LED Lighting

Many people have the problem with the strip light installation. Here, we'll show you how to install LED strip lights . Guidance on Indoor Installation It's very easy to install LED strip lights for indoor decoration. There is a type of LED strip at the back of which there's self-adhesive double-sided tapes. You can install the lights at any place you need by tearing off the double-sided tapes at the back and press it for fixation. What if there is a corner or the strip light is longer than needed?  It's a good question. Before we answer the question, you should be clear that every 3 LED of LED strip light is connected in series-parallel way. Thus you can cut the strip light at the place of every 3 LED. Guidance on Outdoor Installation As to outdoor installation, led strips with double-sided tape at back are not practical for use. If you use this type of strip light for outdoor application, the light will easily fall off for the adhesion would decrease due to

As we mentioned in " What's LED strip ", LED strip can be generally classified into two main types, flexible LED strips and LED light bar. Today, we're going to tell the difference between flexible LED strip and LED light bar . Flexible LED strip is made ​​of FPC circuit board assembled with SMD LED. The thickness of the strip light is only that of a coin, which make it save more space. The most common specifications include, 30cm with 18 LEDs or 24 pcs of LEDs, and 50cm with 15 LEDs, or 24 LEDs, or 30 LEDs and so on. Of course there are also strips in 60cm, or 80cm. Stip lights of different specifications are used for many different applications. People can cut or prolong flex LED strip for its own use; however, the luminescence would not be affected. The LED strips with  FPC(soft material), can be bent, folded , winded, or stretched in three-dimensional space without breaking. Flexible led strip is suitable for irregular use or cramped places. It's also

Today we're going to talk about LED strip. What's LED strip ? LED strip refers to the strip of LEDs assembled on FPC (flexible printed circuit board) or PCB hard board. The name comes from the product shape. It becomes more and more popular in decoration lighting industry because of long life, normally 80,000 to 100,000 hours, and eco-friendly. Strip lights is short for LED strip lights. Most buyers like to call strip lights instead of LED strip lights. The most common LED strips include flexible LED strips and LED light bars. Both flexible LED strips and LED light bars are widely used in home decoration, automotives, advertisement, lighting, marine, and other industries. Generally LED strip has the following features. 1. Hard. It can be curled like a walkie-talkie. 2. It can be cut and connected for a longer one. 3. The strip light bulbs are completely covered with a flexible plastic cover which is insulative, waterproof and safe. 4. It's weather-resis

Now we're going to talk about the selection of LED strip lights for home decoration. You should pay attention to the following notes on how to select LED strip lights. Why LED strips are always recommended for home decoration? Because: 1. LED strip light is soft. It can curl like power wire. 2. It can be cut and connected. 3. The bulb and the circuit is completely encapsulated in a flexible plastic cover, which ensures a good insulation, waterproof, safe condition in use. 4. LED strips are weather resistance(-20-50 ℃). 5. It's not easy to break. Besides, it has a long life, up to 80,000 ~ 100,000 hours. 6. It's easy to make graphics, text and other shapes. 7. It has rich colors. The color effects include white, green, yellow, red, orange, warm white, red and blue, purple, or mixed colors. 8. Energy-saving and eco-friendly. Cold light, No radiation, no mercury elements, no harmful substances. 9. Easy installation. Widely used in home decoration, like

The main electronic components of LED lights are white LED and supporting LED drivers . Here is a brief overview of development of LED and LED driver . White LED is the most common in LED lighting and illumination. It has been over 12 years from the use of white LED to 2014. There are many improvements and changes of white LED on materials, structure, and processes. The performance enjoys a significant progress. The types increases while the price is declining. 4 years ago, white LED luminous efficiency is about 40 ~ 601m / W; 2 years ago, it increased to 80 ~ 100lm / W, while this year it reaches 1201m / W; some also over 1201m / W. At the very beginning, a Φ5, 0.06W white LED is about 2 to 3 yuan per each; and today, you can buy one 1 ~ 3W high-power white LED with the same money before. 3 years ago, a 3W white LED of the top foreign brand sells 30 yuan; but this year, it's down to 10 yuan only. The increase of LED lights production capacity promotes the development

Thought we talked about 4 main benefits and advantage of LED lighting before, it's indeed a fact that residential LED lighting products are less used and popular in many families nowadays. How could it be? Today we're going to tell the state and market of residential led lighting products . The difficulties why led lights are less popular for home use than other traditional lights include the following points. 1. The retail price is too high. It's too expensive to afford, not only for rural residents but even the city dwellers. The current price of LED lights, compared with incandescent lamps or other energy-saving lights, is the highest. We find a price table(Table 1) online. Table 1 Incandescent Bulb    15 ~ 40W    2 to 3 RMB Energy Saving Lamp   5 ~ 10W     7 to 18 RMB LED Bulb             3 ~ 5W      40 to 80 RMB Note: As there are differences among different brands and also the different output power, the online price and specification listed here i

LED lighting is more popular than ever before. It enjoys a great market and applications for its competitive benefits and advantages. Energy Efficient About 20% of the electrical energy consumed by traditional lighting and conventional light bulbs is converted to light, while a 80% is lost and converted into other forms of energy, like heat. However, LED lighting is very energy efficient and consumes up to 90% less power than traditional lightnings. Besides, LED's give off light in a specific direction, they are more efficient in application than incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, which waste energy by emitting light in all directions. Longer Life The life of an incandescent bulb is about 750 to 2,000 hours, 8,000 to 10,000 hours for a compact fluorescent, and 20,000 to 30,000 hours for a linear fluorescent bulb. However, LED's service life reaches from 35,000 to 50,000 hours. LED light will last over 7 years under constant use before needing replacement. Long lif

LED lighting , the best energy efficient lighting with the latest technology, is a lamp or other light that uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as a source of illumination. LED stands for ‘Light Emitting Diode’, a semiconductor device that converts electricity into light. LEDs are electronic components that produce light by conversion of electrical energy directly to light by the movement of electrons within the material of the diode. They were invented in Russia in the 1920s and put into practical use in the United States in the 1960s by General Electric. In the late 1960s, Monsanto Corporation was the first to mass-produce LEDs, and Hewlett-Packard used them in its early calculators. LED lighting is different from the traditional lighting. These lighting products are super energy efficient, using approximately 85% less energy than that of halogen or incandescent lighting–meaning significant savings on your power bills. They also have a much longer lifespan than other types
