High Efficiency & Superior Color Accuracy (CRI 95+)

One of the standout features of this model is its Color Rendering Index (CRI) of ≥ 95. In the world of LED lighting, CRI determines how accurately a light source reveals the true colors of objects. Most standard LED strips in the market hover around CRI 70 or 80, which can make colors look dull or "off." With CRI 95+, the IMITOS strip ensures that your furniture, artwork, and interior finishes look exactly as they were intended. Combined with a staggering 180 lumens per watt, you get maximum brightness with significantly lower energy consumption compared to traditional strips.
 

24V System: Longer Runs, Less Heat

Unlike cheaper 12V alternatives that suffer from "voltage drop" (where the end of the strip is dimmer than the start), the IMITOS uses a 24V DC system. This allows for consistent brightness across the entire 10-meter length. It is the ideal choice for large-scale installations in Malaysian bungalows or office lobbies where long, seamless light lines are essential. Furthermore, the 24V architecture runs more efficiently with less heat buildup, extending the lifespan of the SMD 2835 chips.

Built for the Malaysian Climate: IP65 Waterproofing
Malaysia’s humidity and dust can be tough on electronics. The IMITOS SMD 2835-48P comes with an IP65 rating, providing a protective silicone coating that shields the LEDs from dust, moisture, and water splashes. This makes it versatile enough for:

Precision Engineering: SMD 2835 & 30° Beam Angle
Equipped with 48 high-power SMD 2835 LEDs per meter, the light distribution is dense and smooth. The unique 30° beam angle offers more directed, punchy lighting compared to the standard 120° wash, making it excellent for highlighting specific textures on feature walls or providing task lighting over kitchen counters. The 10mm plate width ensures it fits perfectly into most standard aluminum profiles available in the Malaysian market.

Installation & Versatility
The strip is available in three essential color temperatures:

Q1: Why choose 24V over 12V LED Strips for my home in Malaysia?
A: 24V LED strips like the IMITOS 18W/M are superior for longer runs (up to 10M) because they suffer less from voltage drop, ensuring uniform brightness from start to finish.

Q2: What does CRI ≥ 95 mean for my interior design? 
A: A CRI of 95+ means the light reveals colors very accurately, similar to natural sunlight. This is crucial for makeup vanities, art galleries, and premium kitchen designs.

Q3: Is the IMITOS IP65 LED strip suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, IP65 means it is dust-tight and protected against water jets. It is perfect for balconies and eaves, though it should not be submerged in water.

Q4: How many lumens does the IMITOS 18W/M strip produce?
A: It produces an impressive 180lm/W. At 18W per meter, that’s roughly 3,240 lumens per meter, making it one of the brightest strips on the market.

Q5: Can I cut the IMITOS 10M LED strip to a shorter length?
A: Yes, the strip can be cut at designated intervals (usually every 6-12 LEDs) to fit your specific cabinet or cove dimensions perfectly.

Q6: Does this LED strip require a driver or transformer?
A: Yes, this is a 24V DC strip. You will need a 24V LED driver (Power Supply) with enough wattage to support the total length used.

Q7: What is the benefit of the SMD 2835 chip used in IMITOS?
A: SMD 2835 chips are highly efficient and have better heat dissipation compared to older 5050 chips, leading to a longer lifespan and more consistent light.

Q8: Is 3000K color temperature good for a living room?
A: Yes, 3000K (Warm White) creates a cozy, inviting, and relaxing atmosphere, which is the most popular choice for Malaysian residential living areas.

Q9: Will this LED strip fit into standard aluminum profiles?
A: With a 10mm plate width, this strip is compatible with most standard U-shape or V-shape aluminum channels available in Malaysia.

Q10: Does it come with an adhesive backing?
A: Most IMITOS strips feature a high-quality 3M adhesive backing for easy peel-and-stick installation on smooth, clean surfaces.
