THE NEW LED LIGHT STRIPS- GREAT IN LIGHTING COMFORT, FLEXIBLE IN APPLICATION

Use the flexible options of waterproof led light strips for creative light design. The more and more widespread LED technology scores over classic filament technology with higher efficiency and service life. At the same time, the small diodes can be used in a particularly creative way thanks to their compact size.



Waterproof LED strips with constant distances between the LEDs are suitable for various lighting scenarios. Here you will find out how you can attach LED strips correctly and learn about creative design ideas for use in offices, residential complexes, shops, and underground car parks.

LED STRIPS: INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT ASSEMBLY

Smart + OUTDOOR FLEX

You can easily mount LED strips with self-adhesive tape on the back on many smooth surfaces. However, the length is limited: with 12V systems, the LED strip should be a maximum of eight meters, with 24V systems a maximum of twelve meters.

You use a repeater for longer distances. Models that are already wired are plug-and-play solutions and can be connected particularly quickly.



1. Shorten or lengthen LED strips

You simply cut through the LED strips with scissors. Many manufacturers mark possible interfaces with a scissors symbol or you can recognize the points by three drawn lines. There are quick connectors such as the Slim connect system for connecting two individual LED strips. When connecting two strips, make sure that the polarity is identical.

2. Around the corner

If the LED strip should continue to run around the corner, a contra-angle connector is used. Alternatively, there are LED light strips that can be bent up to an angle of 60 degrees.

3. Connect the LED strips to the power supply unit

Select the power supply unit that matches the LED strips. Both must have the same tension. As a reminder, the calculation: wattage per meter x length of the LED strip. A 12V LED strip with a power consumption of 5 W / m must be 3.8 meters long and connected to a transformer with a capacity of at least 19 W. Think of a recommended performance buffer of 20 percent. Pay attention to the correct polarity when making the connection.

4. Optional: dimmer or controller

With single-color LED strips, you can continuously regulate the brightness with an interposed dimmer. You also connect an LED controller to change the color of RGB LED strips. In the case of RGB LED strips, the connection cable is four-core:



5. The power connection

Now you connect the controller to the power supply unit, if necessary, and the power connection is made. You connect the mostly brown or black outer conductor to the connection terminal L, the blue neutral conductor to the connection N, and the yellow/green protective conductor to the terminal with the protective conductor symbol.

High Bay LED Lights - Always on top!

Image
  High Bay LED Lights are used to illuminate workshops, hangars, warehouses, sports halls, indoor car parks, and other premises. The phrase High Bay in translation from English means "high-rise". These luminaires do an excellent job of lighting in rooms with high ceilings. Thanks to a well-thought-out design, they serve for a long time and without interruption, and the use of LEDs ensures low energy consumption and allows you to significantly save on paying for light bills. The radiator of these luminaires is made of lightweight and durable extruded aluminum. Thanks to its special design, it efficiently removes heat from the LEDs. It is specially designed not to take up much space. This made it possible to reduce the size of the luminaire and make it as compact as possible. A reliable power supply unit guarantees a long service life and the absence of pulsations of the luminous flux harmful to the eyes and human health in High Bay luminaires. The luminous flux is direct

Exterior Pole Mounted Lights - Mast lights as an eye-catcher in the garden

Image
Exterior pole lights are suitable for outdoors - for example on the terrace or the courtyard. Like other outdoor lights, they are wind and weatherproof - they also make paths visible and delimit garden plots. At the same time, the lights can prevent someone from injuring themselves on your property, as you can use them to illuminate obstacles well. Small walls or bollards in the garden or in the driveway can be made visible with outdoor lights. What do you have to consider with outdoor pole lights? If you already have a foundation for your outdoor light - for example a wall, then you simply place the plinth light on it. If you don't have a smooth surface, you can use a pedestal light with a ground spike. The pole light should stay with you outside for a long time. Therefore, when buying a weatherproof model for outside, for example made of stainless steel and with a protection class ( IP ) of 65 or higher. Pole mounted lights with motion detectors can not only help deter b

LED lighting - why you should fully rely on it in terms of lighting technology

Image
Using them is just modern and economically, and of course also environmentally friendly. The world of lighting is inconceivable without LED technology; because it offers so many convincing advantages that nobody can ignore it. With LED you save a lot, because the energy consumption is 90 percent less than with the incandescent lamp. The environment is on your mind? Then rely on the energy-saving lighting solution that works entirely without mercury and, thanks to its long service life, produces little waste No more constantly changing the light source - this is possible with long-life LEDs (up to 50,000 hours service life). Immediately one hundred percent bright - that makes particular sense for lights with motion detectors, but also for all other lights. This is not a problem with LEDs lights. LED lamps are available in different light colors - flexible and suitable for every purpose. Smart lights based on LEDs - and means fun, comfort and safety. How does an LED lamp work?
