How to install the LED light strip in the lighting project? The main installation can be through the following 8 steps. The following specific LED light strip manufacturer lighting factory will analyze and introduce for you.
1. Power connection method
The general voltage of LED light strips is DC 12V, so a switching power supply is required. The size of the power supply is determined by the power and connection length of the LED light strip. If you don’t want each LED strip to be controlled by a power supply, you can buy a relatively large switching power supply as the total power supply, and then connect all the LED strip input power sources in parallel (if the wire size is not enough, you can extend it additionally), The unit is powered by the main switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be controlled centrally. The inconvenience is that the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip cannot be realized. The specific method can be measured by yourself.
2. There is a 'scissors' mark for each meter. It can only be cut when the mark is cut. Wrong cutting or cutting will result in a meter not bright! It is best to carefully look at the mark position before cutting and press the place where there is no connection in the middle Just cut it.
3. Pay attention to the connection distance of the LED strip:
Generally speaking, the longest connection distance of 3528 series LED light strips is 20 meters, and the longest connection distance of 5050 series LED light strips is 15 meters. If the connection distance is exceeded, the LED light strip will easily heat up, which will affect the service life of the LED light strip during use. Therefore, when installing, it must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements, and the LED lights must not be operated with overload.
4. Each light strip must be equipped with a special plug (plug with transformer), and the transparent plastic cover must be removed when connecting, and then the test light must be connected and then covered. Do not connect directly with a cover, it is easy to short-circuit!
5. Outdoor installation:
The installation of outdoor lighting projects is subject to wind and rain. If 3M glue is used to fix it, the 3M glue will decrease over time and cause the LED strip to fall off. Therefore, outdoor installation often adopts card slot fixing. Where cutting and connection are required, the method is the same as indoor installation, except that it needs to be equipped with waterproof glue to consolidate the waterproof effect of the connection point.
6. Indoor installation:
When LED light strips are used for interior decoration, they do not have to withstand wind and rain, so the installation is very simple. Take the LED light strips produced by Yimei Electronics as an example. Each LED light strip has a self-adhesive 3M double-sided tape attached to the back. When installing, you can directly remove the sticker on the surface of the 3M double-sided tape, and then fix the light bar to the desired location. Just press the place where it is installed by hand. As for some places where the corners are needed or are long, what should I do? Very simple, the LED strip is a circuit structure composed of 3 LEDs in series and parallel, and each 3 LEDs can be cut and used separately.
7. Controller connection mode:
LED marquee strips and RGB full-color light strips need to use controllers to achieve variable effects, and the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of a simple controller is 10 to 15 meters, and the remote control The control distance of the controller is 15 to 20 meters, and the longest distance can be controlled up to 30 meters. If the connection distance of the LED light strip is long, and the controller cannot control that long light strip, then a power amplifier is needed for tapping.
8.
When installing the light strip, it is generally placed in the light trough and just straightened, or it can be fixed with a string or thin iron wire. If external or vertical installation is required, clips and tail plugs need to be purchased separately. The original clip is fully transparent, and this store does not give it away~ If it is installed outdoors, it is best to put waterproof glass glue on the tail plug and plug after installation, so that the waterproof performance is better.
When installing the LED light strip, it must be installed in a simple and correct way. If it is excessively twisted or used incorrectly, it will easily cause damage to the light strip and reduce the use time of the light strip. It is not conducive to the maintenance of the light strip. Consumers must keep the above points in mind when installing the light strip.
