Home installation LED strip, how to choose the most appropriate?

General traditional decoration are using traditional T5 lamps, so down a living room and other rooms used 1.2 m 28W T5 lamps will reach more than seven or eight, on average, according to 6 hours / day lighting time calculation, a month of energy consumption 40 degrees of electricity.

With the rapid development of LED lighting, as an auxiliary effect lighting strip LED lights in the LED strip with its environmentally friendly low energy consumption (on average by 6 hours / day lighting time, a month of energy consumption 15 degrees of electricity), can be cut at will and arbitrary bending and other features become the first choice to replace the traditional T5 tube as a hidden light. Today's LED lighting market due to the low quality threshold, the price of LED strip lights from 3 yuan / m to 30 yuan / m ranging, the higher to reach more than 60 yuan.

From the price can be seen that the difference in price of LED strip lights is quite large. For the choice of home decoration we recommend the use of mid-range products with high cost performance. After understanding the market, we can know that LED strip manufacturers are mainly in the Pearl River Delta region, especially in Shenzhen and Zhongshan, the production of the two places occupy more than 85% of the national LED strip.
 
In addition, is the choice of high-voltage LED strip and low-voltage DC12V or 24V strip, in addition to the difference between non-safety voltage and safety voltage, energy saving compared to low-voltage is also the same. In terms of safety, high-voltage LED strips have a layer of insulation casing on the surface so there is no need to worry about electrocution. In comparison, high-voltage LED strip because of the plate and heat dissipation factors, easy to lead to more obvious light decay, thus affecting the durable performance. 

Because the number of home installation is also not much, in terms of durability, we generally recommend the use of low-voltage LED strip, constant low-voltage work, can avoid the unstable voltage and cause excessive current lamp beads. To the greatest extent possible to ensure the service life of the LED strip. The service life of our ZBL low-voltage LED strip can reach 30000-50000 hours.

The last is the choice of brightness. Conventional LED strip light source is generally SMD5050 and SMD2835 two, if you want to play the role of lighting, we recommend the 5050 lamp beads. If you just do decoration, then use 2835 lamp beads. On the traditional T5 lamp brightness in 1000-1200LM as the standard, 5050 lamp beads 60 lamps / m, power between 12-14W, the brightness of each meter in about 1000lm can be replaced, and the power is only half of the traditional T5 lamp.

And if you only need to play a decorative effect, 2835 lamp beads 60 lamps / m LED strip, its power is only 4.8W / m, brightness in about 320LM. Not too bright and not dark, home decoration is particularly suitable. LED strip better effect or installed in the TV background wall, especially to the warm light choice mostly, LED strip more can create a warm and comfortable environment.
