Hi All,
Fairly new to the world of LEDs. First off, I already have some hardware consisting of a 24v 10a DC power supply and a 12/24v 6a RGBW led driver (wireless controlled).
I'm looking for the brightest LED strips, preferably 24v since that's the highest voltage my driver is capable of. I've already made the mistake of purchasing some really cheap Chinese RGB+W (4 in 1 chip) led strip tape from Aliexpress but it appears to be utter rubbish and a few of the white LEDs have already burned out after only a couple of days use, despite me running it at exactly 24v etc. I'm looking to re-create sunlight as closely as possibly but it needs to change as the day progresses, cool in the morning, warm at mid day / evening and red after sunset. I already have all the programming done in the background as well as my wireless driver so was thinking of using a CCT adjustable LED strip that has both warm white & cool white + a separate red strip (as I couldn't find a strip with WW + CW + Red) the red doesn't have to be too bright by the way.
Reading around, it seems as though the 5630 SMDs are apparently brighter than the 5050's. Can anyone confirm this or if there is an even brighter SMD chip? Also, has anyone ever compared Samsung and Epistar chips, both 5630s?
I'm looking at the following (Samsung 5630s), but don't want to make the same mistake twice:

That same seller also has the Epistar 5630 chips on a strip, which is half the price of the Samsung strip, so I'm unsure if the extra money is worth it for brightness (lumens) ?
