How to install LED light strip?

LED light strips are a common type of lighting fixture and decorative building material product, often used in conjunction with other advertising boards. In addition, there are many references for the color and size of this type of LED light strip, and it can also be designed according to our own needs.

LED light strips can be divided into flexible LED light strips and LED hard light strips.Flexible LED light strips use FPC as the assembly circuit board and SMD LEDs for assembly. The characteristics are product thickness, no space occupation, can be cut or extended at will, and can also be bent, folded, and wound. It is suitable for use in irregular places and places with small spaces or for combining various patterns.

LED hard light strips use PCB hard boards as assembly circuit boards. Some are assembled with SMD LEDs, and some are assembled with direct plug-in LEDs. The characteristics are that it is easier to fix, and processing and installation are more convenient, but it cannot be bent at will.

1. Structural composition and installation matters

①. The structure of the LED light strip includes lamp beads, circuit boards, wires, rubber wrapping, resistors and related accessories.

②. LED light strips are generally 100 meters per roll. When purchasing, you should tell the seller in advance how much you need to order according to the length you need. They will generally be cut for you. You need to use several sections at home, each section is equipped with a connector, and you can just plug it into the socket. If you want to cut it yourself, you need to pay attention that the light strip will generally be marked with a special scissor mouth. Cut it at the scissor mouth, connect it, and you can use it. Remember: Be sure to cut it according to the instructions, otherwise it will not light up!

③. The light strip has accessories. The accessories generally include plugs (that is, power supplies), pins (for connection), fixing cards (plastic clips for fixing light strips) and tail plugs (plastic sleeves to protect the tail of the light strip). These accessories are generally delivered by merchants, but you need to negotiate with the merchant first, so as not to be short of them.

According to the actual length of your home, then you can install it, fix it with the LED light strip clip, and finally connect the power supply and the light strip will light up.Avoid excessive twisting or improper installation methods during installation to avoid damaging the light strip and reducing its service life. Make sure the power supply is connected correctly to avoid short circuits or circuit problems‌.
