4-Channel LED Strips & Modules (RGB-White, Multi-Color)

4-Channel LED Strips & Modules for RGBW, Tunable White, Dynasolis or Multicolour applications

Nichia 4-Channel LED Modules: High-Tech LED Lighting in White or Color

Our range of 4-channel LED modules and strips is designed to meet the needs of dynamic lighting applications, such as RGB-White or Multi-Color setups. These versatile LED modules utilize either Nichia 757 LEDs or the innovative Direct Mountable Chip LEDs, both of which feature cutting-edge technologies like Nichia Optisolis, Vitasolis, and H6 (Highest Efficacy CRI90 LEDs).

Nichia 757 LEDs are renowned as the industry-leading 3030 mid-power LED, offering the highest luminous efficacy of up to 222 lm/w and outstanding reliability, with a lifespan of up to 100,000 hours (L70). Each LED consumes just 0.2W at 65mA, producing up to 45 lumens of luminous flux. Nichia’s Direct Mountable Chip technology takes LED innovation a step further by making the LED package size equal to the light-emitting surface, resulting in the highest possible luminous flux density for compact luminaires.

RGB lighting

RGB lighting utilizes a combination of three primary colors—Red, Green, and Blue—to produce the full range of visible colors. While RGB lighting can also create white light, it often results in a narrow spectrum with a lower CRI. RGB LED strips or modules can be configured with individual Red, Green, and Blue LEDs placed closely together, or with 3-in-1 LEDs that incorporate all three colors in one diode.

Individual color LEDs offer higher luminous flux, making them suitable for brighter lighting needs, but they may not deliver pure combined colors when used in narrow fixtures, such as linear lights or slim LED panels. Meanwhile, 3-in-1 RGB LEDs provide more consistent color mixing, but with lower luminous flux, limiting their application to architectural or display lighting where precise color control is more important than brightness. Regardless of the system, RGB lighting requires a 3-channel LED module or strip, and our customizable LED modules allow you to configure the ideal RGB setup for your lighting needs.

RGB-White lighting

By incorporating a White LED alongside the RGB LEDs, RGB-White lighting can deliver white light with a high-quality spectrum, significantly improving the overall color rendering and brightness. This setup allows for a more natural and complete lighting solution, with the added flexibility of dynamic color control.

To achieve RGB-White lighting, a 4-channel LED module is required. Our customizable 4-channel LED modules let you select the perfect white LED for your project, with options ranging from 1800K to 7800K color temperatures. Paired with our Powercontroller light control system, these modules provide a high-quality, energy-efficient solution for RGB-White or Multi-Color lighting, offering up to 100,000 hours of operation with easy control and exceptional light quality.

Our 4-channel products include:

• SmartArray 4-channel compact LED module for RGB-White or Multi-Color light in spotlights.
• BackMatrix 4-channel 11.02x11.02" LED module for RGB-White or Multi-Color light in back-lighting applications.
• LumiFlex 4-channel LED strips for RGB-White lighting in cove or linear lighting systems.

Multi-Color Lighting

Special Multi-Color LED modules offer a unique configuration for applications that require a wider range of color tones and customization. These modules can be configured with various combinations, such as warm white for morning light, pure white and cold white for daytime lighting, and red for night lighting or emergency scenarios.

In horticulture lighting, enhanced LED modules can combine Nichia’s Hortisolis LEDs with Blue and Red LEDs, providing the specific light spectrum needed for optimal plant growth. These advanced horticultural lighting setups support photosynthesis and other essential plant processes in controlled environments, ensuring healthy and vigorous growth.

Our customizable 4-channel LED modules allow you the flexibility to design the ideal multi-color lighting system, tailored to the specific needs of your project, whether for architectural lighting, dynamic RGB-White lighting, or specialized applications like horticulture.

Ready-made 4-Channel LED modules, Made in Germany

For sample evaluation, prototypes or small-scale projects, our ready-made 4-channel LED modules or strips are available in several configurations.

PowerControler for multichannel control

With our new PowerControler range of control units, you are empowered to control 4-channel LED modules, including the color, white color temperature and intensity levels of light in all the required ways of Human Centric Lighting and beyond. Tunable White, RGBW and even single color LEDs can be controlled via dimmers, switches, your smartphone or the DALI protocol. 

The PowerControler can control constant voltage 12V or 24V LED strips by using only a dimmable power supply, or modules with constant current (in connection with the compatible LED driver as below).

Accessories for LED strips

The LumiFlex LED strips that are 8mm wide can be combined with profiles, to create luminaires with a minimalist design. Our profiles use high-quality materials and finishes, being aimed at the German market. The profiles protect the strips from dust, mechanical shocks and provide cooling for even longer life. 

The Nichia LED quality

The Japanese company Nichia, our recommended choice for the LEDs used on LED strips or modules, is the world leader in the LED market, with a market share of over 25% and the longest experience in the field. Nichia is the inventor of the white LED production technology, receiving the Nobel Prize for this invention.

The very long life of Nichia 757 LEDs (minimum 100,000 hours), exceptional luminous efficacy, superior light output and spectrum qualify our LED strips for long-term use even for the most demanding applications.

The difference between the quality and performance of the strip with Nichia LEDs and a low-cost LED strip, is evident from the first light, and in time the gap increases even more.

1. Longest-lasting light: Nichia LEDs last 90% longer

After 10,000 hours of operation, a Nichia 757 LED keeps 97% of the initial luminous flux, under high operating conditions, shining like in the beginning, while 90% is maintained even after 60.000 hours.

In most applications, this translates into an effective 100,000 hours lifetime or 10 years of continuous operation in a shopping center, decades of operation in a home.

In contrast, a low-cost LED loses up to 60% of the initial value in less than 10,000 hours, approximately one year of operation. It becomes too weak for the initial purpose in just 1,000-3,000 hours.

The evolution of light output for the Nichia 757 LEDs is demonstrated by 10,000 hours of testing, according to the LM-80 standard. Lifetime (light at 70%, 80% and 90%) is calculated using TM-21, both internationally recognized standards and used by all major manufacturers.

2. More light for less power: Nichia LEDs are 65% more energy efficient

The design and material quality influence the luminous efficacy and the LED light output. Nichia 757 LEDs have the highest luminous efficacy on the market, more than 230 lumens per watt, compared to a low-cost LED that has less than 80 lumens per watt.

The difference of more than 65% in luminous efficacy is outstanding when seen in practice. After a cove light retrofit from low-cost LED strips to Nichia LED strips, the illumination increased by three to five times for the same power consumption:

3. Uniform white light: Nichia 757 LEDs are color temperature sorted

By implementing the 3 Macadam Elipse sorting standard in our manufacturing, ensures that Nichia LED strips for a project will have the same white color temperature. Uniformity is also be maintained for future projects. 

In contrast, low-cost LED strips are not manufactured with the Macadam Elipse sorting standard, being delivered with many different color temperatures of white. Often, differences are even on the same reel. Moreover, after just a few thousand hours, the low-cost LEDs change their color temperature, resulting in a rainbow effect with yellow and blue hues.

After a cove-light retrofit from low-cost LED strips to Nichia LED strips, the importance of the 3 Macadam Elipse sorting standard is clear.

4. Natural light spectrum: Nichia 757 LEDs have CRI up to 99

Nichia LEDs, with CRI up to 99, reproduce colors as naturally as possible, closely matching the spectrum of sunlight. This capability ensures that colors are rendered accurately and vividly, enhancing the visual experience in any application

Low-cost LEDs only have a maximum CRI of 80, their light distorting color shades, especially warm colors, such as red, orange or brown.
