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.
