1.Color temperature of light strips
Color temperature is an important consideration when choosing light strips. Color temperature determines the hue of the light, whether it is warm or cool. Generally speaking, the color temperature of 3000K is yellowish, 4000K is white, 5000K is pure white, and 6000K is blue. In order to create a comfortable lighting environment at home, it is recommended to choose light strips with a color temperature in the range of 3000-4000K, so that the light appears soft and pleasant indoors. It should be noted that the higher the color temperature of the light strip, the more blue its light is, the more likely it is to attract mosquitoes. Because blue light has a short wavelength, and mosquitoes are sensitive to short-wave light, the stronger the blue light, the easier it is to attract mosquitoes.
2. Wattage of light strips
The wattage range of light strips is usually between 7 and 20 watts. When choosing, you need to consider the length of the LED light strip, the type of lamp beads, the brightness of the lamp beads, and the number of lamp beads per meter. For example, for a one-meter-long 60-bead 5050 light strip with normal brightness, the wattage of each 5050 lamp bead is about 0.18W. Therefore, the total wattage of such a one-meter LED light strip is 0.18 times 60, which is 10.8W. But please note that the specific wattage needs to be confirmed on the product details page or by consulting the merchant's customer service.
3. Material selection of light strips
LED light strips are usually made of a variety of materials, including PVC, PVC+copper wire, silicone sleeve, rolled copper, aluminum, and copper wire. However, in daily home decoration, PVC light strips are the first choice. It is affordable and has excellent dielectric properties and durability, which can meet the needs of most families for light strips. Therefore, when purchasing light strips, just choose PVC material.
