How to install the quality of the living room light strip
Nowadays, in the process of home decoration and decoration, there will be ceiling installations, especially in the living room. For the home decoration effect, light strips are generally installed around the living room ceiling. The decoration of the living room light strips is very important in the decoration of the living room, and the decoration is beautiful. Besides, it can also make you feel warm when you are tired at home. There are many living room lamp belt products on the market, and the quality is also uneven. What are the ways to distinguish the quality of the living room lamp belt? How to install the living room light belt? Let's follow the editor of BENWEI LIGHTING to find out.

How to distinguish the quality of the living room light strip:
1. Look at the solder joints:
The LED light strips produced by the regular LED light strip manufacturers are produced by SMT patch technology, using solder paste and reflow soldering process. Therefore, the solder joints on the LED light strip are relatively smooth and the amount of solder will not be too much. The solder joints are The arc shape extends from the FPC pad to the LED electrode, and the amount of solder joints of the fake version of the LED light strip is uneven, mostly as a dot covering the solder foot, and there will be different levels of tin tips. This is Typical phenomenon of manual welding.
2. Look at the quality of FPC:
FPC is divided into two types: copper and rolled copper. The copper foil of the copper-clad board is protruding. If you look closely, it can be seen from the connection between the pad and the FPC. The rolled copper is closely connected to the FPC and can be bent at will. Folding will not cause the pad to fall off. If the copper-clad board is bent too much, the pad will fall off. If the temperature is too high during maintenance, the pad will fall off.
3. Look at the cleanliness of the surface of the LED strip:
If the LED strips produced by the SMT process are clean, the surface is very clean and no impurities and stains can be seen. However, if the counterfeit LED strips produced by the hand-soldering process are used, no matter how they are cleaned, there will be stains on the surface. And the traces of cleaning, and there will be flux and tin dross residue on the surface of the FPC.
4. 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, while the counterfeit version of LED light strips will save costs because of cost savings. However, the recycled reel is used, and there is no anti-static and moisture-proof packaging bag. If you look carefully at the reel, you can see that there are traces and scratches left by the removal of the label on the outside.
5. Look at the label:
The regular LED light strip packaging bag and reel will have printed labels instead of printed labels, while the fake version of the label is printed, and the specifications and parameters are not uniform.
6. Look at the attachment:
The regular LED light strips will be enclosed in the packaging box with instructions for use and light strip specifications, and will also be equipped with LED light strip connectors or card holders; while the cottage version of the LED light strip packaging box does not have these accessories, because After all, some manufacturers can still save while saving.

The above is a brief introduction to the identification method of the quality of the living room light strip. I believe that after the above introduction, everyone will have a further understanding and understanding of the quality of the living room light strip. Of course, after selecting the high-quality light strip, follow Next is the installation of the light strip. How to install the light strip in the living room? Let's take a look at the following introduction:
How to install the living room light belt:
1. Indoor installation:
When LED light strips are used for interior decoration, because they don’t have to withstand wind and rain, the installation is very simple. Each LED light strip has a self-adhesive 3M double-sided tape attached to the back, and the 3M double-sided tape can be removed directly during installation. The sticker on the surface, then fix the light bar to the place where it needs to be installed, and just press it flat with your hands. As for some places that require corners or are longer, what should I do? Very simple, the LED strip is a circuit structure composed of 3 LEDs in series and parallel, and each 3 LEDs can be cut and used individually.
2. Power connection method:
The general voltage of LED strips is 12V DC, so you need to use a switching power supply. The size of the power supply is determined by the power and connection length of the LED strips. If you don’t want each LED strip to be controlled by a power supply, you can buy one. A relatively large switching power supply is used as the main power supply, and then all the LED light strip input power supplies are connected in parallel (the wire size can be extended if the wire size is not enough), and the main switching power supply is uniformly powered. This has the advantage that it can be controlled centrally, which is inconvenient. It is impossible to achieve the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED light strip. Which method is used can be measured by yourself.
3. Controller connection mode:
LED marquee strips and RGB full-color strips need to use controllers to achieve variable effects, and the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of a simple controller is 10 to 15 meters, and the control distance of a remote controller is 10 to 15 meters. The control distance is 15 to 20 meters, and the longest distance can be controlled up to 30 meters. If the connection distance of the LED strip is long and the controller cannot control that long strip, then a power amplifier is needed for tapping.
4. Pay attention to the connection distance of the LED strip:
Generally speaking, the longest connection distance of 3528 series LED light strips is 20 meters, and the longest connection distance of 5050 series LED light strips is 15 meters. If this connection distance is exceeded, the LED light strips will easily heat up. The use process will affect the service life of the LED light strip. Therefore, it must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements when installing, and the LED light strip should not be overloaded.
