The similarities and differences between LED light strips, LED downlights and LED spotlights

Light strips are lights that glow all around when the ceiling is suspended. Normal people don't use light strips to save electricity, but if conditions permit, it is really beautiful to light up the light strips! LED light strips can relieve everyone's concerns in this regard, because LED light strips use LEDs to emit light, which prolongs the service life of LED light strips and can reach 50,000 to 100,000 uninterrupted uses. They also save 75% of electricity compared to ordinary light strips. The surface temperature of LED light strips is very low, which also increases the service life of LED light strips.

LED light strip refers to the assembly of LEDs on a strip-shaped FPC (flexible circuit board) or PCB hard board. It is named because its product shape is like a strip.

LED light strips are divided into flexible LED light strips and LED hard light strips. The differences are as follows:

1. Flexible LED light strips use FPC as the assembly circuit board and SMD LEDs for assembly, so that the thickness of the product is only the thickness of a coin and does not take up space; the common specifications are 30cm long 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs and 50cm long 15 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 30 LEDs, etc. There are also 60cm, 80cm, etc. Different users have different specifications. And it can be cut at will, and it can be extended at will without affecting the light emission. FPC is soft and can be bent, folded, and wound at will. It can be moved and stretched in three-dimensional space without breaking. It is suitable for use in irregular places and places with small spaces. Because it can be bent and wound at will, it is suitable for any combination of various patterns in advertising decoration.

2. LED hard light strips use PCB hard boards as assembly circuit boards. LEDs are assembled with SMD LEDs or with direct-plug LEDs. Different components are used depending on the needs. The advantage of hard light strips is that they are easier to fix, and are convenient to process and install; the disadvantage is that they cannot be bent at will and are not suitable for irregular places. There are many specifications of SMD LEDs for hard light strips, such as 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 30 LEDs, 36 LEDs, and 40 LEDs; there are different specifications of direct-plug LEDs, such as 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 36 LEDs, and 48 LEDs. There are front and side ones, and the side-emitting ones are also called Great Wall light strips.

LED light strips and LED light strips are gradually emerging in various decoration industries because of their long life (generally normal life is 80,000 to 100,000 hours) and green environmental protection. LED light strips and LED light strips are now widely used in furniture, automobiles, advertising, lighting, ships and other industries.

Light strips. It is the abbreviation of LED light strips. Most people are not used to the long nouns when they say it, so they omit the LED in front and directly call it light strips. This name of light strip also includes many old-fashioned light strips such as large two-wire, large three-wire, round two-wire, etc., which directly connect LEDs with wires instead of FPC or PCB. Of course, it also includes flexible light strips and hard light strips.

Light bar. This is the abbreviation of PCB hard light strip and Great Wall light strip.

LED Strip. This is the English name of LED light strip. Strip is translated as "strip steel" in Yahoo and "small strip" in Google Translate, but the name of LED light strip in the mouth of foreign customers is LED Strip

Flex LED Strip. This is the English name of flexible LED light strip. Flex is translated as "flexible" in Google Translate, but it becomes "conductive wire" in Yahoo Translate. But the Flex LED Strip mentioned by foreign customers is what we call flexible LED light strip in China.

LED Light Bar. This is the English name of LED light bar. Light Bar is translated as "light strip" in Yahoo Translate, but it becomes "bar" in Google Translate. It seems that each translation is different, but foreign customers are used to calling LED light strips LED Light Bar.

LED downlights are used for decoration and emit a faint light, but it gets brighter as it is turned on, which is very warm.

Downlight is a kind of lamp with more concentrated light than ordinary surface-mounted lamps, and is generally used for general lighting or auxiliary lighting.

Spotlight is a kind of lamp with highly concentrated light, and its light can be specified to a specific target. It is mainly used for special lighting, such as emphasizing a very tasteful or innovative place.

The use of LED spotlights is like that of flashlights, which are generally used outdoors. There are also some for indoor use, and their uses vary depending on the type.

LED spotlights are made of metal materials with good heat dissipation performance; various ultra-high brightness LED lights are selected and combined after testing and aging; they can be used continuously for 35,000 hours; Power: 1.8W, 3.5W, 4W (you can choose); The operating voltage is DC/AC12V, 24V, 110/220V;

Features of spotlights:

1. Power saving: The reflector of the spotlight has a strong refraction function, and a power of about 10 watts can produce strong light.

2. Focusing: The light is concentrated, which can highlight or emphasize an object or space, and the decorative effect is obvious.

3. Comfortable: The color of the spotlight is close to natural light, and the light is reflected on the wall without glare.

4. Many variations: Small bulbs can be used to create different projection effects.

Classification of spotlights:

1. Downlights. They can be installed on the ceiling, above the bedside, in the cabinet, and can also be hung, floor-standing, or suspended in the air. They are divided into two types: fully hidden and semi-hidden. The characteristics of downlights are that the light source is locally illuminated and freely scattered from top to bottom, and the light source is closed in the lampshade. Its shapes include tubular downlights, sleeve downlights, flowerpot downlights, concave groove downlights, and downlight wall lights, etc., which can be installed in the porch, living room, and bedroom respectively. For example, a green porcelain shade downlight is installed near the TV, which allows for clear viewing without affecting TV watching. A sleeve-type downlight is installed above the sculpture to direct people's sight to the artwork, making it easier to appreciate and enjoy. When choosing a downlight, the wattage should not be too large. It is only for illumination and should not be glaring.

2. Track spotlights. Most of them are made of metal spray or ceramic materials, with pure white, beige, light gray, gold, silver, black and other tones; they are long or round in shape, and of different sizes. The light beam projected by the spotlight can be focused on a painting, a sculpture, a pot of flowers, a fine decoration, etc., or it can be illuminated on the back of the swivel chair where the owner of the room sits, creating a colorful and bizarre light and shadow effect. It can be used in the living room, porch, bedroom, or study. One or more spotlights can be installed, and the shape and color of the spotlights should be consistent.
