5-in-1 RGB+CCT Analog LED Strip Guide: RGB, Warm White and Cool White in One Strip
5-in-1 RGB+CCT Analog LED Strip for Color and Functional White Lighting
This guide explains how to evaluate a 5-in-1 SMD5050 LED strip that combines RGB, warm white and cool white inside each LED package. It is designed for projects that need decorative color effects together with practical, adjustable white lighting from the same strip.
What Does 5-in-1 RGB+CCT Mean?
A 5-in-1 LED combines five lighting channels in one SMD5050 package: red, green, blue, warm white and cool white. Unlike a standard RGB strip, it includes two dedicated white channels. This allows the lighting system to produce decorative colors while also providing more natural warm, neutral or cool white illumination.
RGB Color Effects
Red, green and blue channels can be mixed to create decorative colors for events, leisure spaces and retail displays.
Dedicated White Channels
Warm white and cool white chips provide more practical white lighting than creating white from RGB channels alone.
Adjustable CCT
A compatible analog RGB+CCT controller can blend the two white channels to adjust the perceived color temperature.
Core Product Specifications
This product is an analog constant-voltage strip without an IC. The entire connected section changes color together; it is not individually addressable by pixel.
| Parameter | Product Specification | Project Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| Model | L-S-RGBWWW | Use this model reference when requesting samples or quotations. |
| Signal Type | Analog signal, no IC | All LEDs in the controlled circuit respond together; this is not an addressable pixel strip. |
| Light Source | SMD5050 RGB + warm white + cool white | Five color channels are integrated into each 5-in-1 LED package. |
| PCB Width | 12mm according to the specification table | The product title says 10mm. Confirm the final PCB width before production or aluminum-profile selection. |
| PCB Color | White or black | Choose according to the mounting surface and visibility requirements. |
| Voltage | DC12V / DC24V | Voltage affects cutting length, current and voltage-drop planning. |
| LED Density | 60 LEDs/m | Standard 5m reel contains approximately 300 LEDs. |
| Power | 24W/m | Confirm whether this is the maximum all-channel rating and size the power supply with reserve capacity. |
| Beam Angle | 120° | Suitable for broad decorative and indirect illumination. |
| Standard Length | 5m/reel | Long runs require voltage-drop calculations and suitable power-feed positions. |
| Cutting Unit | Every 3 LEDs at DC12V; every 6 LEDs at DC24V | Cut only at the marked copper pads. |
| Waterproof Options | IP30 / IP65 / IP67 | Select the protection method according to the installation environment. |
| Lifetime | 50,000 hours | Actual lifetime depends on heat, installation and operating conditions. |
| Working Temperature | -20℃ to 60℃ | Provide ventilation and heat dissipation for high-power installations. |

Why Analog Control May Be the Right Choice
An analog RGB+CCT strip is appropriate when a project needs the entire lighting zone to display the same color and white-light setting. It is often simpler to commission than a pixel system and does not require address mapping.
Simpler Control Architecture
A compatible multi-channel PWM controller manages RGB, warm-white and cool-white channels without pixel addressing.
Color and Functional White
One strip can provide decorative RGB scenes during events and practical white lighting during normal operation.
Suitable for Zoned Lighting
Separate strip circuits can be assigned to different zones when a project needs independent area control.
DC12V or DC24V: Which Version Should You Choose?
DC12V Version
The DC12V version can be cut every 3 LEDs, which provides shorter cutting increments for detailed layouts. It generally carries more current than a DC24V version at the same power, so cable sizing and voltage drop require attention.
DC24V Version
The DC24V version can be cut every 6 LEDs. It is often useful for longer linear runs because the current is lower at the same wattage, but power-feed planning is still required for a 24W/m load.
Waterproof Options
The product page lists three protection options. The correct version should be selected according to moisture, cleaning requirements, installation method and heat-dissipation conditions.
IP30
Non-waterproof version for dry indoor spaces, profiles, cabinets and protected architectural details.
IP65
Silicone tube or silicone-glue protection for locations requiring improved splash and moisture resistance.
IP67
Silicone tube plus glue protection for more demanding installations. End sealing and cable exits remain important.
PCB and Installation Details
The rear 3M adhesive supports initial positioning on clean, dry and flat surfaces. For commercial or high-temperature installations, mechanical support or an aluminum profile may still be required.

2 Oz and 3 Oz PCB Options
The page lists 2 Oz copper as the regular option and 3 Oz as an available customization. A heavier copper PCB can improve durability, heat transfer and voltage-drop performance in demanding installations.
Application Planning
One Strip for Ambience and White Lighting
The product page lists fitness studios, leisure spaces, residential projects, hospitality venues, events, exhibitions and retail displays as suitable applications.
RGB can be used for branded color scenes and entertainment ambience, while the dedicated warm-white and cool-white channels can support normal operation, display lighting or adjustable interior atmosphere.
Typical B2B Applications
Hospitality & Leisure
Hotels, restaurants, bars, lounges and fitness studios requiring both ambient color and usable white light.
Retail Displays
Display cabinets, shelving, promotional areas and brand environments with adjustable color scenes.
Events & Exhibitions
Exhibition stands, event decoration and temporary installations requiring flexible color and CCT control.
Information to Confirm Before Ordering
Need a 5-in-1 RGB+CCT Strip for Your Project?
Send your required voltage, project length, waterproof grade, PCB color, controller type, connector specification and installation environment. Like Light can help confirm the suitable analog RGB+CCT strip configuration before production.
FAQ
Is this an addressable LED strip?
No. The product page specifies no IC and analog signal. The connected strip section changes together and does not support individual pixel control.
What is the difference between RGB+CCT and RGBW?
RGBW adds one dedicated white channel. RGB+CCT adds two dedicated white channels: warm white and cool white. This allows adjustment between warmer and cooler white-light appearances.
Why does the title say 10mm while the specification says 12mm?
The product page contains this inconsistency. Buyers should confirm the final PCB width through a drawing or physical sample before selecting connectors and aluminum profiles.
How often can the strip be cut?
The DC12V version can be cut every 3 LEDs, while the DC24V version can be cut every 6 LEDs. Always cut at the marked copper pads.
Which controller is required?
Use a compatible analog RGB+CCT controller with separate RGB, warm-white and cool-white output channels. Confirm the common-positive arrangement, pin definition, current capacity and dimming method before installation.
How should the power supply be calculated?
Use the specified 24W/m maximum rating multiplied by the total connected length, then add suitable reserve capacity. Long runs may require multiple power-feed points to control voltage drop.
