    I warmly welcome,

    Please, honorable forum members, for advice.
    Some time ago, about 2 years ago, I set up a 5050 IP65 LED smd in the kitchen under the cabinets. Of course, in appropriate housings with a opal plastic shade. Currently, half of the diodes no longer work (the pair made coils) and the shade looks as if the diodes are stuck. I am preparing to replace diodes and lampshades with a housing (currently it is a metal alloy). Could I ask you for advice about which diodes and housings to use so that I do not have such an effect again but that it was bright in the kitchen?

    It's not a buddy pair. It was the temperature that got your tape.
    In one kitchen, under the cabinets, there is glistening LED strip, without silicone, without profile, literally without anything, and the fifth year shines like this.
    I recommend the 5050 version without a silicone glued into an aluminum profile and that's enough. You already have the right adapter.

    But now I have an aluminum profile and 5050.
    You mean not to cover with a plastic cover? Because I want this light to be diffused :)

    Shade yes, but led without silicone.

    Well, that's what I have now and some LEDs do not work and the shade itself is burnt from the inside: /

    in the evening I will take a photo and show how it looks like in my case. Do you have aluminum or plastic profile? I have aluminum but I had to glue the insulation under the leds because there was a short circuit on the profile. From below, the copper strips were in contact with the profile.

    Hello colleagues,

    I don't want to create a new topic, that's why I will ask here. Which to use under the cabinet. From what I see 5050 quite popular. However, I am looking for something that will have the following functions:
    - Cutting every 5cm or at least 80/100 / 60cm
    - Direct connection to 230V installation, without power supply
    - bright enough not to be only decorative, but to replace the main kitchen light (e.g. for reading, washing, preparing dinner) - I heard that 5630 are quite strong equivalent to 100W per meter (1500lm), right? - But won't such light under the cabinet be too strong?
    - great as if they had a built-in controller - one turning on full power, the other turning on decorative mode (but that's an option)

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around selecting suitable 5050 IP65 LED SMDs and housings for kitchen under-cabinet lighting. The original poster seeks advice after experiencing failures with their current setup, where half of the diodes have stopped working and the plastic shade has degraded. Forum members suggest using 5050 LEDs without silicone, housed in aluminum profiles for better heat dissipation. There is a debate about the necessity of a plastic cover for light diffusion, with some advocating for direct exposure to enhance brightness. Additionally, another user inquires about LED options that can connect directly to 230V, emphasizing the need for sufficient brightness to replace main kitchen lighting while considering the potential intensity of 5630 LEDs.
