There are different types of LED strips all around. There are different variations, colors, and most important of all, sizes. Here at SIRS-E we carry 2 main sizes of LED strip chips. We have the 5050 size LEDs and the 3528.

The numbers you hear are a shortcut to the actual size. i.e. 5050 means 5.0 mm by 5.0 mm, and the 3528 means 3.5mm by 2.8mm. The Lumen output varies according to LED chip size; although the beam angle is the same for both at 120 degrees, the 3528 and 5050 strips can be similar in brightness.

This is due to the amount of LEDs in within the 16.4 feet the strips come in. The Dual Density 3528 strips have 120 LEDs per meter as opposed to the 5050 Dual Density strips which have 60 LEDs per meter. The main benefit in the 3528 LED strips is that they are a little over 1/4 of an inch, as opposed to the 5050 strips which are about ½ inch.

The 5050 LED strips is still a bit brighter than the 3528 strip counterpart, but if you do not have the room for the 5050, the 3528 is perfect for the job.
