LEDs are designated by four-digit codes such as 3528, 5050, 5060, and 2835. The first two digits refer to the width of the chip, while the last two digits refer to its length, in tenths of a millimeter. So, a 3528 LED, for example, has a width of 3.5 mm, and a length of 2.8 mm.

The abbreviation “SMD” preceding these numbers refers to a 'Surface Mounted Device'.

Tips before buying:

 If you wish to compare LED strip lighting between different suppliers, if the strips are using the same chips, look at how many LEDs are on the strip and the lumen´s output to determine brightness.  Pay attention to how many LEDs there are per foot or meter. 

 When searching for bright LED strip lights, make sure you compare same technical and quality parameters, not all LED strips are made in the same way and with the same data specs.
