LED Strip Light Types

All the variety of LED strips can be divided into several main groups, depending on the key characteristics and scope. By the color of the glow are divided into monochrome and multi-color RGB-tape. According to the degree of security distinguished open and sealed. You can still select the types of "Running Fire" and side glow.

We will study each group in more detail.

MONOCHROME

White monochrome ribbon

Monochrome ribbons differ in that they give only one color of luminescence. The palette is limited to six colors - white, red, blue, green, yellow, orange and pink.

The limited color gamut is compensated by the economic advantage - monochrome ribbons are the most affordable option. The main application is the contour illumination of mounted structures, niches, shelves, and stairs.

MULTI-COLOR RGB

RGB led strip

Multi-color RGB tapes allow you to forcibly change the color of the glow in a wide range of shades. A similar effect is achieved by combining essentially three colors in one tape: red (Red), green (Green) and blue (Blue). Optical mixing of these colors and gives a variety of palettes.

A special controller is responsible for adjusting the color. Basic controller models are capable of transmitting about 3 million colors. Advanced - up to 16 million. In addition, the controller allows you to adjust the algorithms for the automatic color change, control the brightness of the glow and remotely turn on / off the backlight.

SEALED

To protect the LEDs from external exposure — moisture, dust, or larger objects — a layer of a transparent sealant that does not conduct current is applied to the tape.

SIDE GLOW TAPE

Sideband tapes use cylindrical LEDs that are soldered to the end of the board.

SIDE GLOW TAPE

The end arrangement of the diodes change the direction of the light - the diodes shine along the illuminated plane. These tapes are often used to illuminate plasma screens and monitors, as well as in advertising structures.
