Why LED light strips lead the way in the lighting industry?

LED light strips, including LED hard strip lights and LED flexible tape lights, have become more and more important in the field of modern lighting. From the appearance point of view, LED strips are ultra-thin, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and have a wide range of uses. It has been recognized by more and more consumers and has developed very well in the field of lighting.

LED strip lights

The application of LED strip lights are very wide, from the home field to the office field to some special lighting fields, we can develop it. Nowadays, the market share of LED light strips in the LED lighting industry is really big. We can understand why LED strip lights can occupy such a huge market share from the following aspects:

Firstly, the LED light strips have taken the place of the traditional commercial lighting. Thanks to the variety and multi-function, LED light strips have replaced most of the market share of traditional fluorescent lights and energy-saving lights. Of course, strip lights manufacturers are still developing and producing new products with more functions.

Secondly, the products are becoming more and more popular. In fact, the applications of LED light strips have become blurred, some products are no longer limited to high-end commercial places, especially the LED tape lights, which are widely used as the personal decorative lighting in houses, gardens, etc.

Thirdly, the development cost continues to decrease. Since 2010, the patent of LED chip technology gradually thawed and the price of LED chip gradually decrease. As far as LED strip suppliers are concerned, it is beneficial to the development of products and markets. At that time, the LED market can further reduce the production cost through large-scale production.

Through the above analysis, we can know that the LED strip lights will become more and more popular in the future, and its stability will be further improved.

Five external factors that affect the service life of LED lights

LEDs are widely used in every lighting industries because of their energy saving, long lifespan, and environmentally friendly. However, there are 5 external factors will shorten their service life.

1. Drive current: The rated voltage and rated current of the LED lights are unchangeable. Therefore, there are different sizes of LED power supplies on the market, and the most common are 12V and 24V DC drive power supplies. For most of the constant voltage LED tape lights currently on the market, the output voltage and power of the power supply must be appropriate, otherwise, it may reduce the life or even damage the LED lights.

2. Corrosive environment: In some areas with serious pollution or in some chemical manufacturing plants, it is best to use LED lamps with protective devices to avoid damage caused by contact with corrosive materials.

3. Operating temperature: The temperature will affect the light decay and service life of the LED. Generally, LED lights are used at temperatures ranging from -20 ° C to 65 ° C. Excessively high or low temperatures will affect the work of lights. In order to avoid the light decay that caused by high temperature, it normally increases the heat dissipation area or installs the active heat sinks.

4. External force: During installation or use, the collision of hard objects or sharp objects will cause the LED to be damaged or even completely destroyed. Therefore, the LED light should be installed as far as possible in a place that is difficult to reach.

5. Humid environment: Whether it is production, storage or use, the LED should be avoided in a humid environment, because the moisture can easily cause the LED to be wet and the short circuit.

These are the five major external factors that affect the life of LED lights. If you have other questions about LED lighting, please feel free to contact us. We are a manufacturer of LED lights in China, specializing in the production of LED light strips and LED plant lights.
