Types of strips edit

Can we add info on the types of LED strips [RGBW RGBWW W/CW RGBCCT], currently RGB is covered, but it should cover all the varities of "strip" lighting. For Example, you have RGB, RGBW (RGB with a white LED), RGBWW(White White, or some say Warm White). You also have Multiwhite, or ones that cover several white catagories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.247.30 (talk) 08:13, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Perhaps also add about other specialized strips such as UV (cleaning) and Grow light strips.Reply

We don't generally list companies unless they have their own Wikipedia articles, or have a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group, per WP:LISTCOMPANY. A company's own Facebook page is not an independent reliable source, and should not be listed here. - BilCat (talk) 19:25, 4 April 2019 (UTC)Reply

Specs edit

Are these strips 1mm wide? An inch? 2 feet? Are dimensions standardized, or does each manufacturer use their own? Do they all come in a fixed length? How long? Is there a maximum length, or can a strip be 50 or 100 miles long?

Can they be joined together? Cut to shorter lengths?

How thick are they? A few mils? 1/4"? 2"? Is there a standard, or is every set different?

Do they get hot in operation? Can they be used underwater (like in a swimming pool)? Are they ever run on batteries? Do they emit RF interference?

Someone needs to get ahold of some industry spec-sheets, and add this information to the "Design" section. 70.89.176.249 (talk) 23:55, 24 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

But Wikipedia is not a parts catalog. If I need a new o-ring for my faucet, I don't expect to find it's part number in Wikipedia. If you need design information, you don't come to an encyclopedia. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:04, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
