As per title I bought these from cutter ages ago. Now i know this is newbie of all newbie questions but these strips are unmarked and I want to know which is which lol. One is much "brighter" than the other. Help please which is which lol.

Didn't cutter print or mark them up? Could hazard a guess as to the brighter being 660, but you could confirm with makers.

Not marked - well actually identical markings lol.

You could go nerd, and google simple spectrometer. Might be one way to spend time during this virus thing.

The brighter strips are the 630's. I have both also, and 730's are very dim compared to the 630's. 730 is on the very edge of visible light, so that makes sense.

Not sure which board you have but the answers above would be correct, the dimmer diodes will be the 730nm

I should add that the strips were in marked and stickered bubble rap it was my removing them both for their packing at the same time and then having that moment where you just cant for the life of me remember which was which. Nice strips btw. They are the 12 led ones welight where you can select 660/730 or a mixture of both...infact im sure you have many configurations on those strips. If only you were in the UK or if only we get a free trade deal with Aus lol...those customs charges between our countries are heavy.

Thanks Diddy147, we designed them so it could be two channel for those that want to tune or a single channel for those that dont, best of both worlds
