Selecting A LED Strip Light for Decoration (2)

Last time, we talked about 2 main things to choose a LED strip light: waterproof and color. Now we will go on to talk about that.

1. 5050 or 3528 LED strip light. The number means the size of the individual LEDs on the strip.5050 indicates that the chip size 5mm by 5mm, while 3528 means 3.5mm by 2.8mm. The main difference between these two types is the consistency of light they produce. 3528 LEDs will create a more jagged and inconsistent effect, while 5050 LEDs will provide a more even spread of light. As the different lighting effect, usually the price of 5050 strips is higher than 3528. If you want a good lighting effect, I suggest you the 5050 strips, but if you don’t want to pay too much money or you just want to have a try, then should be the 3528.

2. Brightness. This brightness should decided by the number of of LEDs within a meter. Usually, we have 1M 30pcs LEDs, 1M 60pcs LEDs or 1M 120pcs LEDs. The more LEDs on the strip are , the brighter the strips are.

3. Flexible or not . It depends on the application. Flexible strip can be used in many places for example on the corner of a round ceiling. As this type of strip can adjust according to the places they are going to be installed. Let’s suppose, if a boy wants to make the strips into a LOVE shape. That will be hard for him to finish if he uses a rigid strip, but flexible one can help him to make a good effect.

If one day you want to buy some LED strips for decoration, you can take this as a reference.
