Differences Between high voltage and low voltage strip

Large lighting patterns, residential landscaping, a variety of indoor entertainment centers, building outlines, and other auxiliary and decorative lighting applications are all frequently accomplished with LED strip lights.

It may be separated into low voltage DC12V/24V LED strip lights and high voltage LED strip lights based on the voltage.A light strip powered by a high voltage is known as a high voltage LED strip light. It is also known as an AC LED light strip because it is powered by alternating current. such as LED strip lights that run on AC 110V, 120V, 230V, and 240V.
Low-voltage LED strip lights, also known as 12V/24V or DC LED strip lights, are often powered by low-voltage DC 12V/24V.
The two primary products in the linear lighting market are the high-voltage LED rope light and the 12V/24V LED strip light, which have comparable lighting effects.

The following mostly discusses the distinctions between the DC 12V/24V and high-voltage 110V/120V/230V/240V LED strip lights.
1. LED Strip Light Appearance: PCB boards and PVC plastic are the primary materials used in the injection molding process to create the 230V/240V LED strip light. The main power supply wire for the full formed led strip is one independent wire on each side, which could be copper or alloy wires.
A specific number of LED lamp beads are equally spaced throughout the flexible PCB board, which is positioned between two main conductors.
The premium LED strip has a high level of transparency and a nice texture. It looks tidy, is clear and pure, and is free of contaminants. On the other hand, if it is subpar, it will seem greyish-yellow and have inadequate suppleness.
All of the 230V/240V high-voltage LED strips are sleeved, and they have an IP67 waterproof classification.
The appearance of the high-voltage LED strip differs slightly from that of the 12V/24V LED strip. The led strip does not have double-alloy wires on either side.
Due to the low working voltage of the strip, its two main power lines are directly integrated on the flexible PCB. Low-voltage 12V/24V led strip light can be made with non-waterproof (IP20), Epoxy dustproof (IP54), casing rainproof (IP65), casing filling (IP67) and full drainage (IP68), and other processes.

#2. Light Strip Minimum Cutting Unit: Pay attention to the cut-out mark on the surface to determine when the 12V or 24V LED strip light has to be cut.
The LED strip light has a scissors mark at each specific distance, indicating that it is possible to cut this area.
The 12V LED strip lights with 60 LEDs/m are often made up of 3 LEDs (5 cm in length) that may be cut, making them the smallest unit of low-voltage LED strip with a cut length. Every six LEDs in the 10-cm-long 24V LED strip lights are cut. The 12V/24V 5050 LED strip lamp is displayed below. Typically, 12v LED strips with 120 LEDs/m come with 3 cutable LEDs that are 2.5 cm long. Every six LEDs, the 24-volt light strip (which is 5 cm long) is cut. The 2835 12V/24V LED strip lamp is displayed below.

You can alter the cutting length and spacing if necessary. It is really versatile.
You can only cut the 110V/240V LED strip light from the spot where there is a scissors mark; you cannot cut it from the middle, or the entire set of lights will not function. The smallest unit has a cut length of 0.5m or 1m.
Let’s say we just require a 2.5-meter, 110-volt LED strip light. What ought we to do?
To stop light leaks and partial over-brightness, we can cut out 3m and fold the extra half a meter back or cover it with black tape.
