What is the difference between low voltage constant current and constant voltage LED light strips?

Constant current LED light strips use linear IC constant current. The operating voltage of the IC is 12-24V. As long as the operating voltage is not lower than the rated voltage, the current of each lamp bead remains consistent, so it becomes a constant current LED light. bring.

Low-voltage constant current LED light strips can achieve ultra-long connections, up to 20-50 meters long. The light strips are powered by a single end without voltage drop, and the brightness is consistent at the beginning and end of the light strips.

Constant current light strips, the more commonly used ones are conventional color temperature 2700k-6500k, CCT adjustable color temperature light strips, RGB and RGBW color constant current light strips are also available. The color temperature is complete and the categories are rich, which solves the problem of length limitation of low-voltage light strips.

Constant voltage LED light strip means that the voltage of the light strip is constant. The voltage is generally DC12V/24V. The normal length of the light strip is 5 meters. It is powered by a single end. The brightness of the light strip is consistent at the beginning and end. If it exceeds this length, the light strip will appear. The obvious voltage drop causes the brightness of the light strip to be inconsistent.

Currently, the most commonly used ones are constant voltage light strips, including conventional LED light strips, silicone neon light strips, flexible wall washers, waterproof light strips, RGB light strips, modular linear lights and other linear lighting products, which use low voltage constant voltage. Covers a wide range of usage scenarios.

In addition, low-voltage lamp strips are also safe voltage, and there is no safety hazard when exposed to human body. Compared with high-voltage lamp strips, low-voltage lamp strips have smaller light attenuation and longer service life.
