Because of its flexibility, LED light strips can be curled arbitrarily; long service life, energy saving and environmental protection; easy to manufacture graphics, text and other shapes; therefore, they are widely used in hotels, shopping malls, homes, cabinets, display racks, etc., mainly for lighting , Indirect lighting, dark slot lighting, contouring, decorative lighting, etc., what are the essential elements for high-quality led light strips?
1. The light should be uniform
Even luminescence has two meanings:
The brightness between the lamp beads and the lamp beads must be consistent, which is related to the quality of the LED lamp beads.
The brightness of the light strips should be consistent at the beginning and the end, which is related to the voltage drop of the LED light strips.
The LED light strip needs to be driven by a power supply to emit light, and the brightness of the end and the end of the LED light strip that is connected for too long will be inconsistent.
2. Choose the right color temperature
Color temperature refers to heating a standard black body. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the color starts from deep red-light red-orange-white-
Blue, gradually changing, when the color of a light source and the black body are the same, we call the absolute temperature of the black body at that time the color temperature of the light source.
The color temperature is below 3000K, and the light color is reddish to give a warm feeling; there is a stable atmosphere and a warm feeling. Commonly known as warm color temperature. The color temperature is 3000--6000K
In the middle, people have no obvious visual psychological effects in this hue, which is called 'neutral' color temperature; the color temperature exceeds 6000K, and the light color is blue, giving people a cool feeling. It is generally called cold color temperature.
Generally speaking, there are more LED strips with 3000K and 4000K color temperature in general space. But for some spaces, low color temperature light belts are necessary, such as high-end hotels and villa clubs.
3. The color index must be greater than 80
LED
The color rendering problem of light strips is not very important when the product is used in indirect lighting lamp troughs, but when used in large-area luminous ceilings as basic lighting or used in showcases as display lighting , Color rendering index
Ra>80 is a requirement that a professional LED strip must meet. This is also a requirement of the national standard GB50034-2013.

4. The light band should be continuous
The continuity of the light band is an important consideration for the effect of lighting design, which requires the entire light band to ensure no broken areas and shadows.
Convenient connection and installation
When used in a light trough, the shape, size, and space of the light trough are different. How to realize quick connection and installation is very important. Choosing a suitable connector and installation card can save a lot of time and energy. The light strip can be connected quickly and the installation is flexible and convenient, and it is also easy to repair and quickly replace failed parts.
Therefore, it is necessary to choose a light strip product that can be directly snap-mounted with a connector, and the installation steps and methods of this type of product are relatively simple.
5. The light effect should be as high as possible
Speaking of LED, energy saving is of course its due. For LED
As far as light strips are concerned, the importance of light effects has a lot to do with its application scenarios. For example, when applied to indirect lighting of lamp troughs, the requirements for light efficiency are relatively not applied to large-area luminous ceilings or When the showcase is high.
As a professional LED strip, under the premise of color rendering index Ra>80, the luminous efficiency should be at least >80 lm/W. If it can be done 160
lm/W, that's really great.
Under the premise that the electrical specifications allow and the voltage drop of the driving power supply is controllable, the longer the distance that the LED strip can be connected, at least means that it will save some power.
The requirements for the maximum connection length will be different for each project site, but it is a necessary step to know the maximum allowable connection length of the product in advance.
