A common choice when choosing an LED strip is either 12V or 24V. Both fall within low voltage lighting,with 12V being the more common sepcification.But which is better?
It depends on a variety of factors, but the questions below should help you narrow it down.
(1)Your space.
The power of LED lights is different. The 12V light strip has a relatively small power and is used in small-scale occasions. The 24V light strip has a relatively large power and is used in a wide range of spaces.
(2) Do you have an existing power supply specification?
If, for example, you’re using 12V batteries or already have inventory of 12V power supplies, you might be better off making sure the new LED strips match what you already have.
That way, you won’t need to buy a new set of power supplies just to match the LEDs.
(3)Ambient cooling conditions and length requirement.
The 12V light strip has low power and low requirements for heat dissipation. Due to its high power, 24V light strips have relatively high requirements for heat dissipation.In applications such as LED strip lighting, the maximum continuous length of an LED strip is typically dictated by the electrical current that the LED strip copper traces can handle. Therefore, 24V LED strips will typically be able to handle twice the length that a 12V LED strip would, assuming that the power ratings of the two products are the same.12V strip with have voltage drop with less legth than 24V.
(4)The working voltage of the lamp beads is different.
In order to enhance the versatility and interchangeability, it is generally designed to be powered by a 12V DC power supply. The working voltage of 3 lamp beads in series is about 9.6V.
Simply put, a 24V LED system will draw half the amount of current as a 12V LED system to achieve the same power level.
But all in all, no matter what kind of light bar it is, it is best to suit your needs. We provide low voltage and high voltage light strips, also can be customized requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact us
