Application and selection of lamp belt

The lamp belt is divided into low-voltage light belt and conventional light belt. What about the light belt used above? With the application of indirect light source of floodlight ceiling, supplementary light source under cabinet, supplementary light source in cabinet and decorative light source, should low-voltage light belt or high-voltage light belt be applied in these places? Today, I will introduce the characteristics of these two kinds of light belts for you to choose.

 

High voltage lamp strip

No matter low-voltage light belt or high-voltage light belt, a conversion device on the side of converter or transformer is used to provide power for light belt. The difference is that one output voltage is 220 V, and the other is less than 36 V, that is, below safety voltage. From the appearance, the low-voltage light belt needs to change from high-voltage to low-voltage, so the volume is relatively large, while the high-voltage light belt should be called “voltage stabilizing connector”. The volume is relatively small, generally, except for the plug and connector, it is smaller than mahjong brand.

 

Low voltage light strip

In addition to the difference of conversion joint, the back sheet of low-voltage light belt is relatively thin, and there is no tensile property. The overall length is limited, which is generally 5 meters, while the length of high-voltage light belt is relatively long. The maximum length of a bundle is 100 meters. Therefore, if the decorative surface is relatively long, the high-voltage light belt should be preferred, such as the floodlight ceiling, which is more than 20 meters in a circle. If you use the low-voltage light belt, you have to install a transformer for each one. Of course, it is also 10 meters or 20 meters. The back plate is generally thicker.

High voltage lamp with driver

No matter low-voltage or high-voltage light belt, there are cutting points. That is, after cutting from the cutting point, you can add a transformer or high-voltage connector, and you can get a separate light belt. The cutting point of low-voltage light belt is generally 5-10cm, while that of high-voltage light belt is generally 1 meter, so the low-voltage light belt is generally more flexible.

 

Be sure to see the cutting point scissors

So, under what circumstances should high-voltage light belt be selected and under what circumstances should low-voltage light belt be used? What should be paid attention to when using it? Try to use low-voltage light belt in the water area, such as the supplementary light source under the kitchen cabinet and the supplementary light source of the mirror on the hand washing table. If there is no hidden low-voltage lamp with transformer behind or around the mirror, use the high-voltage light belt to put the connector on the upper part of the mirror to avoid splashing water as much as possible. The interior light of many cupboards is relatively dark, some friends choose to use light belt to supplement lighting, for safety, you can choose low-voltage light belt, but do not put the transformer in the interior of the closet, set up a separate switch, to avoid the risk of fire.

 

What are the other applications of light belts? I think the most important use of the light belt is to supplement the light source and decorative function. In addition to the supplementary lighting of the wash basin, table top and dressing table, I used to live in the lower bunk when I was in school. I used to stick a few light belts on the upper bunk as a table lamp. It can be cut at 10cm or 20cm. It is convenient and flexible. Now, many light belts are equipped with bases and Lampshades for beautiful appearance. If your home is duplex, stair with glass balustrade, can also be decorated with light belt, under the step, at night up and down stairs can replace the main lamp.
