How should light strips be selected?

In modern home life, many people are not satisfied with the single main light decoration style, and will install some light strips to increase the comfort and warmth of the room. Light strips are easy to install and can be flexibly used in various spaces to create home environments with different styles. So how should light strips be selected? Let's take a look at the light strip manufacturer today.

Light color of light strips

The color of light emitted by light strips is naturally the first thing to consider.

The light color of light strips is mainly determined by the decoration style and color tone of the home. 3000K warm light and 4000K neutral light are commonly used in homes. The light color is comfortable and the light effect is warm.

Brightness of light strips

The brightness of light strips depends on two points:

The more LED beads in the same unit, the higher the brightness. In order to avoid uneven light emission due to uneven surface of light strips, which is what we often call "granular light" and "wave light", the denser the beads, the more uniform the light emission.

Wattage of lamp beads

If the number of LED lamp beads in a unit is the same, you can also judge according to the wattage. The higher wattage is brighter.

Emit light evenly

The brightness of the lamp beads should be consistent, which is related to the quality of the LED lamp beads. Usually we quickly judge by eyes! Observe the brightness of the light strip at night and turn on the light strip to observe the brightness of the light strip, and the light effect of the changing light rhythm!

The brightness of the light strip should be consistent at the beginning and end, which is related to the voltage drop of the LED light strip. The LED light strip needs to be driven by power to emit light. This situation will occur if the current carrying capacity of the light strip wire is not enough. In actual use, it is recommended that the entire light strip does not exceed 50m.

The length of the light strip

The light strip has a number of units, and it needs to be purchased according to the integer multiples of the number of units. Most light strips have 0.5m and 1m units. What if the required number of meters is not a multiple of the number of units? Buy a light strip that is more cuttable, such as every 5.5cm, to better control the length of the light strip.

Chip of light strip

LED is a device that works with stable current. Therefore, a major culprit for burning out the lamp beads in conventional high-voltage light strips is the lack of a constant current control module, which makes the LED work under valley-type fluctuating voltage. The instability of the mains will further increase the burden on the LED, which will lead to conventional high-voltage light strips being prone to dead lights and other faults. Therefore, a good light strip must have a good chip to stabilize the current.
