Introduction to flexible LED strip lights

The flexible LED strip light, also known as the flexible neon tube, is the latest and hottest LED breakthrough product that has emerged to make up for the shortcomings of glass neon tubes and optical fibers, thus completely replacing them.

Compared to glass neon tube, flexible LED strip light has the advantages of low voltage and low power consumption, high brightness, long life and durability and energy saving, soft and safe.

This passage is going to talk about the following introductions of LED strip light:

1) What is a flexible LED strip light?

2) Features and advantages of flexible LED strip lights

3) What are the precautions for LED strip installation?

4) The life span of LED strip light

1) What is a flexible LED strip light?

A flexible LED strip light is using FPC to do assembly circuit board, assembled with SMD LED, so that the thickness of the product is only 0.1CM thickness, does not occupy space; universal specifications are 30cm long 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs and 50cm long 15 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 30 LEDs, etc. There are also 60cm, 80cm, etc., different users have different specifications. And can be cut at will, can also be arbitrarily extended without affecting the light. The FPC material is soft, can be arbitrarily bent, folded, wound, and can be moved and expanded in three dimensions without breaking. It is suitable for irregular places and small spaces, and because it can be arbitrarily bent and wound, it is suitable for combining various patterns in advertising decoration.

2) Features and advantages of flexible LED strip lights

Flexible LED strip light is soft and can be curled at will.

Flexible LED strip light can be cut and extended connection.

Flexible LED strip light electric bulb and the pathway is thoroughly wrapped in flexible plastic, insulation, waterproof function is good, the use of insurance.

Flexible LED strip light weather resistance is strong.

Flexible LED strip light is not easy to crack, the use of long life.

Flexible LED strip light is easy to create graphics, text and other shapes; flexible LED strip light has been widely used in buildings, bridges, pathways, gardens, courtyards, floors, lie panels, furniture, buses, lakes, underwater, posters, pink signs, signs, etc. On the decoration and lighting.

3) What are the precautions for LED strip installation?

LED strip installation precautions are some of the following below.

LED strip wiring method LED strip general voltage of DC 12V, so you need to use a switching power supply, the size of the power supply according to the power and connection length of the LED strip to determine.

SMD LED strip wiring is to distinguish between positive and negative, we generally provide welded power plugs, plug directly into the strip power supply we provide on top, and then all the LED strip input power all in parallel, unified by the total switching power supply.

LED strip controller connection method should be noted, LED running strip and RGB illusion strip need to use the controller to achieve the changing effect.

4) The life span of LED strip light

LED strip light has a long lifespan, generally the normal life span is 80 to 100,000 hours. Because LED is a constant current component, so different manufacturers produce different LED strip constant current effects, of course, the life is therefore different.

LED strip of copper wire or flexible circuit board toughness is not good will lead to LED strip in the bending break, will also affect the life of the LED strip.

Power supply factors, LED strip is generally a constant voltage power supply (DC switching power supply) power supply, if the output of the power supply is unstable, or no surge protection, it will output unstable voltage and current when the voltage fluctuations in the external network, resulting in LED strip work in non-standard voltage, will also affect its service life.
