Types of strips

Can we add info on the types of LED strips [RGBW RGBWW W/CW RGBCCT], currently RGB is covered, but it should cover all the varities of "strip" lighting. For Example, you have RGB, RGBW (RGB with a white LED), RGBWW(White White, or some say Warm White). You also have Multiwhite, or ones that cover several white catagories. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.247.30 (talk) 08:13, 8 March 2019 (UTC) Perhaps also add about other specialized strips such as UV (cleaning) and Grow light strips.[reply]

Companies

Yes, please help withLED_strip_light#Companies--Wyn.junior (talk) 19:09, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

We don't generally list companies unless they have their own Wikipedia articles, or have a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group, per WP:LISTCOMPANY. A company's own Facebook page is not an independent reliable source, and should not be listed here. - BilCat (talk) 19:25, 4 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Specs

Are these strips 1mm wide? An inch? 2 feet? Are dimensions standardized, or does each manufacturer use their own? Do they all come in a fixed length? How long? Is there a maximum length, or can a strip be 50 or 100 miles long?

Can they be joined together? Cut to shorter lengths?

How thick are they? A few mils? 1/4"? 2"? Is there a standard, or is every set different?

Do they get hot in operation? Can they be used underwater (like in a swimming pool)? Are they ever run on batteries? Do they emit RF interference?

Someone needs to get ahold of some industry spec-sheets, and add this information to the "Design" section. 70.89.176.249 (talk) 23:55, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But Wikipedia is not a parts catalog. If I need a new o-ring for my faucet, I don't expect to find it's part number in Wikipedia. If you need design information, you don't come to an encyclopedia. --Wtshymanski (talk) 18:04, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
