What is the difference between a LED 24 V strip and a 12 V strip?

Where are they used?

Voltage:

LED light voltage is determined by itself, fixed strip is fixed voltage, 12V,24V,220V these are in order to meet the requirements of the voltage and design different circuits;220V is a common voltage, electricity can be used, generally with leakage protection switch to ensure safety.And 24V and 12V are safe voltage, harmless to human body, But you need to buy the power supply of the strip belt.

Heat:

LED 12V strip with low power, low requirements for heat dissipation area, 24V high power, high temperature, high requirements for heat dissipation area.

Brightness:

The 12V light strip is less bright than the 24V light strip.

Cutting point:

The 24V strip is a series of 6 LEDs, and the cutting point is 10CM apart.

The 24V strip is a series of 3 LEDs, and the cutting point is 5cm apart.

Comparatively, 12V allows for higher accuracy.

Service life:

The service life of 12V and 24V light strips is the same, provided that these light strips are produced by the same manufacturer, because the design process and components used by each manufacturer are different.

Application:

12V light bar: can be used for home, hotel, or with groove wall lighting, light belt brightness is slightly lower, but the color temperature, and color selection range is wider than office lighting.

24V light strip: shopping malls, shelves, showcases, buildings, paths and other lighting, the light strip is required to be bright, high display, uniform illumination, etc.

Can the LED 12V strip be connected to 24V?

The answer is: no!

Because they are not one voltage class, the maximum voltage rating a 12V strip can withstand is 12V, and a 24V strip can withstand 24V.

High voltage will burn out the LED strip, low voltage LED strip will not light.

I hope the above LED strip light knowledge can help you ~
