High-Power LED Strip: Heat Dissipation & Aluminum Channel Guide
At up to 14.4W/m, 16440 is a high-power SMD LED strip. Above roughly 14.4W/m the tape can no longer shed its own heat through the FPC alone — an aluminum channel is part of the luminaire, not an accessory.
Why high-wattage strips need a heat sink
- Aluminum conducts heat roughly 30× faster than the plastics, MDF or gypsum a strip is usually stuck to, so a bare high-power run traps heat under the tape.
- LED lifetime (LM-80 / TM-21) is driven by solder-point temperature Tc. Keeping Tc inside the datasheet limit — DENO strips are rated Tc ≤ 75°C — is what preserves the rated L70 lifetime and colour stability.
- Never run 14.4W/m or more coiled on the reel, inside a sealed plastic diffuser, or directly on wood, wallpaper or foam.
Sizing rule: FPC width vs channel inner width
- Channel inner width ≥ FPC width + 2mm. This strip is 5mm wide, so it needs at least 7mm of inner width.
- The 2mm clearance absorbs extrusion tolerance and lets the tape be seated or replaced without scraping the side walls or the wiring.
- A frosted or opal PC cover then diffuses the higher lumen output into an even, dot-free line instead of visible hot spots.

Recommended LED Channels
Mount this LED strip in a DENO LED aluminum profile for heat dissipation, physical protection and diffused, dot-free output.
This strip is 5mm wide, so it needs a channel with at least 7mm inner width (5mm + 2mm clearance). Every profile below meets that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the key specifications of 16440?
16440: 1515, 420LEDs/m, 12V, 5mm PCB, 3oz copper FPCB, cuttable 6LEDs/14.285mm, IP20/IP65/IP67/IP68, CRI Ra≥80. Full photometric data, wiring diagrams and test reports are available in the downloads section of this page.
What makes the construction of this micro cut LED strip different?
It is built as a micro cut LED strip on 3oz copper FPCB with a cutting unit of 6LEDs/14.285mm and an LED pitch of 2.381mm, so it holds its electrical and mechanical performance where standard strips fail.
Can DENO customise this micro cut LED strip for a project?
Yes. DENO manufactures the Micro-Cut SMD Strips series as an OEM and ODM supplier: reel length, colour temperature, CRI grade, PCB width, waterproofing and private labelling can all be specified. Request a quote for lead time and project pricing.
How short can you cut a micro-cut LED strip?
Cut points come as close as 12.5 mm, against 50 to 100 mm on a conventional cuttable LED strip. Short segments matter in cabinets, stair nosings, signage letters and display cases where a standard cut interval would leave a dark gap at the end of the run.
How narrow can a thin LED strip be?
DENO builds down to a 3 mm wide FPCB. A 3 mm LED strip fits aluminium channels, cabinet reveals, shelf edges and slim architectural slots where an 8 or 10 mm board cannot be hidden, while still carrying 2 oz copper for stable long runs.
