Elementary Knowledge of LED Strips

The rapid development of economy

The LED lighting is very common in our life. Especially the LED strips are now widely used for decoration in architecture and on holidays. LED quantity is very important for the brightness of LED lighting. For example, the usual 15, 30 and 60 LED lamp means the quantity of LED components inlay in the strip per meter. Generally speaking, the 1210 specifications LED strip has 60 LED components per meter, the 5050 spec. is 30, but the special one is 60. Different LED strips have different price is just because of this. It is an important factor to fix the price of LED strips.

Color temperature means
To heat up a standard black body, when the temperature rise to a certain degree, then the color will change from the start deep red to light red, orange yellow, white, blue, a gradually change. When the color of the light source is the same with the color of the black body, the then absolute temperature is called color temperature. In general, color temperature is not used as an index to examine the LED strips. But many foreign customers will have this special demand just because of the use of environment. If the color temperature of the light source is different, then its light color is different: When the color temperature is below 3300 K, the light color is partial to red and gives a warm feeling; the warm feeling atmosphere is called warm color temperature. Color temperature in 3000- 6000 K is in the middle, people in this color have no special obvious visual psychology effect, but have the feeling of frank; so it's called "neutral" color temperature, if the color temperature is more than 6000 K, the light color is partial to blue, and give people a cool feeling, this is generally called cool color temperature.

LED lamp with different color
Different luminous intensity Its commonly used unit is MCD. The higher the data is, the higher the luminous intensity. That is the brighter of the LED strip. This is an important index to evaluate the brightness of LED strips. Of course, the higher brightness of the LED strip, the higher of the price. This is because the high brightness LED chip prices is partial expensive, and the higher the brightness, the more difficult of the encapsulation.
