What should be paid attention to when using single color LED strip lights?

In modern lighting designs all over the world, the use of flexible single light LED strips is rapidly increasing. Architects and lighting designers are implementing single color LED strips in residential, commercial and industrial projects at an increasing rate. This is due to the increase in efficiency, color choice, brightness and ease of installation. Homeowners can now design a complete lighting kit like a lighting expert and spend an hour or two.

Single light LED strip lights (also called LED tape lights or LED ribbon lights) have many options in the market, and there is no clear standard for how to use LED strip lights correctly.

This passage is going to talk about the followings of using single color LED strip lights:

(1)Precautions for installation the single color LED light strip

What are the precautions for installing single color LED strip lights? Let’s take a look.

When installing, please support the plastic shaft, and then hang it from upstairs to install. Never remove the entire roll and install it.

Use a blade to cut the incision evenly and not cut it at will; cut off the excess copper wire, then swing the top side to the left and then insert the pin.

Seal the plug and tail plug with silica gel for waterproof treatment.

Do not pull the single color LED strip lights forcibly during installation. This product can only withstand limited pulling force.

(2)Points to note when using single color LED strip lights

Single color LED strip lights are very fragile, so there are many points of attention during use.

You need to prevent the solder joints of the single color LED strip light from being soldered. The vibration during transportation and use causes the solder joints to fall off and the strip light does not light up.

Avoid excessive bending angles when using single color LED strips, which will cause the solder joints of the LED flexible strips to separate from the copper foil and cause no light.

Avoid excessive squeezing of the single color LED strip light in use, which may cause damage to the LED strip light chip or the deformation of the solder joints and fall off.

Avoid the LED strip light from being twisted during use. If it is twisted, it will cause the solder joints of the LED flexible strip light to fall off and cause no light.

(3)Verifiable quality options for single color LED strip lights

What do you need to pay attention to when you are looking for a "one-and-for-all" lighting system that can be used for many years?

In order to ensure that your single color LED strip lights have a long service life and to reduce the additional maintenance costs of replacement, you need to verify the quality statement.

You can ask if there is thermal management and heat dissipation for the strip light before purchasing. If not, the life of the LED chip may be reduced. Thermal management can be done at the chip level and PCB level. Don't rely solely on the aluminum heat sink to dissipate the heat of the LED. Products can be designed at the component level to ensure a longer service life.

Pay attention to color quality and accuracy-when buying a "3000K warm white" LED strip, you should not expect to get a bright white color from the LED. A test report is required to prove that the color to be purchased is coming soon. This is especially important when adding other lighting to an existing installation. If the colors do not match, it will be very obvious.

Material quality-Product performance and lifetime depend not only on the quality of the LED, but also on the thickness and materials used in the PCB, resistors, wires and lead-free soldering.

Pay attention to warranty, customer service and installation/design assistance. Our LED lights are of excellent quality and can illuminate your projects for many years to come.
