Key points for the development of personalized led light strips
Nowadays, there are many LED strips demanded by customers that are not conventional specifications and need to be customized. However, due to the lack of knowledge of some technical parameters of the LED light strip, there are many requirements that are not in compliance with the technical requirements, and even if it is made, its use will be affected. Here, the track spotlight manufacturers talk about some special considerations about the special customization of LED light strips for the reference of purchasing friends.
Key points for the development of personalized led light strips
1. Circuit design:
The circuit of the LED light strip includes series circuit and parallel circuit, as well as series-parallel circuit. The advantage of the series circuit is that the current is constant, which makes it easier to control the driving current of the LED. The disadvantage is that if one of the LEDs is damaged, all the LEDs will not light up, but it will not affect the life of the other LEDs. The advantage of the parallel circuit is that the failure of any LED will not affect the use of other LEDs. The disadvantage is that if no current limiting resistor is added, any one of the LEDs will be damaged, which will cause the current at both ends of the other LEDs to increase, which will burn other LEDs. And because the driving voltage of a single LED is very low, it will cause most of the voltage. Doing useless work is also a kind of extravagance for resources.
The series-parallel circuit is a common circuit for LED strips at present, because several LEDs are connected in series to form a group, and then connected in parallel with other groups. It can maximize the utilization rate of the power supply voltage and reduce the loss of useless power. At the same time, taking several LEDs in series can ensure that the driving currents of these LEDs are the same, which is conducive to constant LED currents to ensure the service life of the LEDs. The series-connected LED lamp group is then connected in parallel with other groups to ensure that if one group is damaged, it will not affect the normal use of other groups. At the same time, because each group has a current-limiting resistor, the service life of the other groups will not be affected by the damage of one group.
2. The number of lamp beads per meter and the cutting position of the LED strip:
Under normal circumstances, the number of LED lights per meter is fixed. For example, the 1210 has 60 lights, the 5050 has 30 lights, and the special one has 60 lights. If there are other special requirements, for example, 50 lights per meter, which involves modifying the circuit. Since it is usually a group of 3 LEDs, if it is 50 lights, there will be a group that is not enough, but if it is a group of two LEDs, the resistance of the current limiting resistor will be increased, which will cause extravagance of resources . Therefore, when making customized LED strips with special requirements, be sure to pay attention to the number of lamp beads is a multiple of 3, so as not to cause excessive voltage resources.
