Here is a breakdown of the technical specifications and what they mean for your project:
Technical Specifications
Voltage: Optimized for 9V DC. While most standard LED strips are 12V or 24V, these are specifically wired (usually in groups of 2 or 3 LEDs with a resistor) to run at full brightness from a standard 9V PP3 battery.
LED Type (SMD 3528):These are "Single-Chip" LEDs, meaning they contain one light-emitting diodes in one housing ( 3.5mm x 2.8 ).
Protection Rating (IP65): The "6" means it is dust-tight, and the "5" means it is protected against water jets. In practical terms, the strip is coated in a clear silicone or epoxy resin, making it splash-proof and safe for damp environments, but not for submersion.
Dimensions:10cm length, typically about 8mm wide.
Adhesive: Comes with pre-applied double-sided tape for easy mounting.
Power & Battery Life
Using a standard 9V alkaline battery, you can expect the following:
Current Draw: A 10cm strip with 6 SMD 3528 LEDs typically draws between 40mA and 60mA .
Estimated Runtime:A standard alkaline 9V battery has a capacity of roughly 500mAh.
Note: The brightness will gradually dim as the battery voltage drops below 9V.
