Precautions and installation methods for home improvement LED light strips

First, the color

From the color, the led light has a variety of light colors, white, warm white (light yellow) yellow blue and so on. In theory, led can call up a lot of colors. At present, there are several mainstream colors. Because there are many factors affecting light color, there will be some deviation in the color temperature produced by different batches of light strips. For example, warm white is divided into color temperature of 3000K and 4000K, white color close to sunlight, cool white, etc., and slight color difference. Home decoration and daily use are basically warm white mostly because warm white reflects a warm environment, bright white, blue fashion. Light color can be selected according to your own preferences and style of home decoration.

Second, the model

1. There are many types of light strips on the market: flat three lines, two second lines, flat four lines, led lights, and so on. Because the led light strip has energy saving, environmental protection, long life, no pollution, and economical benefits. Other advantages have occupied the main position of home improvement. The old-fashioned flat three-line light strip is not only low in brightness but also has a large amount of electricity, which has basically been eliminated. Therefore, when choosing a light strip, use a led light strip (the type of light bead is a patch). The models used for LED strips are 3528 and 5050. (3528 refers to the chip size inside the lamp strip, which is rectangular length 3.2 width 2.8 mm) 5050 lamp strip means that the strip length of the strip is 5 mm. (Because the 5050 chip is much larger than the 3528 chip, the brightness of the 5050 is also about 70% higher than the 3528 brightness.)

2, led lamp belt can be divided according to the number of lamp beads, 60 beads 72 beads 68 beads 90 beads, etc., commonly used specifications, in the daily purchase can be based on the size of the installation space, the use of the corresponding specifications. If the household is decorated with wine cabinets, counter decoration, 3528-60 beads can be selected when the brightness is not high, and the room of 8-15-square meters can be used for the room of 8-15-68 pearls, or 5050-60 Beads classic 15 square meters or more rooms are recommended to use 5050-upgrade (72 beads) to maintain the room's moderate brightness and light coordination, in the picture below is the 3528 led light strip.

The figure below shows the 5050 led lamp with reference picture. (This is the gold version, so the guides are yellow, the classic and upgraded guides are white.)

Three: matters needing attention.

1. The components of the led light strip, there are lamp beads - guides - wires - wrap - resistance - wires - accessories.

Pay attention to the choice of regular big brands when purchasing, so that the quality can be well protected (the width of the light guide plate should be more than 6 mm when purchasing, and the guide below 6 mm will result in the light strip due to insufficient width of the circuit board) A lot of heat is generated, there is a serious safety hazard, so pay attention to the width of the guide strip when buying.)

2, when the lamp strip is cut, pay attention to it. There is a special scissors mouth. The lamp strip is generally one meter and one loop. The whole rice area usually has 1 cm blank. The special scissors mouth needs to be cut from the scissors mouth. .

3, the light belt is equipped with accessories, the accessories generally have cross-flow plugs (that is, the transformer light strips must be used). Line cards (plastic clips for fixing the light strips) Tail plugs (protective lamps with tail plastic sleeves) When you want to ask the business, otherwise you will not be able to miss the accessories.
