plug & Play LED Modules, Made in Germany, with Nichia 757 LED series, 500mm in length and 5mm to 20mm in width, with rigid PCB.

Step 1: Order Quantity (pcs)

How many modules do you need.  While there is no MOQ, we recommend at least 50 meters. The ordered quantity will be delivered in strips of 50 cm, that you can then cut to the desired length, based on the cutting unit. 

The cutting unit is based on the number of LEDs per meter and the choice of voltage, and can range from 3mm to 50mm (see image for details).

Step 2: LED Strip Width (mm). 

The LumiBar-50 LED strip can be ordered in standard widths, from 5mm to 20mm. For different dimensions to those on offer, please contact us. 

Step 3: LED Module PCB Material & Quality

The LumiBar-50 LED Strip will be made on FR4 PCB.

There are 3 quality levels:

• Economy PCB FR4: 1 PCB layer, 1mm PCB Material thickness, 1 oz PCB Copper thickness
• Best Value PCB FR4: 2 PCB layers, 1.6mm PCB Material thickness, 1 oz PCB Copper thickness
• Premium PCB FR4: 2 PCB layers, 1.6mm PCB Material thickness, 1.6 oz PCB Copper thickness

PCB has the following standard characteristics: White solder mask, black silk screen. HAL lead free surface finishing. Minimum trace spacing 0.2mm. Min hole size: 0.3mm (1.5mm aluminum). Minimum component spacing: 0.5mm. Minimum border spacing: 0.5mm

Step 4: LED Strip Forward Voltage (V)

To power a LED Strip and external power supply is required, that will ensure it receives the recommended current and voltage.  Without it, the current in the LEDs will rise exponentially with the applied voltage, as a small change in voltage leads to a large change in current, until the maximum current is reached and the module burns up. 

The external power supply can be a 12/24/48VDC constant voltage power supply.

You can choose the LED strip to be built with a current regulation mode so it can function with constant voltage transformers for 12VDC, 24VDC or 48VDC. For this purpose, the LEDs will be placed in series, with the current regulation component after each group:

• 12VDC (3 LEDs in series + current regulation component)
• 24VDC (7 LEDs in series + current regulation component)
• 48VDC (15 LEDs in series + current regulation component)

 For any of the options above, the number of LEDs per Meter (at step 5) has to be divisible by the number of LEDs in series. For example, for 24VDC you can have 70 LEDs per meter but not with 60 LEDs. If you require 60 LEDs per meter, than the LED strip has to be at 12V or 48V.

For a project with large quantities of LED modules/strip connected in long rows, a constant voltage 24VDC circuit design is the best solution. 

Step 5: How Many LEDs per strip:

The LED Quantity per Strip (pcs) determines the total luminous flux and application.  Below some guidelines for Nichia 4000K CRI80 LEDs:  

We recommend that the total number of LEDs that will be used to build your custom led strip to be as close as possible to a multiple of 5000. 

 Step 6: LED Color temperature

Different color temperatures create different visual effects and are appropriate for different environments. Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K) on a scale from 'warm' to 'cool': The 'warmer' the light, the lower the number of Kelvin. The 'cooler' the light, the higher the number of Kelvin. You can read more about the recommended color temperature for a project in our blog.

Step 7: LED Type

The LumiBar-50 LED strip can be manufactured with the LEDs of your choice, including the latest generation Nichia 757 LED series, the industry leading 3030 Mid-power LEDs. The 757 LED series have industry's highest luminous efficacy (up to 222 lm/w) and reliability (up to 100.000h L70 lifetime). Each LED has a typical consumption of 0.2W at 65mA, for a luminous flux up to 45 lm.

Special Nichia 757 LED types include:

• Optisolis 757 & CRI99: LEDs with a spectrum close to natural light, CRI99, R9 minimum 85
• H6 757 Series & CRI90: LEDs that achieve a color quality better than traditional LEDs (Ra≥90, R9≥50, R15≥85) while maintaining an efficacy better than Ra≥80 LEDs.
• Vitasolis 757 Series & CRI80: Vitasolis LEDs emit a natural white color with a high content of blue-green energy proven to stimulate awakening and supports a vibrant life.
• HPS 757 Series & CRI70: LED that genuinely reproduces the emission color of High Pressure Sodium lamps (HPS), which is most often used for road lighting and outdoor lighting around the world.
• Rs060 Hortisolis Nichia: the Hortisolis™ Series of White LEDs from Nichia that are to be the most suitable LEDs for plant growth (found at 5000K color temperature selection).
• Special Color Redention: Light that brings out the best in the products such as meat (Rs020 found at 5000K) and fresh food (Rs030)

Not all color temperatures are available for every LED type or CRI. 

Other options include Samsung, Seoul Semiconductor or Cree 2835 LEDs. 

The LED strip datasheet will specify the Nichia/Samsung/Cree/Seoul Semiconductor LED part number.

Step 8: Current Regulation Mode

The Current Regulation component for the series of LEDs can be a simple resistor for Best Value Mode or a linear regulator for Premium Mode. The latter is recommended to achieve the maximum lifetime of the LEDs module.

Step 13: Scope of Delivery

The order process and online payment can be made for the full Order Quantity (meters) or for drawing, design or samples. Based on your choice, the scope of delivery and the payment will be:

• Order Quantity (pcs): the full quantity entered at step 1, including drawing, design and samples.
• Design and Samples Only: Drawing, Design and 5 samples of maximum 50 cm each, for the LED strip with the specifications from the order.
• Drawing Only: The drawing of the LED strips, including:

- Dimensional drawing, with position of the LEDs, solder pads, current regulation components, printed information on the PCB.

- Summary of the main characteristics (technical data of the cutting unit), including:  dimensions, operation mode, voltage, current, power, color temperature, luminous flux, efficiency, CRI, LED type.

- PCB information: base material, layers, copper.

Step 14: Advanced Options

If you have the design of your LED module already made in detail or have special requirements, then we recommend filling the relevant details in the ADVANCED OPTIONS section. Only fill in the fields relevant for you. You can also provide this information via email, in the Design validation stage.

• Your part number: We can print your own part number that you fill, on the PCB of the LED strip, maximum length 10 characters. It will be printed in addition to the information required by European Union law: manufacturer, manufacturer part number, relevant technical information (such as: voltage, current, color temperature, luminous flux, TC), CE, ROSH, Recycling logo. 
• Desired Power Consumption per Meter (W/m): the power consumption per meter for the LED strip will be considered during the design process. We will inform you if this value is too low or too high because of other technical factors. 
• LED Module max. Row Length (m): Many projects require multiple LED modules/strips to be powered together in a line. This information can help to properly design the PCB of the LED module.

The advanced options should not change the characteristics of the LED module and/or the order value.

OPTIONAL: Upload Files (after order is made):
