The use of LED flexible light bars LED strip lighting is mainly used for decorative purposes. As the LED strip is not very well understood, there are many customers who will miss some links in the calculation of the project quotation, giving themselves some extra unnecessary costs. The following is an example of some products to share how to calculate the project installation cost of LED strip lights: 1, LED strip length: calculate the total length of the required LED strip. LED strip can be divided into three groups of cut off the use of the general 60 LED per meter LED strip length of 50mm per group, 30 LED per meter LED strip length of 100mm per group. understand this can be calculated according to the construction effect design drawings the actual need to use The number of LED strips to be used. Generally set aside about a meter of spare length is good, so as to avoid excessive procurement resulting in a waste of resources.      2, LED strip power: because the purchase of LED strip does not distribute power, so after calculating the length of the required LED strip, to calculate the power required to match the power supply. The power of different LED strips varies, so the power of the matching power supply should be chosen with care. The following is a list of LED strip power: 0603LED strip: 12V, 60 LEDs per metre, 1.5W per metre 1210LED strip: 12V, 60 LEDs per metre, 4.8W per metre 5050LED Flexible Strip: 12V, 30 LEDs per meter, 7.2W per meter 5050 LED strip light: 12V, 60 LEDs per meter, 14.4W per meter        For example, if you buy a 5050 LED strip with a 12V, 4A power supply, you can only take 6 metres of 5050 LED strip with one power supply. Because the power of 5050LED strip is 7.2W per metre, the total power of 6 metres is 43.2W, while the rated power of the power supply is 48W. It is generally not recommended to use the power supply at full capacity, as this has a great impact on the life of the power supply. If you need 100 meters, then the corresponding 4A power supply will need to be equipped with * less than 16.    3, LED soft strip controller: for RGB soft strip, it must be equipped with a controller to be effective, and a controller can control the length of the LED soft strip from 5 meters to 20 meters, mainly depending on which specification of controller is chosen. Thus, after purchasing the RGB strip, you will also need to purchase additional controllers depending on the length of the controller, or additional RGB amplifiers (each amplifier can be extended by 5 metres). Do not make the mistake of thinking that one controller can achieve all the control requirements of an RGB soft strip, this is a misconception.        Let's say you buy a 100m RGB strip and the controller you choose is a conventional controller, i.e. each controller has a 5m control range. Then a 100m RGB strip would require 20 RGB controllers, or one RGB controller and 19 amplifiers.

The use of LED flexible light bars

LED strip lighting is mainly used for decorative purposes.

For example, if you buy a 5050 LED strip with a 12V, 4A power supply, you can only take 6 metres of 5050 LED strip with one power supply. Because the power of 5050LED strip is 7.2W per metre, the total power of 6 metres is 43.2W, while the rated power of the power supply is 48W.
