How to Choose the Right LED Strip Lights
Led Strip Lights
LEDs (Lighting Emitting Diodes) are bright illuminators and energy savers, effective at cutting costs and supporting the environment, popular also for not emitting gas. LED strip lighting options have increased, as many countries are migrating toward LED lighting and the implementation of LED-salient features. LED strip lighting is an innovative and versatile lighting option, usable in almost any application. Selecting an LED strip lighting product depends on the user’s requirements and their area of application. There are a number of factors one should consider before selecting an LED light strip from the market.
Size - Number of LEDs
When selecting a LED light strip for your project, you will consider both the space to be illuminated and the brightness needed for a given application. Brightness depends on the type and quality of the LEDs used as well as the number of LEDs on the strip. LEDs are manufactured for the purpose of facilitating low, mid and high brightness levels. Low brightness LEDs can be utilized for decorative purposes, while mid brightness LEDs are more utilitarian, good for lighting kitchens or bathrooms, and high brightness LEDs, producing a great amount of light, are especially suitable in commercial applications.
Flexibility

Flexible LED strip lights are very easy to install and can be molded in any required shape. They come with self-adhesive tape on the back and can be easily fixed to smooth, clean surfaces. You can even cut the strip into required lengths yourself, no need to hire a professional.
Color Options
LED strip lights can be purchased in a number of constant color options as well as in RGB color changing. Primarily LED strip lights are available in three color temperatures – Warm white, cool white and natural white, these colors are most comparable to standard household lighting colors. LED strip lighting can also be purchased in other constant colors such as blue, red, green or amber. When using a strip of RGB however, an additional spectrum of colors can be created such as Violet, purple, pink, and so forth. Using a color controller, you can produce different colors in accordance with the application, as colors play a role in changing the mood and atmosphere of an area. Adding a dimmer to your application makes controlling the atmosphere of your environment easy.
Voltage
LED strip lights run on very low voltage, usually 12 or 24 volts DC.
