There are many types of LED strips, including rigid strips and flexible strips. Flexible strips can be bent and wound arbitrarily due to the use of FPC material. They are the first choice for irregular places or small spaces; hard strips and flexible strips are also Divided into monochromatic light strip and colorful or RGB LED lightings strip, monochromatic LED light strip does not need dimming drive. Colorful/LED RGB light bars need to be driven by dimming to control different light effects.

LED light strips have a wide range of applications: mainly used for dark grooves, contour lighting, KTV, home furnishing, automobiles, advertising, shopping mall counters, lighting, ships, bar decoration, etc. Non-waterproof light strips can only be used indoors and in dry places, while waterproof RGB LED strips can be used outdoors or in damp environments, because its waterproof level reaches IP65-68, but the price of the two is not much different.

The most commonly used specifications for low-voltage led light strips are 12V and 24V. The 12V RGB LED strips is a 3-string multi-channel parallel structure.

How to connect led strip lights to power supply:

Monochrome light bar and LED power connection method: For example, if you have a 20m LED light bar that consumes 5 watts per meter, the light bar needs a total of 100W; if you don’t want each LED light bar to be controlled by a power supply, you can Buy a relatively large switching power supply as the total power supply, and then connect all the LED lights with input power in parallel (if the wire size is not enough, it can be extended), and the power is supplied by the main switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be controlled centrally. The inconvenience is that the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip cannot be realized. Which method is used can be measured by yourself. If the light bar is used outdoors, you need to choose a waterproof light bar and a waterproof power supply. If it is used indoors, you can use an indoor switching power supply to reduce costs. It should be noted that the power supply must be placed in a well-ventilated area, so that it can be extended The service life of the power supply.

The colorful/RGB light bar is connected to the controller and the LED power supply: the colorful/RGB flexible light bar is connected to the RGB LED controller. Note that the 4 lines of the light bar should correspond to the 4 lines of the controller; the DC end of the LED drive The connector is docked with the controller, and the 220V plug of the LED strip light driver is connected to AC power. The buttons on the RGB LED panel (RGB remote controller) can make the light bar change color normally.

LED light bar is convenient to use and easy to install, has a long service life, (generally the normal life is 80 to 100,000 hours), is very energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and is very popular in the decoration and lighting industry.
