Bare board refers to the LED strip without any silicone/rubber protective layer. It’s essentially the flexible PCB with LEDs only — ideal if you’re installing the strip into a channel, profile, or hidden area where you don’t need water resistance or a finished look.
Main Features
Warm White Illumination
-
Produces a warm white light that’s cozy and pleasing for general ambient lighting.
-
Excellent for accent lighting behind furniture, under shelves, or around coves.
⚡ High-Quality SMD LEDs
-
Uses Surface Mounted Device (SMD) LED tech for a smooth, even light output.
-
Delivers consistent brightness along the full 5 m length.
Smart Home Compatibility
-
Works with the Aqara Home app for app-based control.
-
Supports voice control with major ecosystems like Apple HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Assistant when paired with an Aqara hub.
Adjustable Brightness
-
Fully dimmable via the app, letting you tailor brightness from soft accent light to practical task illumination.
Flexible & Custom Installation
-
Can be cut to length where marked to fit installations like cabinets, shelving, or behind displays.
-
Since it lacks a protective coating, it requires careful handling and isn’t splash-resistant like coated strips — better for indoor / dry locations.
Typical Specs (Bare Board)
-
Length: 5 meters (bare strip)
-
Input Voltage: 24 V DC
-
Power Consumption: ≈ 24 W per 2 m segment (scaled up over full length)
-
Color Temperature: Warm white – around 2700 K (may support range up to ~6000 K depending on version)
-
CRI (Color Rendering): ≥ 90 (good color accuracy)
-
Dimmability: Yes (1 %–100 %)
-
Lifespan: ~25,000 hours
-
Installation: Requires 24 V LED driver & controller (sold separately)
Pros
-
Very thin & flexible — great for hidden or flush installations.
-
Smart control via app and voice (with a hub).
-
High CRI for quality light rendering.
-
Customizable and cuttable for unique spaces.
Considerations
-
No protective coating — more delicate and not splash-proof.
-
Requires external LED driver & Aqara LED Strip driver/controller for smart operation.
-
Not standalone — must pair with a hub for smart features.
