Led Strip Lights And Their Use What is meant by LED strips/tapes, and what are they used for? LED, as most users today know, refers to the latest technology – as opposed to older options - to produce lighting in our homes, workspaces, and places of entertainment and other leisure environments. LED strips normally consist of individual LED emitters which are mounted on a narrow or fairly thin circuit board to produce lighting for various requirements and purposes. They are offered by retailers in a wide range of colour and brightness options and they can be adjusted to suit the requirements of the user. Even though they may be available in different configurations, they are normally sold as 5-meter tapes on an adhesive backing so you can mount them to the preferred surface, which can then be cut into the sizes you need them in. The individual lights are small, typically 10 to 12 mm and can be cut to suit your needs along the indicated cut lines on the strip.
Different users have different needs for these strips and depending on why you would want to use the strip/tape you will look at issues such as brightness which is determined by the lumens. Therefore one should establish beforehand what brightness you prefer and make that one of the factors when you acquire your strip. These strips are also offered in different colour options. One of the most popular choices of LED strips remains the so-called RGBW option, which refers to Red, Green, Blue, and White LEDs. These can be configured to offer the user a specific combination of lighting options in terms of which the different colours are configured for the best effect, to ensure the colours and different shades are used to light up an area according to the user’s needs for lighting and even for aesthetics. A popular use for these coloured strips is at home, whether for under cabinet lighting, to brighten up a child’s room, or any other area where a special touch may make a lot of difference. They are also often used outside, such as on balconies and verandas, or in the garden, at events where people meet. The RGBW strip is very versatile for use, easy to cut according to the user’s requirements, and easily put up and removed. And, of course, because it is a LED strip, they are much cheaper to use in the long run, since they outlast the older types by many hours. As opposed to, for example, regular white strips, the RGBW option uses all the mentioned colours to create the perfect ambience. These strips offer greater brightness and make a greater statement than a single colour. Also, because they can be configurated in different ways, they offer combinations in hues and light tones that can meet specific demands. The obvious advantage of this LED strip over the traditional RGB strip is using less electricity which, for many users, is a significant factor.
Although both the traditional RGB strip and RGBW strip offer users options, it is mentioned that the latter (which includes White) has certain advantages over the traditional RGB option, such as offering white light that is necessary for, say, task lighting which, without the White, may become an issue. Whichever choice one settles on, it is good to know that both RGB and RGBW strips add a special touch to the space where you install them, be that in your home, in the garden, or at a function, you are planning. LED RGBW strips are becoming increasingly popular over a wide front.
