LED light strips play a role in decoration and setting off the atmosphere. Through the shaping of the space light environment, fascinating display space and display images are created. In order to better play the lighting effect of LED strips, we must pay attention to the following installation methods and precautions of LED strips.

When the LED light strip is used for interior decoration, the installation is very simple because it does not have to withstand wind and rain. Take the LED light strips produced by Foresight as an example. The back of each LED light strip is affixed with self-adhesive 3m double-sided tapes. When installing, you can directly tear off the sticker on the surface of the 3m double-sided tape, and then fix the light strip on the surface to be installed. place, just press it flat with your hands.

Outdoor installation is subject to wind and rain. If 3m glue is used for fixing, the adhesiveness of 3m will be reduced over time and the LED light strip will fall off. Therefore, outdoor installation is often fixed with card slots. Where it needs to be cut and connected, the method is the same as the indoor installation, except that it needs to be additionally equipped with waterproof glue to consolidate the waterproof effect of the connection point.

The general voltage of the LED light strip is DC 12V, so it needs to use a switching power supply for power supply. The size of the power supply is determined according to the power and connection length of the LED light strip.

If you don't want each LED strip to be controlled by a power supply, you can buy a switching power supply with relatively high power as the total power supply, and then connect all the LED strip input power supplies in parallel (if the wire size is not enough, you can extend it separately), unified by the main switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be controlled centrally, but the inconvenience is that the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip cannot be achieved. The specific method can be measured by yourself.

LED marquee strips and RGB full-color strips need to use controllers to achieve changing effects, and the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of a simple controller is 10 to 15 meters. The control distance is 15 to 20 meters, and the longest distance can be controlled to 30 meters. If the LED strip has a long connection distance and the controller cannot control that long strip, then a power amplifier needs to be used to tap.

Generally speaking, the maximum connection distance of 3528 series LED strips is 20 meters, and the longest connection distance of 5050 series LED strips is 15 meters. If the connection distance is exceeded, the LED light strip will easily heat up, which will affect the service life of the LED light strip during use. Therefore, the installation must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the manufacturer, and the LED light strip should not be overloaded.

1. Do not turn on the LED light strip when the whole roll of LED light strip is not detached from the packaging or piled up in a ball;

2. When the led light strip needs to be cut according to the on-site installation length, the light strip can only be cut at the place marked with scissors, otherwise one of the units will not light up. Generally, the length of each unit is 1.5-2 meters;

3. When connecting the power supply or connecting two light strips in series, first bend the head of the colorful light to the left and right, so that the wires in the light strip are exposed by about 2-3mm. connected to avoid short circuits;

4. Only LED strips with the same specifications and the same voltage can be connected in series, and the total length of the series connection cannot exceed the maximum allowable length;

5. When the LED light strips are connected in series, each time a section is connected, that is, the pilot section is lit, so as to find out in time whether the positive and negative poles are connected incorrectly and whether the light emission direction of each section of the light strip is consistent;

6. The end of the light strip must be covered with a PVC tail plug, and after it is fastened with entrainment tape, the periphery of the interface is sealed with neutral glass glue to ensure safety.

7. Because the LED has unidirectional conductivity, if you use a power cord with an AC/DC converter, you should conduct a power-on test after completing the power connection to confirm that the positive and negative electrodes are correctly connected before putting it into use.
