Previously, people did fine without light, they were completely satisfied with everything, but now society can not do without lighting. The farther the process advances, the more demands are made by customers. For example, simple installation, brighter light, a sufficiently long life without problems, safety, as well as cost savings.
LED strip 5050 LED, oddly enough, is ideal for all these parameters. It is safe enough, does not have any threat to the human body. And most importantly - it works for more than 50,000 hours, which is a pretty big advantage. In addition, this type of LED strip is a flexible board, on one side of which there are LEDs that emit light. And the ease of installation and the absence of strong heating during operation is just something unusual and quite interesting for a person.
The paths that conduct current have a base. It, as many people know, has only two colors - white or brown. Also, it should be noted that three LEDs are connected in series, and modules consisting of these three diodes are connected in parallel. All this is contained in one tape, which is mounted on any surface thanks to the adhesive strip located on the other side of the LEDs.
Therefore, such tapes are the most ideal option for modern mankind. After all, for normal lighting in a normal room, not such a long tape will be required.
Types of tapes
As you know, there are two types of tapes - Led (white LEDs), as well as RGB Led (color LEDs). The power of each tape directly depends on the number of LEDs that fall on one meter.
The diodes themselves are also divided into two types - these are SMD and DIP. The first option is much more compact and reliable, it has a fairly large angle of illumination - about 160 degrees. The second option is diodes with a diameter of about 5 millimeters.
In addition, tapes are also divided by security. For use in open spaces, there are silicone tapes that keep LEDs and paths conducting electrical current protected. There is also a degree of protection due to which the tape can work without any problems in any aquatic environment. And to illuminate any decor elements, it is not at all necessary to choose a tape with a high level of protection, since nothing is in danger in such cases.
Application
In the use of LED strips, they have never restricted anyone. You can apply them in such places:
- Room design (lighting of both stretch and false ceilings; lighting of arches; lighting for the floor or throughout the room).
- For outdoor spaces (pools, fountains, building walls, monuments and other architectural elements).
- Cars (interior, trunk, headlights, as well as the bottom).
- Advertising (LED drawings, backlighting for inscriptions, shop windows, contours of advertising stands and billboards).
- Furniture (lighting for cabinets, shelves or elegant decoration for glass doors).
LED strip
Currently 5050 smd LED strips are popular. They are increasingly being paid attention to due to their properties and advantages. The design of this tape is quite interesting. Many jack of all trades have repeatedly tried to change something in her work or just look at this device.
As mentioned above, the LED strip 5050 has a self-adhesive strip where the LEDs are located on the other side. For buyers a considerable choice of colors is provided: multicolor, pure white, as well as ultraviolet ribbon. The angle of light emission is 120 degrees. The most important thing in this LED strip is the presence of a high level of protection. That is, it is perfectly protected from penetration of dust or liquid, which can damage the work.
This type of tape is most often used as an addition to the interior. For example, it can be both the main backlight and the usual backlight for the scenery. Due to the degree of protection, many companies and firms use it to illuminate advertising stands or billboards. Also, the tape will work well when illuminated in a garden or park.
Among other things, LED modules are actually universal. That is, their versatility lies in the fact that you can use LEDs both with the housing and in the open. For example, the tape can be easily inserted into any design, which will further decorate the interior and make this thing more unusual.
Lighting options
Few people know that the abbreviation smd, translated from English, means "what is mounted on the surface." All the numbers that appear in the name mean nothing other than the size of the chip. That is, 5050 is 50x50 micrometers. 5050 LED strip has a slight advantage over other models - it shines about 3 times brighter, since there are as many as 3 crystals on the chip.
The colors emitted by LEDs are directly dependent on the type of crystal. Today, there are 4 primary colors that experienced craftsmen are used to combining. Among them are blue, yellow, green and red.
Tape 5050 60
Most people are attracted to the 5050 60 LED strip, which is not at all surprising. After all, the LEDs in it have a sufficiently high power, thanks to which the tape can be used in order to get a good and bright backlight.
Another advantage is the fact that you can use it both inside the house or apartment, and on the street. For lighting ceilings, various interior elements, bar counters and furniture, this option is ideal. A street stands, billboards and wheels of any vehicle (car, skateboard, segway or even a scooter) at night, the tape 5050 60 will beautifully and originally illuminate.
Among other things, attention should also be paid to safety and low heat generation. From these advantages, it follows that the tape can be attached to an aquarium with live fish or to a pot of plants, and then enjoy the color backlight.
A fairly flexible base makes it possible to stick the tape to any surface. For designers and fans to dream about the interior of the room, this option is perfect.
Characteristics of the tape 5050 60
The smd 5050 60 LED strip has special features that attract customer attention. After all, when choosing a backlight for a particular subject, you should carefully study the model and find the most suitable for yourself. General characteristics of this LED strip:
- SMD 5050 LEDs
- there are exactly 60 LEDs per meter;
- operates at a voltage of 12 volts ;
- high brightness level (1000-3500 mcd);
- a varied selection of colors - white, yellow, blue, as well as green and red;
- LEDs emit light at an angle of 120 degrees;
- It functions flawlessly at temperatures from -40 to +80 degrees;
- segment - 50 mm (exactly 3 LEDs).
LED strip LED 5050 RGB
This tape, like all of the above, is attached to any surface using double-sided tape. The developers of this model did not stint on a really good mount, so such an adhesive tape will be very difficult to tear off. In total, there are 300 LEDs in the tape (which is exactly 5 meters in length), which can easily be divided into several parts and used to illuminate a wider room.
The tape, unfortunately, does not have moisture protection, therefore, for use on the street or in rooms with excessive humidity, tight protection should be used. But most often people find her a place in the car or in small rooms, decorating and complementing the interior. It works with a voltage of 12 volts and a power of 72 watts (for the entire tape).
LED strip benefits
Oddly enough, LED strips have a lot of advantages, due to which they are quite popular. The main advantages are:
- minimum waste of electricity;
- instant ignition;
- practically no heat transfer;
- excellent light output;
- can function without problems at a sufficiently low or high temperature;
- the service life is quite large.
It is these advantages that allow ribbons to always find buyers. After all, the economy and safety of each person is above all.
