How to check for LED strip quality >>> See More Unveiling the Magic: The Science Behind LED Lights at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/934496991417468225/ LED strips are such fascinating pieces of lighting technology, but they have a bad reputation because of cheap variants clogging the marketplace. Luckily, there are ways to distinguish high-quality LED strips from the ones that will break down within months. In this blog post we’ll do our best to show you what to look for when picking out LED strips. If the product mentions no technical specifications at all, that’s one of the biggest warning signs. Low cost LED strips claim to have high brightness are also a red flag, because they may overdrive the LEDS to the point of premature failure. Look for these specifications LED strips should at least offer you information on the following: the number of LEDS per meter, the brightness per LED emitter and the power draw per meter. These numbers will tell you a lot about the overall quality and brightness of the strips on offer. LED density The number of LEDs per meter is sometimes referred to as LED density. This specification will give you an idea of the distance between the LEDs that are present on a strip. This in turn will tell you whether there will be visible hotspots and dark spots between the LED emitters. Ideally, you want at least 30 LEDs per meter, going up to 120 for the most evenly distributed lighting. Always look out for information about the LED density, because the LED emitters are the most expensive component of the strip and probably the first thing where manufacturers will try to save costs. Power draw per meter The next step is to check the power draw per meter. With this number, you can calculate the amount of electricity that is necessary to power the complete strip. A decent quality LED strip should be capable of providing at least 10 watts per meter. You can also use the power draw per meter to see if the LED emitters on a strip are being overdriven. Divide the wattage per meter by the LED density per meter and the outcome of that simple calculation will tell you the wattage per LED. It’s usually a good sign if the LEDs are not driven at more than 0.2 watts per emitter. >>> See More How to Illuminate Corners with LED Strip Lights at https://band.us/band/90424574/post/30 LED brightness The brightness of a LED strip is also usually measured per meter. A good quality LED strip should at least provide 420 to 1500 lumens per meter. This level is approximately equal to the light output of conventional lamps. The wattage rating of a LED strip is not enough to determine the actual light output, because the strips can have different levels of efficiency. Power requirements In summary: check for all the specifications mentioned above and see if the product meets or exceeds the minimal requirements. If so, all you need to worry about is having enough electricity to power the LED strips. Professional strips are configured to operate at 24V DC, so if you’re running them off a standard power source, for example a wall outlet, you need a power converter for the lower 24V voltage. Also make sure that your power supply has enough capacity to power the strips. You can determine the total power draw by multiplying the LED power draw per meter by the length of the strip in meters. >>> See More Can I add a dimmer to control the brightness of LED strip lights on my RV awning at https://twitback.com/post/437085

Cutting, connecting and installing LED strips >>> See More Beyond Bulbs: The Versatility of LED Lights Solutions at https://www.pinterest.com/pin/934496991417490839/ This article will tell you exactly how to cut, connect and install LED strips so that you can start using LED strips today. Click on one of the links below to jump to that section: Cutting LED strips Connecting LED strips Installing LED strips Frequently asked questions Cutting LED strips LED strips can be cut so that they fit perfectly for whatever use you have in mind. Cutting the strips is fairly easy, but it is important that you know how to go about doing this. Cutting your strips incorrectly could damage the LED strip or cause injury. Where can you cut LED strips? You cannot cut just anywhere on your LED strip. Instead, you must follow the guides located on the strips that will tell you where you can cut them. The LED strips should have copper dots or ovals, typically located every three LEDs. These markers indicate cut points where you can make a cut in the strip. Make sure that you only cut on these markers and use a sharp cutting tool such as a pair of wire cutters or utility knife, to achieve a clean finish and prevent any damage to the internal wires. You should also make sure the strip is disconnected from the power source and laid flat on an even surface before cutting. How to close the exposed circuit To close off the exposed circuit, you will need some good quality electrical tape. Tape is the easiest way to fit an exposed circuit, as you can simply wrap the tape over the end of the wire to prevent the electrical current from from short circuiting or causing injury to anyone. You should wrap the tape around each exposed end several times to ensure that the circuit is properly closed off. >>> See More How to Brighten Your Kitchen with Under Cabinet Lighting at https://glose.com/activity/65869ada888a9b4f146c70ff Connecting LED strips To use your LED lighting, you will need to connect your strips to a power supply. You may also need to connect two LED strips together to create a longer strip. This can be done fairly easily and is a great way to use pieces of a strip that have been previously cut off. How do you connect two LED strips together? Two LED strips can be connected together by using strip connectors. There are two types of connectors; clip-on and fold over. The connector that you choose to use will depend on the type of strip lights that you are connecting. After choosing the correct connector, you should slowly slide the end of your LED strip into the connector; do this carefully to avoid any damage to the lights. Connectors can be used to join two strips together, to expand the length of LED strips or to bypass any obstacles (such as heating pipes) that may get in the way of the LED strip. LED strips can also be connected with a soldering iron. This process involves heat which is used to melt copper wires into each other so that they are attached. After soldering the wires together, you should always cover up the exposed wire with tape so that it is safe to use. How many LED strips can you connect together? The number of LED strips that you can connect together will ultimately depend on the specifications of the strips that you are using. You will need to make sure that the strips you are connecting have the same specifications and that your power supply can handle being connected to multiple strips. Many strips from WeLoveLEDs can be powered in one continuous length up to five metres with power from just one end. How to connect LED strip lights to one power supply For ease of use, LED strips can be connected to one power supply. This will require some simple wiring and you will need to purchase a connector wire with a clip that can hold the LED strip. To connect your LED strip to a power supply, you need to first insert the strip into the clip on the connector wire. Match the '+' sign on the tape with the red wire and the '-' sign with the black wire and then firmly press to close the clasp. You may have to remove some adhesive backing on the strip to do this step. The connector wire can then be plugged into your power supply. For optimal power, you could consider purchasing an LED transformer; this is a power adapter with a higher output wattage that can effectively power larger lighting systems. Installing LED strips Before installing your LED lighting, you will need to consider your power supply, the contours of the wall or surface and the proximity to the power supply. Understanding this before installing the lights will help you to tackle any problems before the LEDs are attached to the wall. It is also worth considering whether you will need to adjust the brightness of your lights. If so, you may need to invest in an LED dimmer >>> See More Deciphering LED Strip Brightness at https://techhub.social/@bestledlightstripsblls/111628713733163266

Are More Expensive LED's Really Worth It? >>> See More How do I install LED strip lights at https://det.social/@bestledlightstripsblls/111430999109090723 LED, or light emitting diode, bulbs have definite advantages over CFL, HID and incandescent bulbs. However, within the LED industry, prices vary greatly from one bulb to another. Are the pricier LED's worth the increased initial investment? The short answer is yes. As with many products, you get what you pay for when it comes to LED lighting. The difference in quality can be quite noticeable. An initial investment for high quality LED lights can actually cost less in the long run when you factor in maintenance, light quality and energy savings. Let's look at a few of the things to consider when comparing LED lighting. Heat Management System Contrary to what many believe, LED's do emit heat and how that heat is managed impacts the life of the components, as well as the brightness generated by the LED. LED's have a 'heat sink' and housing that help to dissipate heat. The style of heat sink can vary greatly from LED to LED, and some are better than others. Be sure to check the lifespan of the LED, for example, LED lights from Atlas can achieve 200,000+ hours , or 22.8 years. Many cheaper bulbs achieve 50,000 hours, or 5.7 years. That means you'll buy 4 "cheap" bulbs for every one quality bulb. LED Chips Chips are the component that actually generates the light in an LED bulb. Chip quality is what determines light color and light output, so high quality chips are of the utmost importance to the quality of light. The price of LED chips on the market varies greatly, but reputable LED manufacturers will only use the best quality chips. Power Management Systems Power management systems are similar to ballasts, in that they convert the current and voltage from the socket to the chip. If the power management system is poor, the light could under-perform, or even fail if it the chip is overpowered. >>> See More Illuminate Your Boat: A Guide to Installing LED Strip Lights at https://bestledlightstripsblls.blogspot.com/2023/11/illuminate-your-boat-guide-to.html Lens LEDs are “directional," meaning they emit light in a specific direction, which is different than incandescent bulbs. The lens in an LED bulb directs the light to the desired area, and will determine how well light is dispersed from the LED to the area being lit. A high quality lens will disperse light more effectively and efficiently. Lumens per Watt All of the above components will determine how many lumens per watt can be generated by the LED light. Lumens are the units used to measure the brightness of a bulb. The more lumens per watt, the more light is generated per energy used. Look for a high number of lumens per watt to get the most energy savings. Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) There are a wide range of color temperatures in the LED industry. Color temperatures of 4200K - 4600K are the whitest light in the light color spectrum and most natural to the human eye. The higher the number, the warmer the light. If you want to avoid green or blue hues associated with some LED's, be sure to choose from the higher end of the spectrum. Warranties Reputable LED manufactures will generally offer some type of warranty on their products. Look for a company that stands behind their products and is easy to work with should you ever need to use the warranty. Yes, they really ARE worth it. As you can see, there are many factors that make up the quality of LED lights, and can impact both the short and long term costs. A higher initial investment for quality LED's can save actually save more in the long run that using so-called "cheap" LED's. >>> See More Where can LED strip lights be used at https://mastodon.world/@bestledlightstripsblls/111430992882187684

Do LED Lights Attract Bugs? >>> See More Can I use third-party apps to control my smart LED strip lights at https://mastodon.world/@bestledlightstripsblls/111579174010097580 Why Are Bugs Attracted To Light? Most bugs have unique eyes, which they use to keep track of moonlight. Keeping the moonlight at a specific angle, bugs find their way to travel. Since we as humans have placed LED lights everywhere, in our homes, in the streets, etc, for our convenience, it somehow disturbs the travelling pattern for the insects. When the light from the lamps reach the sight of bugs, they often get confused and mistakenly think of the artificial light as moonlight. That’s just one reason for the bugs to be attracted towards the lights, there’s more! Another reason for bugs to keep buzzing around the lights is because of the heat. Generally, light bulbs do emit a slight amount of radiation and heat, which makes the bugs feel comfortable in cold weather conditions. Moreover, scientists do claim that a few kinds of flowers reflect ultraviolet rays. Since the artificial lights also emit some ultraviolet rays, bugs might mistakenly think of the light as flowers. There’s not one single reason why bugs like to buzz around the lights, so what colour of lights should you use to keep the insects away? Let’s find out. What Light Color Spectrum Attracts Insects? The people at PARS did an experiment by dividing a farm into several sections and installing different coloured lights in each of them. Later on, most of the bugs around the lights were captured for counting to find out which colour spectrum attracts the most insects. And, the results are pretty good. After the experiment, it was found that the insects are more attracted to Black (ultraviolet) light. After that, the most number of insects were captured around the Blue lights, followed up by White, Yellow, Green and Red. So, it basically means that lights of cool colour temperatures attract more insects than hot temperature colours. However, we cannot just install a red colour light in our living room to keep the bugs away, yellow is quite a good choice to go with. Otherwise, you can stick to the white lights as well. >>> See More Where to Place LED Lights in Your Dorm Room at https://glose.com/activity/657b0fdcbce914d424acc74a Blue Lights and Mosquitoes As we discussed in the above section, blue is one of the most favourite colours of bugs. That said, we can conclude that mosquitoes, like any other bug, will also show similar behaviour. But, there’s a catch. Although bugs like the blue light and white light, as you can see it by yourself around the street lights. If you go around the same lamp in the morning, you will find many of the insects dead there only. So, even after the conditions were favourable for the insects, what makes them die eventually? Oftentimes, we see mosquito killer machines installed in places like restaurants, schools, etc. Such machines use light rods that emit blue light rays to attract the mosquitoes towards them. As soon as the mosquito comes in contact with the machine’s grill, it gives an electrical shock to the mosquito. So, it is pretty clear that mosquitoes like the blue light spectrum. What about the mosquitoes and bugs around the street lamps? Although the blue light attracts the bugs, the over-exposure to such a light spectrum destroys the cells present in an insect’s body, making them weak from inside. Whatever the blue light does to the insects, it’s not a practical choice to install blue light in our homes as it’s quite harmful to us, humans as well. What About Yellow Light? We often see lights marketed as bug repellent lights, which is wrong and misleading. There’s no such light spectrum that can make the bugs go away, or kill them. The yellow spectrum of light is not the most attractive colour in an insect’s eyes. That’s the reason we don’t see a large group of bugs around them, but that does not make them bug repellent to be precise. It’s just that yellow lights attract fewer bugs than other lights such as black and blue. So, if you are looking for the right light colour for your home, yellow lighting is still a far better option than white or blue, if you seriously hate bugs! Warmer colours like yellow are even comfortable for human eyes, so this is a good colour choice. >>> See More The Ultimate Guide To Addressable LED Strips: Revolutionize Your Lighting at https://www.linkedin.com/posts/bestledlightstripsblls_the-ultimate-guide-to-addressable-led-strips-activity-7141088625294819330-H4C2
