How to Choose LED Strip Lights

Luminance
"Lumens" are used to quantify how bright an object appears to the human eye. LED output, the number of LEDs per square foot, and LED strip light wattage are the factors that determine how bright an LED strip light is. Certain projects need a certain brightness level in order to look the way they want. Our recommendation is to always add a dimmer and go brighter than is required.


Colours & CCT

CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature) is the term used to describe the colour temperature of light, and it is expressed in degrees Kelvin (K). The temperature rating, which goes from cold white (6500K) to warm white (2700K), has a direct impact on how white light looks. As the Kelvin temperature increases, the colour will change from yellow to yellowish white to white, and finally to blue white, which is the coldest.

 

Benwei's's LED strip lights (RGB or RGBW) come in a vast array of single-color and multi-color strip options. They come in a variety of colours, including red, green, blue, yellow, pink, warm white, neutral white, and cool white. A variety of mood-altering atmospheres are produced by different colour temperatures and tints. Cool hues like blue and green evoke sentiments of calm, stability, and tranquilly; warm hues like orange and red evoke feelings of vitality, ecstasy, and enthusiasm.

 

Is it waterproof?
The waterproofing function is not necessary if you want to place the LED strip lights inside, such as in your living room, bedroom, or around furniture. You may cut your spending needs by only buying non-waterproof LED strip lights. We advise getting strip lights with an IP65 certification if you want to place them in your bathroom, kitchen or other locations where water splashes often. whether you are wondering whether you really need to buy strip lights with an IP67 or even IP68 protection certification, the answer is no (unless you are constantly immersing the strip light in water, which is not frequent inside).

 

Length
To get the finest decorative impact, we suggest measuring the required length before selecting a light strip. Steer clear of lengths that are either too lengthy to squander or too short to provide the intended impact. Benwei's offers a range of light strip lengths to its clients.

 

How Are LED Strip Lights Installed?
Installing Benwei's products is rather simple. Simply take these three simple steps:
1. Clean and dry the area

2. Unroll the light strip and trim it if needed
3. Adhere the light strip to the outside.

How Can LED Light Strips Be Cut?
LED strips on Benwei's devices feature a cuttable mark. Simply trim the extra material at the cuttable point.
It may typically be trimmed every three LEDs.
