Tips about led strip

Led strip is a lighting product of the LED series. It is characterized by cold light source, low heat generation, high efficiency and power saving.

LED strips are a great tool for indirect lighting. It is common in hotels, shopping malls and home lighting applications. Since the LED led strip is installed in a hidden way, the light source is not exposed, which can effectively reduce the discomfort caused by glare to the human eye. Therefore, led strips are widely used in various commercial spaces and home lighting. They are mainly used in indirect lighting of light troughs, large-area luminous ceilings or luminous walls, and lighting of showcases or walls.

Nowadays, many designers naturally use "led strips" in the space during the interior design process. Its appearance increases the layering of the indoor environment and enriches the light environment.
Let's first understand the material of the led strip.
The main materials of led strips are PVC, pvc+copper wire, silicone sleeve, rolled copper, aluminum and copper wire, etc..
But although the led strip is good, you must choose it carefully when choosing the led strip. Here are a few simple tips for choosing the led strip, so that you can become an expert in choosing the light strip immediately!
1. The light should be uniform

Uniform luminescence has two meanings:
① The brightness of the LED chip and the chip should be consistent, which is related to the quality of the LED chip.
Quick judgment method: Use your eyes to observe whether the led strip emits light evenly.
②The brightness of the head and tail of the led strip should be consistent, which is related to the voltage drop of the LED led strip.
The led strip needs to be driven by a power supply to emit light. When the voltage drop of the LED driving power supply is relatively large, the brightness of the head and tail of the LED light strip connected too long will be inconsistent.
Quick judgment method: connect the required length, light up the led strips, compare them side by side, and observe with your eyes.
2.Light color should be consistent
The consistency of light color is also a parameter to test whether the quality of the led chip is qualified.
Judgment method: Look directly at the led strip, or find a piece of white paper, and stick it vertically to the LED light-emitting surface, you can basically judge whether the light color of the light strip is consistent. Seeing with eyes is the most intuitive.
3. Choose the right color temperature
You should choose the appropriate color temperature for the led strip.
The lighting at home wants to be more comfortable, and the color temperature of the led strip should be within the range of 3000k-4000k.
This kind of light is relatively soft indoors, and the bluer and colder the light with a higher color temperature, the more it will attract mosquitoes.
This is because the wavelength of blue light is relatively short, and mosquitoes are very sensitive to short waves, so the stronger the blue light, the more attractive it is to mosquitoes.
4.CRI
The degree to which the light source presents the true color of the object is called the color rendering of the light source.
Ra represents the average value of the first 8 common color rendering indices, indicating the color rendering of the light source.
The closer the Ra value is to 100, the better the color rendering, and the better the light source can show the original color of the object.
The above is the introduction about led strip.
