What is a light strip?
Light strip refers to welding LED lamps on copper wire or ribbon flexible circuit board with special processing technology, and then turning on the power supply to emit light, so it is named because it looks like a light strip when emitting light.
I. Main features
1, soft, can curl like iron wire;
2. It can be cut and extended;
3, the light bulb and the circuit are completely wrapped in flexible plastic, which has good insulation and waterproof performance and is safe to use;
4. Strong weather resistance;
5, not easy to break, long service life;
6, easy to make graphics, text and other shapes.
Second, advantages
As a lamp, the light strip also has essential advantages: the luminous color is changeable, the light can be adjusted, the color change can be controlled, and monochrome and RGB effects can be selected to bring colorful visual effects to the environment.
Third, the scope of application
Light strips have been widely used in buildings, bridges, roads, gardens, courtyards, floors, ceilings, furniture, cars, ponds, underwater, advertisements, signboards and other fields as decoration or lighting, adding endless joy and festive atmosphere to various holiday activities, such as Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, Easter and National Day. It has entered advertising, decoration and architecture with tenacious vitality. Widely used in building corridors, bridges, guardrails, hotels, Lin Yuan, dance halls, advertising and decoration places, etc.
Does the light belt cost electricity?
There are two kinds of common lamps. One is connected in series with a white incandescent lamp. This kind of light strip is not very common in the market. Although the price is cheap, only a few dollars per meter, it consumes a lot of electricity and has a short service life. So the user experience and popularity are very low. The other is LED strip, and led strip is the mainstream light strip in the market at present. Its beauty, decoration, convenience, durability and many other advantages are favored by the majority of users. It is said on the Internet that LED strip consumes a lot of electricity, so many people put it once or twice when they buy LED strip, and some families are also worried about electricity consumption, so the decorated light strips are opened once in a while, which is both a "vase" and a waste of resources. So does LED strip really need electricity? Let the data speak!
We all know that light bulbs have many kinds of power, such as 50W, 100W, 200W and so on, and so do light strips. The power per meter of commonly used LED lamps is 1.5W, 4.8W and 7.2W. The power consumption of 7.2W is the highest in daily use, so let's take the lamp belt with the highest power consumption of 7.2W per meter for calculation. Suppose we use it for 6 hours every day, then the daily power consumption is 7.2w * 6h = 43.2wh The monthly power consumption is 43.2Wh*30= 1296Wh, that is 1.296 kWh, so the annual power consumption is1296wh *1. Incandescent lamps are widely used in every household. Suppose 100W incandescent bulb is used for 6 hours every day, and the power consumption for 6 hours is 100Wh*6=600Wh, that is, 0.6 kWh. Even incandescent lamps have higher power than light strips, so the electricity consumption data of refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners have no right to speak here.
This is still the light strip with the maximum power consumption we assume, and the light strip with 1.2W is enough for ordinary households. And in fact, we use the light strip for less than 6 hours every day, which is only the maximum estimated power consumption, but it is enough to prove that the light strip is without electricity. What's more gratifying is that many lights on the market are energy-saving, electricity-saving, environmentally friendly, safe and beautiful, and are deeply loved by users.
