Led strip light is make with led chips, FPCB/ALUMINUM PCB/FR-4/CME-3, resistance, capacitance, IC, silicon glue, silicon tube, PVC material , 3M tape, wires.
Because of the appearance like a tape, so names it led strip light /led tape/led ribbon/led light bar. Led Tape
It have 3M tape backside can be stuck to almost all surfaces. And some have clips, can fix on the surface where not suitable for 3M tape.
There many Leds are using in led strip light. Lightstec now have SMD3014, SMD2835, SMD3020, SMD3528, SMD5050, SMD5630, SMD5050RGB and SMD2216.
Led strip light normally classified into two categories by PCB material. One is flexible led strip light.
The other one is rigid led strip light. And led strip light can classified into two categories by voltage.
One is high voltage led strip light, the voltage is AC110V and AC220V. The other one is low voltage, DC3V/5V/6V/9V/12V/15V/24V/36V/48V/60V.
It is according to different request.
HIGHT VOLTAGE LED STRIP LIGHT
LOW VOLTAGE LED STRIP LIGHT
Flexible led strip light is produce by flexible pcb and led.
The thickness is only 1.5mm. Normally the led type have SMD3014, 3528, 3030, 5050, 2835, 5630, 5730, 335 etc.
It have 30led/m, 60led/m, 72led/m, 96led/m, 120led/m , 240led/m, 360led/m.
According to design request. Because of the flexible, it can easy to make any shape, and it can cut in any size.
Rigid led strip light is produce by aluminum pcb or FR4 pcb. It is easy to install and better heat dissipation(aluminum base).
But is can not easy to bend. Aluminum base pcb is widely use in high power lamps.
When we select the led strip light, We need to think about what kind of led?
How many led per meter?
How many wattage per meter?
SMD5050 RGB LED STRIP LIGHT
For same brightness, same price
SMD2835 LED STRIP LIGHT is a very good cost performance.
SMD 5050 LED STRIP LIGHT have 3 chips in one led.
This quality will stable, if one chips broken, the other 2chips can light .
More led in one meter, more brightness. And the wattage will increase.
You can ask lightstec for date sheet.
Many choose. According to your request, you can ask lightstec for detail.
Led strip light is used in furniture, cars, advertising, lighting, board, airplane, train, KTV, hotel, shopping mall etc.
First , connect the strip light positive and negative anodes to the power driver right anodes.
Then connect the power driver to AC110V OR AC220V.
If wrong connect, the led strip light will not lighting.
2. AC110V/220V led strip light
Connect the strip light to power cord, then connect the power cord to AC110V/220V.
When install led strip light indoor, because of not raining , not shining, so it will easy install.
Lightstec low voltage strip light have 3M tape.
You only need to tear the tape and stick the led strip light where you want to install.
Because of raining and sunshine, the strip light need waterproof.
Normally the outside cover a silicon tube to protect the strip light.
And when install, use clips to fix it strong.
When you need dimming or color change, you need a controller.
You can use dimmer, rgb remove controller, rgbw controller, DMX512 controller, dali controller, 0/1-10v controller.
Normally, the DC12V led strip light, we suggest use 5meter roll. And DC24V led strip light, can use 10meter.
Power supplier in one end. 110v/220v led strip light can use 50meter by one power card .
If use the strip light longer than this length, the brightness in the end will drop compare with the beginning .
Now lightstec have new technology for longer use led strip light.
We use IC to control the current.
This technology can improve the strip light to15-20meter use driver by one end.
Of course this price will higher than the normal led strip light.
There are many factory are making led strip light. They use the material is from low level to high level. We can check from several ways.
1. Check in test lab . We can check the chips, pcb material, brightness, color temperature, CRI. That is a professional way .
2. Check the led strip light surface.
We can check the soldering point. If the surface not clear, the led are not soldering in the right place.
The surface is dirty. That is not a good led strip light. Good led strip light, surface is clear, and the led are soldering in the right place.
Normally, the led strip light PCB have 2 kinds technology .
Rolled copper, place polygon plane. And they also have single side pcb design and double side design.
And the thickness have 1oz, 1.5oz, 2oz.
Normally the good led strip light use Rolled copper +double side pcb design +2OZ.
The is good for heat dissipation and less voltage drop.
We can check the package if the reel is recycle used or new. The recycle used may broken and dirty.
Check the label if the detail enough, led type, led qty in one meter, voltage, wattage, ip rate.
The led chips is easy broken because of static electricity.
So when we produce the led strip light and install the led strip light, we have better wear the anti-ESD ring before handing .
When you repair the led strip light, you need to use a AVO meter to check if the led strip light is in short circuit.
Short circuit is easy damage the whole strip light .
1.Check the surface if the led is broken when not protect in transportation
2.Led not soldering very well or the pcb not soldering well.
3.The led is go wrong because of the anti-static.
4.The pcb quality is not good, easy broken.
Led Light 5.The led is broker because of bending.
