What length of LED strip is right for my project?
The LED strip length is usually 5 meters/16.4 feet. The length is not really a big issue because LED strips can be cut and have to be connected. However, it is important to note that only strips of the same size can be connected together. If a 12V strip and a 24V strip work together, either the 12V strip will burn out or the 24V strip will not light up.
There are a variety of LED light strips that support short lengths, such as 0.5 m/1.64 ft, 1 m/3.28 ft, and 2 m/6.56 ft.
For extra long length LED projects, you can purchase multiple LED strips for installation or just choose extra long constant current LED strips, which will save a lot of wiring cost and make the installation easier.
