The Benefits of Using 12V LED Strip Lights
If
you have ever gone to a hardware store and look at the various light strips for
lighting your home, you may have noticed that they are available in two
different types - 12V LED strip lights and HID lighting. If you do not know
much about either type of light, it is advisable that you learn more about them
before purchasing one. In addition to their differences, there are also a few
advantages to using LED and HID lights both. In this article, we will explore a
little bit about each type of light. After reading this article, you should be
able to decide if you need these types of lights in your home.
LED
strip lights are generally used in areas that receive a lot of direct sunlight.
They produce a very bright light, but they need to be plugged into an electrical
outlet to work. The bright light produced by these strip lights is provided by
the light-semiconductor diodes. While the diode within the semiconductor must
be charged with electricity, the light emitting diode is not.
As
the diode charges the electricity, it releases energy in the form of photons.
This energy is then absorbed by the phosphor powder in the strip lights and
sent down the line to a special connector. When the electricity passes through
the connector, the current will cause the voltage to increase. The current in
the line will then create a flow of electrons that will move from the source of
power to the diode. The electrons will gain additional energy as they pass
through the diode, creating a very bright light that will energize the phosphor
powder so that it can start to glow.
HID
light strips typically come equipped with additional lamps that will allow them
to produce an even brighter light than what was originally produced by the
single-sided diode. Because the bulbs within the lamp are positively charged,
the phosphor will also become charged. Once the electron flow becomes complete,
the current in the light will be released in the form of photons. This type of
light is very efficient and reliable, which is why most people use strip led lights instead of regular bulbs.
LED
lights are available in two different sizes. There are full-sized strips that
are about 12 inches wide. And then there are mini-diodes that are only about
six inches in width. When purchasing your LED strip lights, you should consider
how many meters or strands you will be using so that you can get the
appropriate size for the power source that you have.
You
may also need to consider other factors when purchasing your LED linear light.
If you are going to be using the lights indoors, then you will want to purchase
ones that have been specially designed for this purpose. Another important
factor that you should keep in mind is the amount of current that the diode is
capable of handling. For outdoor use, you can rely on the standard diode but if
you are going to be working inside, you may need to buy a more powerful one so
that you can handle the higher levels of current.
