Component Documentation: 24V Warm White 5050 SMD LED Strip Flexible 5M/Roll NO Waterproof
The 24V Warm White 5050 SMD LED Strip is a flexible, 5-meter LED strip that can be cut to desired lengths and is perfect for various indoor applications. This strip features 5050 SMD LEDs, providing a warm white color temperature and high brightness. It operates at 24V and is suitable for use in ambient lighting, decorative lighting, and other applications where a warm, cozy atmosphere is desired.
Voltage: 24V
Color Temperature: Warm White (2800K-3000K)
LED Type: 5050 SMD
Length: 5 meters
Cuttable: Yes, every 3 LEDs (50mm)
Waterproof: No
Brightness: 240-280 lumens per meter

The LED strip has a standard 2-pin connection, with one pin for the positive (+) connection and one pin for the negative (-) connection.
Example 1: Basic Connection and Powering
In this example, we'll connect the LED strip to a 24V power supply and demonstrate how to power it.

24V power supply
Jumper wires
1. Connect the positive (+) pin of the LED strip to the positive (+) terminal of the 24V power supply using a jumper wire.
2. Connect the negative (-) pin of the LED strip to the negative (-) terminal of the 24V power supply using a jumper wire.
Code Example: N/A (No code required for basic connection and powering)
Example 2: Dimming the LED Strip using an Arduino
In this example, we'll use an Arduino board to dim the LED strip using a potentiometer.

Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
Potentiometer (10k)
Breadboard
Jumper wires
1. Connect the positive (+) pin of the LED strip to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply using a jumper wire.
2. Connect the negative (-) pin of the LED strip to a digital pin (e.g., pin 9) on the Arduino board using a jumper wire.
3. Connect the potentiometer to an analog input pin (e.g., pin A0) on the Arduino board.
4. Connect the breadboard power rails to the power supply.
Code Example:
```c++
const int ledPin = 9; // Digital pin for LED strip
const int potPin = A0; // Analog pin for potentiometer
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
int potValue = analogRead(potPin);
int brightness = map(potValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
analogWrite(ledPin, brightness);
delay(10);
}
```
Example 3: Using the LED Strip with a Raspberry Pi
In this example, we'll connect the LED strip to a Raspberry Pi and control it using Python.

Raspberry Pi (e.g., Raspberry Pi 4)
Power supply
Jumper wires
1. Connect the positive (+) pin of the LED strip to the positive (+) terminal of the power supply using a jumper wire.
2. Connect the negative (-) pin of the LED strip to a GPIO pin (e.g., pin 17) on the Raspberry Pi using a jumper wire.
Code Example:
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(17, GPIO.OUT)
try:
while True:
# Fade in
for i in range(0, 101):
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(0.01)
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.01)
# Fade out
for i in range(0, 101):
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.LOW)
time.sleep(0.01)
GPIO.output(17, GPIO.HIGH)
time.sleep(0.01)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
GPIO.cleanup()
```
