Light strips are beautiful, but there are many choices. How can you choose the one that suits you?
Let's discuss some tips on how to choose light strips and install them.
1. COB light strip installation method
The installation method of COB light strips is a point that everyone is very concerned about. Why is the installation of COB light strips deeply related to the selection?
First, the light effect is affected by many factors.
Second, if the installation of light strips is not considered before decoration, the choice of light strips will be different.
If there is a need for lighting in the later stage, embedded light strips cannot be selected.
01. Paste-type installation
Convenient and easy to tear and paste, there is glue on the back of the COB light strip. If you paste it wrong, just tear it off and paste it again. Even the clumsy party can easily solve it.
It is highly plastic and customizable. Lamps installed by pasting have a feature that the light strips can be customized according to needs and shaped at will.
COB light strips themselves are mainly used as atmosphere lights. For locations such as the entrance, cabinets, and TV background walls, the sizes of each family are different, so customization is a very wise choice.
Paste installation is very suitable for mirror edges. The light strip is soft and can be easily fixed in any shape.
An important function that cannot be ignored is the IP protection level. If you want to use a light strip on the bathroom mirror, you must pay attention to choosing a light strip with a waterproof and dustproof level, such as an IP67 waterproof and dustproof light strip.
02. Light trough installation
The COB light strip with the light trough is a perfect straight line. The light trough is equivalent to the shell of the light strip, similar to the mobile phone case of a mobile phone. If the light strip is used with the light trough, it can only be installed straight.
When choosing a straight light strip, you need to pay attention to the material of the light trough.
The COB light strip has a long life, and the light trough will naturally not lag behind.
Aluminum profile + PCD, not easy to oxidize, high light transmittance, heat and cold resistance.
The material design of the light trough will also determine the light output method and anti-glare dimension.
The light trough has a frosted feel, and the light output is even, soft and non-glare, like a good night song humming in your ears while you sleep.
Different lamp troughs will affect the light output of COB light strips. Here we introduce two common lamp troughs, 45° lamp troughs and flat lamp troughs.
