Products for USB Sensing and Control
The 3615 is a 5 meter long, 8 mm wide, flexible LED strip with adhesive backing which can be cut in multiples of 3-LED sections. The strip contains 300 blue LEDs with a light beam of 120°.
The strip requires between 9 to 12 Volts DC and consumes 1.5A when running at 12V and 361mA when running at 9V.
Caution: Running the strip at more than 12V can damage the LEDs.
In order to turn this LED strip on and off, you can use a relay board. See the User Guide for examples of how to connect the power supply and the LED strip to the relay.
