How to correctly use LED light strip numbers
LED light strip number
LED strip light is a common lighting decoration material. It has the advantages of high brightness, good energy efficiency, and long life. It is widely used in home decoration, commercial display and other fields. When using LED light strips, we need to know the number of the LED light strip and how to deal with some common problems. This article will introduce the number, power, wiring method, etc. of LED light strips in detail to help readers better use LED light strips.
LED strip number
The number of the LED light strip refers to the model identification of the LED light strip, which usually consists of a series of numbers and letters. These numbers represent the power, color temperature, brightness and other parameters of the LED light strip. For example, the serial number of an LED light strip is SMD 5050 60LED/m, where "SMD" represents the packaging type of the LED lamp bead, "5050" represents the size of the LED lamp bead of 5.0mm×5.0mm, and "60LED/m" represents There are 60 LED lamp beads per meter of LED light strip
Understanding the number of LED light strips can help us choose the right product to meet our lighting needs. Different LED light strip numbers correspond to different power, brightness, color temperature and other characteristics. Therefore, when purchasing LED light strips, we should choose the appropriate model based on actual needs.
LED light strip power
The power of the LED light strip refers to the total power per meter of the LED light strip, usually expressed in the unit "W" (watt). The power of LED light strips is related to factors such as the number, model, and operating voltage of LED lamp beads. Generally speaking, the higher the power of the LED light strip, the brighter it will be, but it will also consume more power.
The power of an LED light strip can be known by checking the product manual or the information marked on the light strip. For example, if the power of an LED light strip is 12W/m, then during use, each meter of LED light strip will consume 12 watts of power.
LED light strip wiring method
There are two common ways of wiring LED light strips: series and parallel.
Series wiring refers to connecting the positive and negative poles of the LED strips together in sequence to form a loop. This wiring method is suitable for long-length LED light strips and can keep the brightness of the entire light strip uniform. However, when connecting in series, you need to pay attention to the fact that the total voltage does not exceed the rated voltage of the LED strip, otherwise it will cause problems such as uneven brightness and burnout of the strip.
Parallel wiring refers to connecting the positive and negative poles of the LED light strips together to form multiple parallel circuits. This wiring method is suitable for situations where the length of the LED light strip is short, and can provide greater current to the LED lamp beads to ensure stable brightness. When connecting in parallel, it is necessary to pay attention that the total current does not exceed the rated current of the LED light strip, otherwise it will cause problems such as excessive heating and burnout of the light strip.
When wiring LED light strips, we should choose the appropriate wiring method according to the actual situation, and pay attention to follow the installation requirements in the product manual.
Precautions for using LED light strips
1. Before installing the LED light strip, check whether the power supply voltage matches the rated voltage of the LED light strip to avoid damage to the light strip due to voltage mismatch.
2. When disassembling the LED light strip, the power supply should be cut off first to avoid the risk of electric shock.
3. Avoid overloading the LED light strip for a long time to avoid excessive heating, burnout and other problems.
4. Clean the surface of the LED strip regularly to maintain good heat dissipation.
5. During use, avoid strong mechanical force on the LED strip to avoid damaging the lamp beads.
