How to wire the colorful strip light
1. Wiring method of series connection
The series connection method of the fantasy light strip is to connect multiple light strips together in sequence to form a long strip. The specific operation method is as follows:
a. First, connect the positive and negative poles of multiple light strips respectively. You can use the connectors on the light strip or use the connectors you purchased.
b. After the positive and negative poles are connected, use the tail lead of the light strip to connect the power supply.
c. The power supply needs to pay attention to the current size cannot exceed the rated current of the light strip, otherwise it will cause the light strip to burn out.
2. Wiring method of parallel connection
The parallel connection method of the fantasy light strip is to connect multiple light strips to the power supply separately, and ground them at the same time to form multiple independent circuits. The specific operation method is as follows:
a. Connect the positive and negative poles of multiple light strips to the positive and negative poles of the power supply according to their specifications to ensure balanced load.
b. The circuit of the parallel connection method is more complicated. It is necessary to pay attention to whether the power supply can withstand all the loads, otherwise it will cause a short circuit.
c. The light strips in parallel need to pay attention to setting resistors to protect the god disk and the light strips.
3. Methods of controlling current
It is very necessary to control the current of the fantasy light strip, because too much current will burn the light strip, and too little current will cause the light strip to be insufficiently illuminated. There are two main control methods:
a. Use a voltage-stabilized power supply to control the precise quantitative output of voltage and current, avoid short circuit and overcurrent, and ensure the normal service life of the light strip.
b. Use group connection, that is, divide the light strip into several parts, and control the current of each part separately, so as to reduce the pressure on a single circuit to ensure the stability of the current.
4. Pay attention to safety issues
During the wiring process of the fantasy light strip, you need to pay attention to the following safety issues:
a. Using a voltage-stabilized power supply can avoid risks such as excessive current and short circuit, but please do not rely on it too much, and you must also have a certain maintenance and inspection of the power supply.
b. When using the light strip, avoid contact with water and humid environment to avoid safety hazards.
c. Do not change the specifications of the light strip at will. There are obvious differences in the power consumption of light strips of different specifications.
d. Before formal wiring, you must first check whether the output voltage and current of the power supply are appropriate, and whether there is a short circuit between the sections of the light strip.
