Choosing LED Strips-how to select the perfect lights

Regarding how to choose the light strip, here are the following 5 points to analyze: 1. Look at the solder joints 2. Look at the quality of the FPC 3. Look at the cleanliness of the LED strip surface 4. Look at the packaging 5. Look at the label.

1. Look at the solder joints

Generally, the LED strips produced by regular manufacturers use SMT patch technology, using solder paste and reflow soldering technology. Therefore, the solder joints of the LED light strip are very lubricated, the amount of solder is small, and the solder joints are arc- shaped. The solder joints of low-quality LED lights are uneven, and many layers of dots cover the solder feet, which affects the aesthetics.

2. Look at the quality of FPC

FPC has two types: copper-clad and rolled copper. The copper foil of the copper-clad board is convex. The rolled copper is connected to the FPC, which can be bent at will, and the pad will not fall off. If the copper-clad board is bent, the pad will fall off.

3. Look at the cleanliness of the surface of the LED strip

The SMT process lamp strip is very clean, and almost all impurities and stains are seen on the surface. If the light strip is hand-soldered, some stains and cleaning marks will remain on the surface how to wash it.

4. Look at the packaging

The light strips of regular manufacturers are packaged in anti-static coils, usually five meters per roll or ten meters per roll, sealed in anti-static and moisture-proof packaging bags. In order to save costs, low-quality light strips are selected without anti-static and moisture-proof packaging bags, and the quality is not guaranteed.

5. Look at the label

The light strips, packaging bags and reels produced by regular manufacturers have printed labels, not printed labels. Inferior light strip labels are printed, and the parameters are different. The led strip products produced by Xinshengkai Optoelectronics have passed ETL, CE, ROHS and REACH certification. Products are widely used in machinery and equipment, home lighting, hotels, shops, restaurants and other places.

The above is to teach you how to choose the color of the light strip and how to identify the quality of the light strip. I hope to help friends who want to buy the light strip.
