Luminous effect: the angle of the spotlight is 5°-180°. If you need a reflective effect, choose a large angle; if you need a spotlight effect, choose a small angle.
Is there a driver: the lamp with driver has no flicker, but the life is shorter; the lamp without driver has a longer life, but there is a slight flicker.

Look at the packaging: regular LED light strips will be packaged in anti-static coils, usually 5 meters per roll or 10 meters per roll, and then sealed with anti-static and moisture-proof packaging bags on the outside.

Different ceiling lights matching skills:
Downlight match
1. The choice of downlight color is mainly warm white or true white. Living room lighting needs higher, it is better to choose a white one. But the bedroom is a private space, in fact, warm white is the main choice. In terms of decoration style, the classical type uses a darker but brighter lamp, which is generally off-white, and white is generally used for general home furnishings. If you want to achieve better results, add some warm colors in the middle of the white.
2. If the downlight is used as the main lighting, you can choose a larger wattage. If there are headlights, you can choose a smaller wattage just for decoration.
3. As the main light, the downlight needs to adjust the illumination angle and distribution position of the downlight to take care of the lighting needs of every corner. It is generally arranged in a surrounding manner.
Downlights with a wide light distribution angle (beam angle 120°) are more suitable for installation in high space places such as the central hall and lobby of buildings. Especially choose the wide light distribution and high-power downlights. Will cause shadows, which is more conducive to the improvement of space brightness.
Downlights with a narrow light distribution angle have a narrow light-emitting surface, which will form a circular spot on the illuminated surface, and is suitable for small spaces.
4. Household downlights are generally recommended for embedded installation, because surface-mounted lamps will make the originally small space appear messy and oppressive, which will damage the aesthetics of the space.
Light strip match
1. It is better to choose the same color temperature as the main lighting downlight for the color temperature of the light strip, or the color temperature should not be much different.
2. The color of the light needs to be combined with the overall tone of the interior decoration, the functional requirements of each space, and the light of the interior space to determine the wattage and color of the light, and form an analogous and complementary color match with the surrounding environment.
3. If the main light in the living room uses brighter white light, then the light strip can be yellow light. A small amount of soft yellow light will make people feel comfortable staying at home. Try not to choose too much white light.
4. The yellow LED effect is mainly warm, but because the luminous efficiency of yellow LED lamp beads is not high, the light effect is relatively dark, so the light color is relatively dull. It is recommended to use multiple beads.
5. The blue light can be placed on the bar counter, the effect is dreamy and fresh, and the noble and glamorous home decoration style can also be highlighted after the overall decoration of the room.
6. If you want other romantic effects, use blue, pink, purple, etc. to match it according to your favorite color. You can choose white, light yellow, light pink, and you can also choose between white and light yellow. Colors that are too warm and cold are not recommended.
Spotlight match
1. For parts that require strong light, such as coffee tables, background walls, handicraft ornaments or pendants, use them for accent lighting and adjust the angle of illumination.
2. For the illumination of the wall, the wall should be washed without illuminating the wall. The light is soft and has a strong sense of dominance. Even if there is only light and material, it will not feel stiff and monotonous, but it will become natural and comfortable. The light shines on the walls and cabinets, and washes the walls down, but there is a feeling of raising the ceiling, reducing the sense of occlusion of the space.
3. Choose to use contrasting colors according to the hue of the home, forming a strong contrast and a sense of existence, with distinctive characteristics. It can also produce the effect of mutual support and harmony. For example, blue contrasts orange, yellow-green contrasts pink, and purple contrasts yellow lights.
4. Green, which has the effect of stabilizing emotions, has the same visual contraction effect as blue. The green spotlights in the room will not produce a sense of oppression. The most basic color matching method is to unify the natural colors.
