What is LED light strip?

The LED light strip refers to assembling LEDs on a strip-shaped FPC (flexible circuit board) or PCB hard board. It is named because its shape is like a strip. Because of its long service life (generally normal life span is 80,000 to 100,000 hours), it is also very energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and it has gradually emerged in various decoration industries.

Light strip is the abbreviation of LED light strip. Most people are not used to long nouns when talking about it, so they omit the LED in front and just call it light strip. This name of light strip also includes many old-fashioned light strips that directly connect LEDs with wires without using FPC or PCB.

Flexible light strips and Rigid light strips:

1. The flexible LED light strip uses FPC as an assembled circuit board and SMD LEDs for assembly, so that the thickness of the product is only 0.1CM and does not take up space; the common specifications are 30cm long with 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs and 50cm 15 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 30 LEDs, etc. There are also 60cm, 80cm, etc. Different users have different specifications. And it can be cut or extended at will without affecting the brightness. The FPC material is soft and can be bent, folded, rolled, and moved and expanded in three-dimensional space without breaking. It is suitable for use in irregular places and places with small spaces, and because it can be bent and rolled arbitrarily, it is suitable for any combination of various patterns in advertising decoration.
2. Rigid light strips are assembled with PCB hard boards as circuit boards. LEDs can be assembled with SMD LEDs or with in-line LEDs. Different components are used depending on the needs. The advantage of hard light strips is that they are easier to fix and are more convenient to process and install; the disadvantage is that they cannot be bent at will and are not suitable for irregular places. Hard light strips use SMD LEDs in various specifications such as 18 LEDs, 24 LEDs, 30 LEDs, 36 LEDs, 40 LEDs, etc.; those using direct plug-in LEDs include 18, 24, 36, and 48 LEDs. There are different specifications, including front and side ones. The ones that emit light from the side are also called Great Wall light bars.
