What are the considerations for buying led strips?
1. Ensure the lighting area
First, you need to decide whether you want to install the led strips indoors, outdoors, or both. Then determine what kind of lighting you need: accent or mood lighting, under cabinet or stair lighting, task lighting, signage, industrial lighting, custom lighting, keeping a clear purpose in mind will help you simplify the process of choosing the perfect led strip. It will also help you centralize your search so you know exactly what to look for and where to look.
2. Determine the size
Once you know your lighting needs, measure the spaces that need lighting. This will help you determine the size and length of led strip lights you need. Usually, the standard length of led strip is 5 meters. However, you can easily put together led tape using led strip connectors. At Elstar, we can customize led strips to fit your project exactly. The size of the led strip is also affected by the type of lighting needs. For example, our Ultra Slim 2835 led strip is perfect for indirect room lighting. With a width of only 5mm, the tape light can be installed in tight spaces and can be easily camouflaged.
3. The number of installations
Determining the length of your led strip is important, but it doesn't tell you how much light the strip will produce. For that information you need to check the led density. LED density defines the number of LEDs per strip. The higher the LED density, the brighter the LED tape will emit. The density of LEDs depends on the purpose of lighting, but generally, the number of meters of LED strips should not be less than 30. We offer customers the option to choose the LED density required for the project. Our led strips contain 30 led/meter up to 120 led/meter.
5. Product spacing
Another important consideration is to check the spacing of the LEDs. This refers to the distance between two LEDs on a single strip. Larger distances will result in black spots and visible hot spots. This also affects the overall brightness of the ribbon light. What color do you want your led strip to produce? LED strips can produce almost any color in sunlight. There are three types of led strips depending on the color.
6. Color
White led strips help produce white light (warm and cool). RGB led strips help to produce red, green, blue, orange and any other colors on the spectrum that can be created by combining these colors together. RGBW led strips contain a combination of white leds and RGB leds. They can be combined with other colors to produce white light.
