High voltage light strip
advantage:
This is one of the most common light strips. It is cheap and has many specifications.
There are so many single-row, double-row, three-row, 5050, and 2835 lamp bead models.
It is nothing more than the difference in brightness and size.
shortcoming:
This thing needs to be electrified, so it is usually used in places where the ceiling lamp is not easy to reach, and it can be used safely with the plug on the ceiling
Low voltage light strip
Needless to say, the specifications and models are similar to those of high-voltage light belts. In terms of uses, they are much more extensive, so let’s talk about their advantages for now.
1) Now most of the low-voltage light strips are driven by 24V safety voltage, and it’s okay to hold them in your mouth (don’t really hold them), whether it’s ceilings, walls, cabinets, laminates, or floors, etc. can be used.
2) The low-voltage lamps are equipped with drip glue, and those with rubber sleeves can be waterproof, so they can also be used in the bathroom. There are also bare strips with adhesive backing, which are mostly used with profiles.
3) The power range is wide, and the common ones can be bought from 4W-20W, because the light efficiency difference of low-voltage light strips is particularly large, the low light efficiency may be 60, and the high light efficiency may be 120, so there is not much reference point to talk about the power alone. , The power we are talking about is usually around 80 according to the conventional light effect.
4) The cutting unit is small, usually 5-10cm as a cutting unit, which is more practical.
Talk about the so-called disadvantages:
1) Expensive, much more expensive than high-voltage light strips, not only the lights are expensive, but also the accessories are also expensive, mainly the power supply, any 100W power supply is tens or hundreds of times larger, generally speaking, each section needs a power supply , which is not a small expense.
2) It’s easy to be tricked, forget it, let me take a picture, I hope that from this picture, I can not only see the profile problem, understand what I mean?
In fact, in many places, you can just buy rubber sleeves directly. The merchants will generally recommend you bare strips + profiles, and profiles are often more expensive than light strips. The unit price will naturally go up. Do you know what I mean? I saved you money again, so I don’t like it.
Of course, some places are not easy to construct, and it is necessary to add profiles, which is not often the case.
Give a little hint:
Generally speaking, the brightness of the light strips on the ceiling is significantly higher than that of the middle and low light strips, which is more reasonable. For example, the ceiling light strips use 10w/m, and the cabinets and TV walls usually use 5-6W. (Except for functional lighting, not absolute)
In terms of light color
1) Conventional color temperature, 2700-6500K, including toning.
2) RGB or RGB+regular color temperature
The light strip with adjustable color temperature and brightness is more practical in the center, which is what we often call a smart light strip, which can be adjusted to the most suitable brightness according to our own needs, and is more suitable for the needs of scene linkage.
And RGB is usually used for Huacai light. In plain English, it means colorful light. It is suitable for e-sports, occasional hilarity, and couples to create some atmosphere. Whether it is suitable or not depends on individual needs.

4) Wi-Fi protocol, which is the lowest stepping stone for intelligence. As long as there is a router, it can realize networking without any other equipment. Of course, the disadvantages are also obvious. If the network is disconnected, it will stop working. It is recommended to use Philips Zhiyi light belt, which has lighting Version WIZ, conventional two-color temperature is optional, easy to link with other devices, and the price of two-color temperature is also very affordable.
From the quality of the light source
Although the color rendering index of 80 is sufficient, there are many users who have high pursuit of light source and light health. We recommend full-spectrum light strips.
