In the marketplace and on the web, many people sometimes asking why the LED strips' brightness is lower, the lifetime is shorter in the abnormal range than the theoretical value provided by the supplier. There are various causes of this condition, apart from some dishonest businesses sell seconds at best quality prices, the incorrect use is the major factor. Therefore, it is necessary to pay our attention to numerous issues during install for the LED lights.
Firstly, the wiring way of LED light strips. The most of LED light bars are adopt input voltage of DC12V or DC24V, which must be powered by the matching power supply. The total power must be greater than the sum of the connected LED lights. The wiring of the LED tapes needs to be correctly welded by anode and cathode. Commonly, LED light strips producers will clearly mark the anode (+) and cathode (-) beside the bonding pad as well as solder the wires in one end or both ends. Furthermore, if you want to save money on the power supply, there is a cost-effective choice that you can parallel connect the LED strips, and just need a matched high power supply.The second thing is the connection of the controller. RGB LED lights need to connect with the controller to realize various lighting effects. The three chips in the RGB LED usually share one positive pole, so the RGB LED tapes to have one "+" bonding pad and three "-" bonding pads. Different controllers have different control distance. The farthest distance of ordinary controller is 10 to 15 meters, some better controllers are about 20 meters and the best's remote distance up to 30 meters.
Last but not least, the total length of the LED strips. In most cases, we suggest a parallel connection, for the overlong series connection length, will case the brightness reducing and excess temperature. LED lights' working lifetime will be dramatically reduced in the excessive temperature condition.
Consequently, at the time of installation, we must follow the relevant instructions and requirements.
