How to choose the right strip and driver?

More than a trend, LED strips have gained popularity in lighting projects, raising questions about how much it illuminates, where and how to install it, and which driver to use for each kind of tape. If you related to the theme, then this stuff is for you. Here you will learn about LED strips, the strip models available at MINGXUE, and how to select the appropriate driver.

What is an LED strip?
LED strips are increasingly used in building and decorating projects. Their primary goal, produced in flexible ribbon format, is to brighten, highlight, and embellish the environment in a simple and dynamic manner, allowing for a variety of practical and creative light applications. They can be used in a variety of ways, including main lighting in crown molding, effect lighting in drapes, shelves, countertops, headboards, and anything else that inspires imagination.

Other benefits of investing in this form of lighting include the product’s simplicity of handling and installation. They are extremely tiny and can fit almost anyplace. In addition to its environmentally friendly LED technology, which is extremely efficient. Some variants use less than 4.5 watts per meter and provide more light than 60W standard bulbs.
Explore the various models of MINGXUE LED STRIP.
Before getting into the topic, it’s vital to grasp the many varieties of LED strips.

Step 1: First, pick the models based on the application location.

IP20 is for indoor use.

IP65 and IP67: Tapes designed for outdoor use.

Tip: If the application area is close to human touch, consider protective tapes even inside. Furthermore, the protection aids in cleaning by removing any dust that settles there.

Step 2 – Select the ideal Voltage for your project.

When we buy household items such as appliances, they usually have a high voltage ranging from 110V to 220V, and they may be connected straight to the wall plug regardless of voltage. In the case of LED strips, it does not always happen this way, as some models require drivers to be put between the strip and the socket in order to function properly:
The 12V cassettes require a 12Vdc driver, which converts the electricity coming out of the socket to 12 Volts. For this reason, the model does not include a plug, as an electrical connection between the tape and the driver, as well as the driver and the power supply, is always required.
On the other hand, the 24V Tape model needs a 24Vdc driver, converting the voltage that comes out of the socket to 12 Volts.
