Malio lighting analysis: multi-faceted advantage of LED lighting


With respect to the LED lighting, incandescent bulbs emitting rate of only 5% , and the remaining 95% is converted to heat consumption . And environmentally friendly energy-saving LED lights only turn on the lights when the luminous efficiency , long life , and can also save 90 % power , and more importantly, it does not contain mercury and other toxic substances.

In addition to the right place , the will of the people more determined development of LED lights . Recently, National Development and Reform Commission , Ministry of Science jointly issued the latest " semiconductor lighting energy industry planning ." "Plan " shows that in 2015 , 60W incandescent lamp for general lighting above all eliminated, the market share will drop to below 10% ; energy-saving lamps and other traditional energy efficient lighting products market share stable at around 70% ; LED functional lighting products market share of 20 % or more. The "plan " introduced , so that LED lights with incandescent and other traditional lighting Commander , he also win the first chip.

Extensive use of LED lights

Edison invented the incandescent lamp, lit a long night in a bright , ushering in the history of home lighting . For a long time , incandescent lighting has been playing the role of light . But in 1962, the U.S. General Electric developed the world's first a red LED, 70 's, green, yellow and orange LED succession appeared in the 1980s , the development of new materials GaAlAs , so that the red LED light efficiency of 10 Lm / W, until 1993 Nichia blue LED inputs contributed to the emergence of natural red, yellow , and blue gathered . This represents the outside except incandescent , LED lights can also take on the function , and also applied to a wider range of fields.

Currently, LED is mainly used for information display billboards, traffic lights, traffic signs , commercial lighting, lamps and other lighting and general lighting as well as military medical surgical lights and wisdom lighting. As technology advances and the development of social trends , people still want to give fashion and art LED lights , while fluorescent and incandescent lamps in this area is unmatched .

From fashion and art look to the future development of LED lights

From the perspective of fashion and art , LED lamps also have a greater advantage. LED lamps before is because the color rendering index is low , a lot of places do not use LED lamps , and now color rendering index LED lights is not a problem , but using a solid-state light source , better able to make a fashionable and beautiful look.

Observant people will notice , and now the brand clothing stores, shoe stores, jewelry stores, shopping malls and some bars restaurants, day and night , are so magnificent, even as the daily use of lamps, also joined the art LED lights, which can not but thanks to the clever use of LED lights . More exaggerated , in a fashion clothing store owner to ask the store LED lighting design , he was thrown directly "Now is not selling clothes, light " point of view .
Of course, in the performance when fashion and art items , LED lights has advantages over traditional lighting is also more flexible, but improper use can also cause light pollution , so this point is the designer should consider when in use . However, in the flooded fashion and culture today.

Malio lighting analysis LED lights design applications that is clearly superior than traditional lighting , but also the future development trend of the trend.

Introduction LED strip specifications


A, LED Size: 0603,0805,1210,5050 refers LED strip use light-emitting components bring - LED 's size ( inch / metric ) ,

        The following is a detailed description of these specifications :

0603 : conversion to metric is 1005 , it means that the length of the LED assembly is 1.0mm, the width is 0.5mm. Industry referred to 1005 , it is called Inch 0603 .

0805 : conversion to metric is 2125 , it means that the length of the LED assembly is 2.0mm, the width is 1.25mm. Industry referred to 2125, it is called Inch 0805 .

1210 : conversion to metric is 3528 , it means that the length of the LED assembly is 3.5mm, the width is 2.8mm. Industry referred to 3528 , it is called Inch 1210 .

5050 : This is a metric called, it means that the length of the LED assembly is 5.0mm, the width is 5.0mm. Industry referred to 5050 .

Second, LED lights: 15 lights, 30 lights , 60 LED lights, LED strip is per meter length of the number of pieces of LED components soldered , generally 1210 specifications lights per meter 60 LED, 5050 Specification lights per m 30 LED, there is a special per meter 60 LED. Different number of LED strip prices are different , and this is the price of LED strip distinction is an important factor .

Third, the color temperature : refers to a standard blackbody heating, the temperature rises to a certain extent, starting from the dark red color - light red - orange - white - blue , gradually changing the color of a black body light source and the same , then we will blackbody the absolute temperature is called the color temperature of the light source . Color is not a general assessment of LED strip an indicator , but many foreign customers because the use of the environment, will make a special request . Different color temperature light source , the light color is also different :

Color temperature below 3300K , the light red color cast give a warm feeling ; has solid atmosphere , warm feeling , known as Warm .

Color temperature 3000-6000K is the middle man in this particular hue under no obvious visual psychological effects, there is a refreshing feeling ; so called "neutral" color temperature.

Color temperature exceeds 6000K, light color blue , gives a cool feeling, known as cold color temperature.

Fourth, Brightness : cd ( candela )

The basic unit of luminous intensity , candela is the basic unit of the International System of Units one .

General LED strip different colors have different luminous intensity , commonly used unit is mcd, ie milli candela . The higher the value , the larger the light-emitting intensity , which is brighter. This is the assessment of the brightness of LED lights with important indicator lights with higher brightness requirements more expensive price . This is because the high-brightness LED chip prices expensive , and the brightness is higher, the greater the difficulty package .

Five. Angle:

This refers to the LED strip emitting angle to bring LED components , general use SMD LED, SMD components that are emitting angle of 120 degrees . Emitting angle increases, since astigmatism better, but relative, whose luminous intensity was correspondingly reduced. Viewing angle is small, light intensity is up, but the exposure range will shrink. Therefore, the assessment of LED lights with another important indicator is the light angle . There are now some unscrupulous manufacturers, in order to improve the brightness of light in order to earn higher profits, deliberately light angle decreases, the slightest mistake , they will buy such shoddy components.

Six , voltage: This refers to the input voltage LED strip , commonly used specification is a DC 12V, also some 24V.

Determine the price of LED Strip Light nine major factors


      LED Size: different size specifications of the LED prices are different. As 0603 LED 3528 LED(1210 LED) that the price difference between the larger its; while 1210 and 5050 specifications of the LED prices will differ by one level. LED Strip Light purchasing, do not just focus on price. Should be from the following aspects to comprehensive assessment, in order to buy inexpensive LED Strip Light.

        LED Strip Light used in chip: chip has domestic and Taiwan chip and chip imports (including the United States chips, Japanese chip, Germany chips). Different chips, prices vary widely. Currently the most expensive American chips, followed by Japan and Germany, chip chip, the lowest price of the Taiwan chip, thermal performance slightly worse. Specific uses what chip? To what kind of effect? Before you buy first knew it.

        LED package: sub silicone resin encapsulation and packaging. Resin package price should be cheaper. Others are the same. Silicone encapsulated heat dissipation, so the price is slightly more expensive than the resin package that.

        LED color consistency: At present, there are many packaging factory. There are thousands of large and small, add up, of course, the strength of the strong and weak points. There are many small packaging plant because there is no color separation machine, so regardless of light or color separations, or is outward, so that it is difficult for quality assurance. Spectral separation of the LED without its color consistency is poor, bring lit LED Strip light installed in the rear of the effect is not so good, of course, also the price difference is relatively large.

        LED welding effect: LED strip light the assembly of two kinds of hand soldering and welding machines. Hand soldering iron is used, using the most primitive methods for welding. Such practices into the product first appearance of unsightly (spot size is inconsistent Fuzhou LED electronic display) two electrostatic maintenance measures are not good, a lot of the LED chip is the breakdown, resulting in micro-light when powered on or off phenomenon. With reflow soldering machine for welding, soldering machine is not the same. The products not only look beautiful after welding (spot the same size, joints smooth, no flux residue, LED packaging intact) and will not appear burned chip is static phenomenon. Meanwhile, LED position and orientation are more beautiful. This can be seen directly from the appearance.

        FPC Material: FPC sub-rolled copper and copper two kinds. Bonded cheaper, rolled copper expensive. Bonded Copper pads come off easily when bent, and rolled copper will not. Specific use depends on what kind of material FPC sell themselves to make a decision based on the environment.

        FPC whether through environmental certification, UL certification? LED without patents. Not inexpensive. There are certified and patented more expensive.

        LED Brightness: Different brightness LED prices are different. Normal brightness and brightness of the LED price difference compared poor. Therefore, the time of purchase must clearly know what they need brightness, such talent accurate positioning their products.

        LED color: different color. Price is not the same. Red, green color and the color separation as more difficult, so the price is higher than the price of other colors high; red, yellow, blue and other colors spectrophotocolorimeter relatively easy, and the consistency is better, so the price is slightly cheaper. Special colors such as purple, brown and other colors reasons because its price is the most expensive.

How to buy LED Strip for home decoration


First, note that interior decoration usually selected round 2-wire, flat 3-wire, flat 4-wire LED rainbow tube, so why should we in the home decoration, we recommend you choose LED Strip as decoration light it? Reasons are the following:

1, soft, can be the same as the wire is curled,

2, can be cut and connected

3, the light bulb and the circuit is completely encapsulated in a flexible plastic, insulation, waterproof performance, the use of safety

4, strong weather resistance -20-50 ℃, 5, easy to break, long life, life of up to 80,000 - 100,000 hours

6, easy to produce graphics, text and other shapes;

7, rich colors, color effects and beautiful blue, white, green, yellow, red, orange, warm white, red and blue, purple, colorful.

8, Green & energy, cold light, glare is small. No radiation, no mercury elements, does not emit harmful substances.

9, easy installation. Widely used in home decoration ceiling, light trough.

10, solid color LED strip: current LED strip in red, yellow, blue, green, white and warm white six kinds. Since the value of the light source itself is different, so a variety of colors LED strip' price is different, its rules are the same number of lines and 

lights as LED strip, red and yellow is the lowest price, a little more expensive of blue, green a little more expensive than the blue and white, warm white the most expensive.

Next, introduce a few of the more common devices explanation: color LED strip: As six color of LED for LED strip, so the color is composed of different color LED combination. There are red, yellow, blue and green one kind among second-tier and 

third-tier red and blue kind of four lines are red, yellow, blue and red, green and blue two kinds.

LED strip controller: includes transformers, roughly divided into gradients and transitions, generally used colored LED strip. Access different LED strip controller allows the LED strip different colors according to the law constantly changes, and get 

different lighting effects.

Home decoration LED strip selecting the most important is the choice of colors:

Color choice: should say everyone has his hobby, not stereotyped. But can give you some advice, oh, the general said the ceiling is usually white and other light colors, according to the use of the room, the living room is generally used mostly 

yellow blue, yellow, giving a warm natural feeling, especially in the cold winter, better understand the to. Blue can make your room more explicit, more far-reaching, more content. If you want to festive points, red is a good choice, oh. Other red and 

blue color of the lights, if coupled with the controller, which was action-packed, more to experience the modern romantic atmosphere, huh. Restaurants should use yellow is appropriate. Study, children's room should use yellow color. A room in a 

tone as well.

Concluded that under the LED strip wholesale purchase Note: Prior to choose the color and quantity lot longer, with lights should be avoided convergence. Avoid unnecessary waste.

Lights in meters calculated. That every one meter or two meters of a unit cell can not be cropped. As lights with this feature, so the measurement of LED strip usage, please note that you want to select the entire whole meter or a length of 2 m. One 

unit mark scissors mouth. Please be sure to mark the top of the mouth with scissors cutting accuracy.

LED strip power is very small, about 3-5W / m, so the ratio T4/T5 to energy efficient and more able to adapt to different ceiling shapes.

Round LED strip with brightness than the flat is small, but the price is cheap, you buy time to think clearly.

Share the basic knowledge of LED Strip


Malio Lighting comments that LED strip is named  LED Strip, LED rope, LED flexible strip, LED strip light. Although it is called inconsistent, but they are referring to the same kind of products, consumers who do not because they are friends of different names generated doubts.

LED Strip mean refers to the strip of LED assembly in FPC (flexible printed circuit board) or PCB hard board, their general model about 3528,3020,5050 wait so several common types.

Not familiar with LED Strip a friend a few numbers above may not understand the meaning, it refers to other LED Strip bring the size of the LED. 1210: conversion to metric is 3528, it means that the length of the LED element is 3.5mm, the width is 

2.8mm. Industry referred 3528.5050: This is the metric is called, it means that the length of LED components 5.0mm, the width is 5.0mm. Industry referred to 5050.

The quantity of LED for LED Strip: 30 LED, 48 LED, 60 LED, 120 LED is LED strip per meter length of weld how many pieces of LED components, generally 1210 specifications lights per meter 60 LED, 5050 Specifications lights per meter 30 LED, 

there is a special per meter 60 LED.

LED Strip with a color temperature: refers to a standard blackbody heating, the temperature rises to a certain extent, starting from the dark red color - light red - orange - white - blue, gradually changing the color of a black body light source and the 

same, we will - the absolute temperature of the blackbody is called the color temperature of the light source. LED Strip warm white color temperature is generally divided into (2200K-3500K or so), white (4000K-6000K or so), cool white (6500K or 

more) of several different races are not the same color temperature adaptability, such as Europe and the United States people prefer cool white warm LED Strip.

LED Strip with prices affect the main factors: LED Strip with the price depends on the materials used and the production process, such as the use of the LED chips, LED glue, LED welding technology and so on.

LED Strip on the market with a price disparities, consumers in the purchase price is not blind to distinguish the product from the good and bad. Take waterproof, although not waterproof waterproof product than the price to be high, but if household 

words, can choose not waterproof LED Strip, so right product is the best choice.

The Proper Way of Using LED Strip Lights


Malio Lighting said that as a new generation of lighting tools, LED strip lights have made great efforts to convenient our life. They are not only energy saving, but they are much greener than other lighting tools. But when we enjoy the convenience of LED strip lights 

bring to us, we also have to pay attention to the proper way of using LED strip lights
Requirements for LED strip are dependant in different requirements for different occasions and different LED products. For example, if we put the LED lights jewelry counter in a large shopping market, we will have to enhance the brightness. After 

all, the higher light they are, the more attractive they are. And for decoration, there are two kinds of products of lighting, the LED neon lights and LED string light.
The ability of Antistatic: the much stronger antistatic ability they has, the much longer service life they can enjoy , but the price will be higher. Usually, the best antistatic is at  700 V above.
If the wavelength and color temperature of LED strip lights is consistent, their color will be consistent as well, the mass combined lights and lanterns are particularly important. What’ more, the same lights don't produce too much inside off color. 
The leakage current is the current of when led reverse conductive. So we suggest you use the LED strip with small leakage current small bit of LED products.
The ability of Waterproof, the requirement for Waterproof ability is same no matter in the indoors or outdoor.
The size of LED chip  also decided  the quality and brightness of LED strip lights, thus, we'd better choose a larger chip, but the price also have a difference.
LED strip lights adopt the high thermal conductivity 6063 aluminum, the appearance of them is high-grade beautifully, and the light source use the import purui chip 5050 patch LED. They are widely used in jewelry display, house villa lighting, 

market, hotel, office building and leisure place. It is the ideal replacement to instead of traditional fluorescent tubes ideal lamps.

Buy LED Strip lighting should pay attention


1, on the brightness requirements vary for different occasions and different products on the LED brightness requirements are also different. Such as LED Strip lighting jewelry counter if placed in a number of large shopping malls, we will have a number of attractive, high brightness, and the same is also divided into decorative LED spotlights and LED colorful lights with various products.

2, antistatic ability: antistatic ability antistatic ability of the LED, long life, but the price will be higher. Typically antistatic preferably higher than 700V or more.

3, the same wavelength and color temperature of the LED, the color will be the same, with the combination of lamps large quantities of particular importance. Lamps with a color which do not have much.

4, LED reverse leakage current is the current conductor, we recommend using a smaller leakage current of LED products.

5, waterproof, for outdoor and indoor LED Strip lighting requirements are not the same.

6, LED emitting angle of the LED lamps great impact, requires a great deal of different lamps, like LED fluorescent intensity discharge we recommend 140-170. Others we do not explain in detail here.

7, LED chip determines the core quality LED, LED chip brand a lot, some foreign brands (such as CREE, Nichia, etc.), but also China Taiwan's (such as Canton Ga, wafer, etc.). Price difference between different brands is also very far.

8, LED chip size also determines the quality and brightness of the LED, we choose, they also try to choose a bigger chips, but the price difference.

How to choose & install LED Strip


Pay attention for buying LED strip:

        LED strip can now be regarded as an indispensable decoration lighting products, need to pay attention when buying 6:00 elements. Because the production of LED strip with low threshold, many factories and workshops have this project, resulting in LED strip with market was mixed, product quality is uneven. No relevant knowledge and experience easily deceived buy inferior lights. But there are experienced people still have a way to identify, formal manufacturers to produce LED strip and LED strip with cottage version (referring to manual operation in the rental depends on the products produced) is from the appearance of a watch out. Here we talk about how to identify with the eyes The quality of LED strip:

        1, see the solder joints. Regular LED strip with manufacturers to produce LED strip is the use of SMT chip technology, solder paste and reflow processes and production. Therefore, LED strip bring the amount of solder joints is smooth and no more, solder pads of an arc from the FPC to the LED electrodes extend. The cottage version of LED strip with the amount of solder joints uniform, mostly a dot wrap welding foot, while there will be varying degrees of icicles appear, this is a typical phenomenon manual welding.

        2, see FPC quality. FPC of two kinds of copper and rolled copper, copper clad copper foil is protruding, look it from the junction of the FPC pads look out. And rolled copper is close and FPC as a single entity, and can be bent and will not appear pad off phenomenon. Bonded Copper pad will appear if bent too much off, when the temperature is too high maintenance can also cause pad off.

        3, see LED lamp with surface cleanliness. If using SMT technology, the LED strip, the surface cleanliness is very good, do not see any impurities and stains. However, if using hand welding process produces LED strip with cottage version, no matter how clean the surface, there will be residual traces of stains and cleaning, while the surface of the FPC will have residual flux and dross.

        4, look at the packaging. Regular LED strip will use anti-static packaging paper trays, usually 5 m or 10 m roll of a roll, and then outside and then using anti-static moisture-proof bag sealed. The cottage version of the LED strip because of cost savings, while the use of recycled paper trays, then no anti-static moisture-proof bags, paper trays look carefully can see appearance of a clear label traces and scratches.

        5, look at the label. Regular LED strip with bags and roll material above the disk will have a printed label, instead of printing labels. The cottage version of the label is printed, while specifications and parameters are not unified.

        6, see annex. Regular LED strip inside of the box will be attached instructions and lights with specifications, while also equipped with LED strip with connectors or deck; while the cottage version of the LED strip inside the box there is no such attachment because Some manufacturers, after all, could save the province.

How To Choose Led Flexible Strip


LED Flexible strip, ribbons or tapes have become one of the most popular LED products available at the market. They did not only replace incandescent ribbons, but some of the fluorescent tubes as well, and definitely gave endless options for advertisements and decoration of bars, hotels, and other public places. With the fast development of the LED technology, they are now available in very bright versions too, allowing users to apply it as task, or in rare cases, even as a main source of lighting. Their application is popular both in home and commercial use, therefore we collected the main characteristics of strip lights consumers need to consider if they want to make the right choice.
Depending on our purposes the following features may help us decide what we have to apply.
1. The size or type of LED included 
2. The number of LEDs within a metre of the strip 
3. The colours or colour temperature of the LEDs 
4. The flexibility of the strip 
5. The direction of LEDs on the strip 
6. Carrying capacity - heavy duty 
7. IP rating 
8. Voltage 
9. Dimmers and controllers
Of all the determining factors mentioned above, the most important is probably the type and size of the LED included, both of which determine its brightness or performance. This difference has already been discussed in one of our previous articles: how the performance of different LED technologies (low power, SMD power and high power) ranges, as well as the size of the diodes. Obviously, the more recent the technology of the LED is, and the bigger its size is, the brighter it will be.
Another determining factor of the performance is of course the number of LEDs in the strip within a metre for instance. The higher this number is, the brighter the strip is, though extremely high numbers within a metre often require special technologies, like double width strips - where the LED are placed not just one after the other but in two or three rows next to each other. With strips including a high number of LED always check their arrangement, because LEDs placed too close to each other may emit too much heat and radically shorten the lifespan of the strip.
The color range of the LED is now endless, since any color can be created with RGB technique. There are generally two or three shades of white available: bright or cold white - the bluish, really bright version of white, the warm white - which is rather yellowish like the sun, and the natural white - which is a combination of the two in various degrees. The temperature of the white colour is measured in Kelvin, and the higher color temperatures (from about 5000 K) are the cold, or bluish whites and the lower ones (2700 - 3000 K) are the warmer white colours.
Single color LEDs are available in almost all colors now, but the RGB LED strips can also emit a large variety of colors. RGB strips need a controller to operate, and decide whether the color of the strip should be one constant color, or should change along with setting the pace of change. Special pixel RGB strips are able to change the color in a row, creating a run-down effect. The variety of color changes of the RGB strip largely depends on the knowledge of the controller too.
The flexibility of the LED strips can be a determining factor in their application. Rigid strips are perfect for replacing fluorescent tubes for instance, though there is hardly anything you would not be able to do with a flexible strip either. On flat surfaces it is sometimes easier to work with rigid strips, though applied on ceilings or walls - I guess many of you have come across this problem before - what appears to be flat for the eye is far from straight once examined with a spirit level. So, flexibility is more often a grace than a burden. Strips are usually flexible to one dimension only, which is exactly she the direction of the LEDs can be significant. The most common types of strips have LEDs lighting upwards, so if for instance if you wish to enlighten a wheel you have to look for side-mounted or side-view strips to be able to shape them the right direction.
The carrying capacity of strips is generally very low. Heavy-duty strip lights are not usually sold for home use, but much rather for commercial use on ships and in factories for instance. In home use, where carrying capacity matters - on an edge of a stair for instance - the use of profiles is the common solution.
The IP rating of strips or any electric goods is made up of two numbers, indicating the degree of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures.
If you are planning to install strip lights at wet or humid places, outdoors, or maybe even under water, then your items need to be partially or completely waterproof. 100% waterproof items have the IP rating of 68.
The Voltage of LED flexible strip should always be checked before application. Strips running at mains are often used, but most of the LED strips require a transformer, since they run at low voltage (usually 12 or 24 V). If your strips need a transformer, make sure it is suitable for LEDs, because electric transformers most of the time ruin LEDs.
The variety of moods or atmospheres that can be created with strip lights is incredibly large and a lot depends on the accessories you use with them, like dimmers or controllers. Although the largest variety of RGB effects are created with panels, where there is no limit to the effects used other than our imagination, there is a lot you can do with strips too, applying complex controllers, like the DMX, allowing you to set the rhythm of color change to music. Dimming is always simply attainable, though most strips require a dimmer specifically manufactured for LEDs.

LED lamp bead core competitiveness of enterprises breakthrough: Innovation


LED lamp product homogeneity is more serious, how many companies come to the fore? If the industry reshuffle intense developmental environment to survive? LED packaging company executives probably are vigilant, LED packaging industry reshuffle intense degree of downstream enterprises to pale compared to much, but it does not mean that this situation will continue for a long time, but the downstream shuffle has accelerated the middle of the wash brand pace. So, pay attention to innovation or innovation is not aware of the importance of the new LED packaging company, now we have to take action.

Innovative single body but can also be a combination of many, and LED packaging companies to focus more on technological innovation, technological innovation and the need to follow the market demand. Many LED packaging companies did not really sense of the R & D team, a lot of LED lamp development team are just built on the basis of imitation, which is leading LED lamp product homogeneity serious underlying causes. Enterprises in order to enhance the core competitiveness, innovation as the breakthrough point, the conditions that are necessary? The first is the development of elite talent, in order to cultivate the best formula and the introduction of the formula; Second, capital, R & D team to develop new products and new technologies need to spend money can not be less; Finally is the equipment, sophisticated equipment is a powerful R & D personnel assistant.

Affect the life of LED strip lights four major factors:


Affect the life of LED strip lights four major factors:

1. LED is an electrostatic-sensitive components, if the repair is not done LED strip lights with anti-static measures, it will burn out LED, resulting in waste. Of course, LED strip lights with life can not be guaranteed friends.

2. LED strip lights with copper or flexible circuit boards toughness, it might cause the LED strip lights when the bending fracture, will also affect the LED strip lights with life.

3. Power supply factors, LED strip lights are generally used with constant voltage power supply (DC switching power supply) power, if the power output is unstable, or there is no surge protection, voltage fluctuations will be outside the network when the output voltage and unstable current, resulting in a non-standard LED strip with working voltage will affect its life.

4.Because LED is a constant element, so different manufacturers to produce LED strip with constant effect is not the same, of course, life will therefore vary.

After everyone in the know the above points, in the purchase of LED strip with the time necessary to pay attention, but also pay attention to when in use to strengthen the LED strip with protection, which can extend the use of LED strip with time.
