The lighting intensity of your strips

The lighting intensity of your strips

Some resellers deliberately omit to inform you about this crucial point which nevertheless determines the lighting power of your future strip.

You would not buy a bulb without knowing its light intensity? It's the same for LED strips.

The type of LED used

It may be important if you do not know the lighting intensity of the strip.
Note that 2 strips with 60 LEDs/meter each, may not have the same lighting intensity depending on the size of the LEDs used. These different LEDs do not have the same efficiency so it may be necessary to have a greater or lesser amount of these to obtain a similar result. But in general, for a lambda user who does not necessarily know the characteristics and the yields of each of these types of LEDs, it will be necessary to focus on the value in lumens of the lighting intensity that will be the only useful, and just for sure!

The lighting color

Monochrome (one color). Available now on LEDs-shop in Warm White and White Day.
RGB (multi-color) controller will be needed to manage the different colors and functions of your strip.

The tightness

Very often the waterproof LED strip light is used in a humid environment or to guard against dust which could eventually cloud the luminous surface of the LEDs. The power remains exactly the same as the led strip is waterproof or not. Only its appearance changes and even the electronics remain mostly the same. To put it simply, we simply add a silicone sheath or an epoxy resin on a non-waterproof tape to make it waterproof.
It should be noted, however, that only the tape is waterproof. The connections, the power supply (and the controller, if any) should be protected against any splashing of water and moisture. Also note that if the strips are scored (often every 10 cm, allowing you to make custom installations), cutting them, will also cut its silicone protection and will not be waterproof. It will then be appropriate for everyone to adopt the strips to its application, if necessary by adding silicone to make the strip again waterproof.

What power supply for my LED strip?

For an LED strip as for 12V bulbs type, you need to size the power of your processor. It is very easy, it is at first a simple addition. Indeed, you will need to add the powers of each of your meters of strips taking the value of the power per meter of the latter.

You will get the power of your installation, add a margin of about 10% in order not to operate your transformer permanently at maximum capacity. Then all that remains is to choose the transformer delivering the power greater or equal to the closest to your result.
