Description
The YD42 CCT 2-in-1 LED strip is a high-performance lighting solution that integrates dual-color white LEDs into each 2835 SMD chip. With the ability to transition between warm white (2500K) and cool white (7000K), this strip is ideal for applications requiring flexible white tone adjustment with consistent brightness and visual harmony.
Dual White in a Single Chip
Unlike traditional CCT strips with alternating warm and cool chips, the YD42 uses 2-in-1 2835 LEDs, each combining both color temperatures. This ensures:
-
No color shadowing or segmentation
-
Perfectly uniform emission
-
Seamless blending of white tones
The 2-in-1 architecture also reduces the strip’s required width and enhances the beam uniformity—perfect for shallow installations or profile diffusers.

At only 8mm wide, the strip fits into narrow aluminum channels, coves, or surface-mounted profiles. It pairs with:
-
Zigbee, DALI, RF, or Bluetooth CCT controllers
-
Smart home hubs with dual-channel outputs
-
24V constant voltage power supplies
Each 50mm section can be precisely cut, allowing for custom lengths in cabinets, displays, or workstations.
Efficiency & Quality
YD42 is built with high-efficiency 2835 SMDs, offering consistent lumen output and low thermal resistance. Its SDCM <3 rating ensures smooth chromatic consistency across long runs.
Combined with double-layer flexible PCB and 25/25T copper foil, this LED strip resists voltage drop and ensures thermal stability over time.
Certifications & Safety
The YD42 strip meets the requirements of professional projects and lighting designers. Certifications include:
-
CE
-
RoHS compliant
-
Eco-friendly production process
Its IP20 rating is suitable for dry indoor environments. For moisture-sensitive areas, consider a silicone-coated version or additional enclosure.
