What are the application scenario characteristics and suggestions of LED light strips?

LED light strips are composed of many LED lamp beads and are mainly divided into soft light strips and hard light strips. LED soft light strips can be cut or bent at will, and the light will not be disturbed; LED hard light strips are easier to fix, but are not suitable for irregular areas because they are not easy to bend. LED light strips usually come in two types: single-color and multi-color. Single-color LED light strips have only one color, while multi-color LED light strips can change colors and switch modes through the controller. Currently it is often used in auxiliary lighting and lighting without main light. As the popularity rate increases, it has gradually become a major trend. Light strips mainly play the role of decoration and setting off the atmosphere, and can increase the spatial level and texture of the overall environment. Next, I will introduce you some basic knowledge about LED light strips. 1. Types of light strips: low-voltage light strips, frameless aluminum trough light strips, high-voltage light strips, T5 lamp tubes. 1.1 Low voltage light strip Low-voltage light strips are very flexible and can be curled at will. They can be cut and connected as needed and made into different shapes; they are energy-saving and environmentally friendly, have low heat generation, long service life, changeable light colors, flexible use, and small size. Light strips with PVC sleeves are more waterproof and moisture-proof and can be used in bathrooms and other spaces. The common input voltage specifications of low-voltage light strips are DC 12V and 24V. The thickness of the substrate itself is small. In order to ensure normal use, the length of low-voltage light strips is generally about 5-10m. If it is too long, the current passing ability will be poor. Low-voltage light strips require a transformer, and the location of the transformer must be considered during installation. Although low-voltage light strips are slightly more expensive, they are used in more scenarios. Needless to say, it is safer to install low-voltage light strips in places such as cabinets, shelves, and floors. 1.2. Frameless aluminum trough light strip Compared with traditional low-voltage light strips, frameless aluminum trough light strips have aluminum grooves and a PVC diffuser lampshade with higher light transmittance. The light is uniform and soft, without graininess and jaggedness, and has better heat dissipation performance. During installation, after slotting and fixing the gypsum board, apply putty and paint to cover it. 1.3. High voltage light strip High-voltage light strips can be directly connected to 220V high-voltage electricity without a transformer, so the length of high-voltage light strips can be longer, from tens to a hundred meters, with higher power and cheaper price, but the light is more glaring and the risk of electric shock is higher. , now it is basically not used for home or hotel lighting decoration. 1.4. T5 lamp The T5 lamp is a tube-type light strip that emits uniform light, has high brightness, is easy to install and maintain, but has a fixed length, poor space adaptability, high power and high energy consumption, and is not suitable for use as an ambient light. It is often used in kitchens, restaurants and other spaces that require high brightness, and should be used with caution in bedrooms. 2. Application scenarios of light strips 2.1. Application in entertainment venues Basically, the most colorful lighting effects are presented in entertainment venues such as stages, bars, and KTVs. LED light strips, because they emit light in various colors and are colorful, are the best LED light sources for various entertainment venues to create atmosphere and shape lighting effects. best choice. LED light strips create different lighting effects and scenes according to different atmospheres. In these places, lighting is the best way to bring people in. 2.2. Home decoration application Modern home decoration styles increasingly emphasize the combination of light effects and furniture. LED lighting tools have basically replaced traditional bulb lighting, and LED lamps are used in many places to create lighting effects to set off the atmosphere of the entire house layout. The ceiling of the living room and the TV background wall are the areas where light strips are used the most. The effect of using light strips on the ceiling in conjunction with the main light is a perfect visual experience. Moreover, using high-brightness light strips can also be used as an independent lighting source, which not only saves energy, but also It can also provide a gentle lighting effect for periods when strong light is not used. Using light strips on the TV background wall can also diffuse the TV light source when watching TV without turning on the main light, thus protecting eyesight. Places where LED light strips are used in home decoration include bookcases, cabinets, wine cabinets, indoor stairs, etc. 2.3. Hotel decorative lighting application A hotel is a place for guests to rest. The lighting needs of the entire hotel vary depending on the area and function. Generally speaking, it is divided into lobby lighting, corridor lighting, guest room lighting, conference room lighting, task lighting, decorative lighting, etc. As a decorative lighting application, LED light strips are mainly used to enrich the lighting levels of the hotel environment and enhance the design sense of the space. The rational use of LED light strips in hotels can create a comfortable, attractive and functional stay environment for guests. 2.4. Lighting application for commercial and supermarket decoration and display props In the application of light strips in shopping malls, they are mainly used in combination with various downlights, spotlights and other lighting fixtures. The most common applications are scenes such as shopping mall ceiling trough outlines and cabinet display racks. The application of LED light strips in the scene shaping outlined in the ceiling and dark grooves of the shopping mall can make the space rich in layered beauty and enhance the shopping environment for consumers. The application of various cabinet display racks can highlight products and promote consumers' desire to purchase according to the needs of each scene. 2.5. Outdoor engineering lighting applications With the improvement of living standards, people now attach great importance to the quality of night life, especially when they go for walks in parks, playgrounds and other places at night. Correspondingly, there is a demand for outdoor lighting and lighting effects. Building lighting is an indispensable part of urban lighting, and LED light strips are the most important LED products for building lighting. Just install street lights for lighting, and the lighting effects must be produced with LED light strips. Use light strips on street buildings, trees, lawns, sculptures, and walkways to create different effects. 2.6. Special effects production application Many places need to use lights to create special effects to attract people, such as movie theaters, time tunnels, shopping mall exteriors, etc. Using the controller to program the desired horse racing effect can make people feel immersed in the scene. 3. Suggestions for using light strips to create a sense of space atmosphere 3.1. Design of ceiling + light strip Replace the main light with a recessed lamp, adopt a light strip design with its own hanging effect, and combine it with downlights and spotlights to enrich the top surface and emphasize a soft, bright, full, and emotional atmosphere. This is also the main way of designing without main light which is more popular now. If the light strip is designed at the junction of different functional areas, it can also divide the space and complete the transition. Create a comfortable and harmonious lighting environment through contrast between light and dark. The ceiling panel in the living room or bedroom can be designed as such a light strip to create a softer, more comfortable, warmer and brighter living environment. 3.2. Application of light strips in wall modeling design The wall light strip design is suitable for spaces without complicated ceilings. In the background walls of living rooms and bedrooms, the side walls of stairs and aisles, the light strip design can also add elegance and introversion to the space area. The light strip design is integrated into the wall. The original drab walls are made flexible and artistic by outlining unique and interesting graphics. In addition, light strips can also be matched with decorative paintings and bathroom mirrors, which not only increase light, but also play a role in decoration and beautification, highlighting different styles. 3.3. The application of light strip design in indoor space and floor design Light strips can also be used under platforms, stairs and other places. Whether it's ambience creation, contour lighting or decorating a space, the effect is outstanding. For example, installing a sensor light strip under the bed can not only create a warm and romantic atmosphere, but also serve as a small night light, greatly improving the convenience of life. There are lighting strips on the steps of the stairs, which not only solves the lighting problem, but also makes the stairs more plastic and artistic. 3.4. The use of light strips in indoor cabinets in space The design of cabinet light strips is also very common. Placing light strips on the inside of the cabinet shelf can add dark auxiliary lighting and weaken the closed feeling of the space. Kitchen lockers and hanging cabinets are severely backlit. It's easy to see things when cutting vegetables or looking for items. Installing light strips can solve the problem of insufficient light in the kitchen. The above is the sharing of knowledge about LED light strips. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

How to choose LED light strips

1. The light should be uniform First, check whether the brightness between lamp beads is the same. You can directly observe the uniformity with your eyes. Secondly, check whether the brightness is the same at the beginning and end of the lamp strip. Light up the required lengths side by side and observe directly with your eyes. 2. The light color should be consistent Light color refers to the color (color temperature) of light, which can also be directly observed through the eyes. If the light color difference is obvious, it is still easy to see. 3. CRI greater than or equal to 80 When the light strip is used in a large area, more attention should be paid to the color rendering issue. A color rendering index of Ra≥80 is better, and even Ra≥80 is better. 4. The light strips should be continuous Continuity refers to whether there are shadows in the light and whether there are no discontinuous areas. This aspect will directly affect the effect of the light and can be directly distinguished by the naked eye.

Why are Brightorz COB LED Strips perfect for your hotel lighting and home lighting ?

Before understanding our Brightorz’s LED light strips, we need to understand the difference between COB LED light strips and SMD LED light strips? First, the light source structure: COB light strip integrates multiple LED chips on a substrate, and the light-emitting area is continuous and uniform. This design makes the light source of the COB light strip more compact and integrated. In contrast, traditional LED light strips arrange single LED chips side by side on the light strip, and the light sources are relatively more dispersed. Secondly, light efficiency and brightness: The light efficiency of COB light strips is about 30% higher than that of LED light strips. Therefore, under the same power, the brightness of COB light strips is higher. Since the light source structure of COB light strips is more compact, when multiple LED chips work at the same time, the light-emitting area is larger and the brightness is higher, which makes COB light strips more suitable when higher brightness lighting effects are required. Thirdly, environmental performance: COB light strips do not require the use of harmful substances such as mercury during the production process, so they are more environmentally friendly during use. At the same time, COB lamp strips have high color rendering, light color close to natural color, no flicker, no glare, no electromagnetic radiation, no ultraviolet radiation, and no infrared radiation, which can protect eyes and skin. In addition, in terms of service life: COB light strips usually have certain advantages. Since COB technology encapsulates the LED chip directly on the substrate, this structure helps dissipate heat, thereby extending the overall life of the light strip. In contrast, LED light strips have relatively weak heat dissipation capabilities, which may affect their long-term stability. Brightorz's COB LED light strips not only have all the advantages introduced above, but are also IP65 waterproof, flexible to cut, low voltage and safe, easy to install and maintenance-free, making them an ideal choice for your hotel lighting and home lighting. .
