Do you know LED light strips? Let us take you to know them from the performance, features, parameter types, power and warranty.
- What is a light strip?
Light strips are also called flexible light strips. They are mainly luminous products made of LED lamp beads welded to a PCB soft board. They are available in single color or double color.
RGB, RGBW and RGBWW, etc., can be used for decorative lighting and even commercial lighting. - Components of LED light strips
LED light strips are mainly composed of FPC boards, lamp beads, resistors, adhesive, wires, glue and other parts. They are also equipped with some basic accessories according to different products. - What products can light strips be divided into?
According to the voltage of the light strip, it can be divided into low-voltage light strip and high-voltage light strip.
According to whether the light strip is waterproof, it can be divided into non-waterproof light strip and waterproof light strip.
According to the color of the light strip, it can be divided into: warm white, pure white, natural white, red, blue, green, yellow, purple, amber and UV, etc.
According to the color type of the light strip, it can be divided into: single color, double color, RGB, RGBW and RGBWW
According to the IC, it can be divided into magic light strips and ordinary light strips.
- What are the differences between 12V & 220V diode light strips?
The main difference between the two is the input voltage. The input voltage of the high-voltage lamp strip is 110V or 220V, which can be directly connected to the mains power; the input voltage of the low-voltage lamp strip is usually 5V, 12V and 24V, and it needs to be used with an adapter.
High-voltage diode light strips and low-voltage diode light have their own uses and are both very good products. Of course, generally high-end engineering markets choose low-voltage led diode light strips.
- Differences between commercial light strips & retail light strips
Commercial light strips, also called engineering light strips, have high optical parameters and stable quality, and are mainly used in mid-to-high-end projects such as villas, hotels, and hypermarket lights; retail light strips are cheap and are mainly used for retail. - What are the different waterproof products for low voltage lamps?
- What is their respective waterproof rating?
Light strips can be mainly divided into IP20 non-waterproof, IP65 glue-waterproof, IP67 casing waterproof and IP68 glue-filled waterproof.

8.What kinds of LED Lighting Strips & specific parameters?
Commonly used lamp bead parameters are as follows:
Lamp bead type Power VF value Rated current Single brightness Display index
SMD2835 0.2W/piece 3V 60mA 22-24lm Ra80/90/95
SMD5050 0.2W/piece 3V 60mA 20-22lm Ra80/90
SMD2216 0.1W/piece 3V 30mA 10-12lm Ra90
SMD2110 0.1W/piece 3V 30mA 10-12lm Ra90
SMD3528 0.06W/piece 3V 20mA 6-8lm Ra80/90
SMD3014 0.1W/piece 3V 30mA 10-12lm Ra80/90
SMD5730 0.5W/piece 3V 150mA 50-55lm Ra80/90
9.How to calculate the theoretical power of the light strip.
The power of the light strip = voltage * rated current of the lamp beads * number of groups. For example: 2835 60 lamps/meter, 12V light strip, the theoretical power of one meter = 12V60mA20=14.4W/M
10.What are the main boards of the light strip?
At present, the boards are mainly divided into single-sided boards and double-sided boards. According to the thickness, the double-sided boards can be divided into 2OZ, 3OZ and 4OZ.
11.What is the color rendering index of the light strip?
What is the Ra of the LED light strip?
Ra is the color rendering index. In order to quantitatively evaluate the color rendering of the light source, the concept of color rendering index is introduced. Taking the standard light source as the standard, its color rendering index is set to 100, and the color rendering index of the other light sources is lower than 100.
Ra must be greater than 80 to be a qualified product. According to customer needs, there are also different concepts of Ra90, Ra95 and Ra97.
12.What is R9?
The color rendering index has R1, R2, R3, … R8.
The followers of the 8 colors are Ra.
In the color rendering index, R9 is the color rendering index of a certain light source for “rain red”.
R10-R15 filter, filter green, filter blue, Caucasian skin color, leaf green, Asian skin color.
The special color rendering index R9 is the color rendering ability of irrigation red. Since LED products generally lack red light components, R9 was initially used as an important supplement to the general color rendering index Ra, used for light sources to describe the ability to restore irrigation red. The requirement of R9>0 is clearly stated in the “Architectural Lighting Design Standard”.
13.How long is the warranty of LED flex light strips?
Depending on different product series, our company provides different warranties of 3-5 years. I have a complete warranty agreement to ensure your safety.
14.How does the LED light strip ensure color consistency?
Generally, as long as the lamp beads are controlled in one color bin or SDCM3, the color consistency is very good; SDCM5 is divided into 2 color bins, and using one of them in the same batch can also ensure good color consistency.
