LED strips are an amazingly flexible and energy-efficient way of lighting that has found widespread use in home decor, room lighting, building architecture, the television industry, and many other fields. In this article, we look at the different types of LED strips to help you choose the perfect option for your lighting and decoration needs.

Our showroom has a wide selection of all types of LED tapes, which can be seen on the stands. Come to us for an in-depth consultation and we will gladly choose the option that suits you!

So, LED strips differ in the following main features:

• Voltage

• Power (W/m) /number of diodes

• Colour

• Protection class (IP)

Let's take a closer look at these parameters.

Voltage

Most LED strips run on 12V or 24V. These are low voltage systems that ensure safe use and minimize the risk of electric shock. Such systems are ideal for home decoration, automotive lighting, commercial signage and more. Their operation requires a transformer, which is selected according to the length of the strip, its voltage and power.

Much less often, 230 V bands are used in projects. They are less durable and safe, and more difficult to cut and join. As a rule, this type of strip is chosen for lighting facades and other street lighting solutions.

Power (W/m) / number LED

There are a huge number of LED strip capacities. Typically, power is closely related to the number of LEDs per linear meter - the more, the higher. When choosing a capacity, it is important to consider the specific needs of your project. More powerful strips may be required for general lighting, less powerful options may be suitable for decorative use or backlighting.

Color

The following types of bands are distinguished by color:

Protection class (IP)

There are quite a few protection classes for LED strips depending on the manufacturer, but let's look at the three main ones.

IP65 - have a silicone protective layer that covers the LEDs and protects them from mechanical damage. Many sources write that they are suitable for humid rooms, but we do not recommend using them in humid environments, because the protective layer is only on the diodes, but not on the metal plate, which can quickly deteriorate due to the influence of humidity.

Hundreds of profiles of all shapes and sizes are available in our showroom and on our website.

Specialized LED strips

There are several types of bands that have special properties that we would like to pay special attention to.

Neon strips are analogous to old neon tubes. Used to create drawings and labels.

We wrote more about it in this article

In this article, we looked at the variety of LED strips. Each of these types has its own unique characteristics and advantages that can be crucial in choosing the right option for a lighting or interior design project.

Thanks to their flexibility, energy efficiency and versatility, LED strip lights are becoming an increasingly popular choice for lighting homes, offices, shops and other indoor spaces. They allow you to create bright and creative interiors, using energy efficiently and providing long-lasting and reliable lighting.

When choosing an LED strip, it is important to consider the specific needs and goals of your project and the characteristics of each strip type. We hope our overview of the different types of LED strips will help you make an informed decision and create great lighting or interior design that you can enjoy for years to come.
