The positive and negative of high voltage LED strip light and low voltage LED strip light

     VS     

High voltage LED strip 110V/220V/230V/240V and low voltage LED strip 5V12V/24V/36V/48V are two common LED strips , which are widely used in the field of lighting.

What are the positive and negative of high voltage LED strip lights and low voltage LED strip wholesale? Although they are all LED strips, there are some differences between them, including voltage, power, brightness, service life and so on. 

This article will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of high voltage and low voltage SMD LED strips and the differences between them.

First, high voltage LED strip light outdoor

1. Advantages:

(1) High brightness: 

The voltage of the high-voltage LED strip is high, usually 220V AC or higher 240V AC, so its brightness is correspondingly high.

(2) Good stability: 

Due to the high voltage of the high-voltage LED strip, its current is small, so its stability is good, not easy to flicker and other problems.

(3) Long life span: 

The voltage of the high-voltage LED strip lights is higher, and its current is smaller, so its life is longer, which can usually reach more than 50,000 hours.

2. Disadvantages:

(1) Poor safety: 

Due to the high voltage of the high voltage LED strip lights warehouse, it is necessary to pay attention to safety issues when using, otherwise it may cause harm to the human body.

(2) Complex installation: 

The high-voltage LED strip light needs to be connected to the high-voltage power supply, so its installation is more complicated and requires professionals to operate.

(3) High cost: 

Because the voltage of the high-voltage LED strip light roll is higher, its cost is correspondingly higher and the price is more expensive.

(4)Cut line distance:

Usually,the cutting unit for cuttable high-voltage LED strip light is long ,0.5m for 110V,1m for 220V or 240V.At present,wireless the high-voltage LED strip light cut line distance can be 20cm.The constant IC wireless LED strip light with high voltage 220V 230V 240V can be 10cm,application scale is more wider.

Two, low volts LED strip light

1. Advantages:

(1) Good safety: 

The voltage of the low-voltage LED strips is low, usually 12V or 24V DC, so its safety is better and will not cause harm to the human body.

(2) Simple installation:

The low-voltage LED strip wholesale can be directly connected to the DC power supply, so its installation is relatively simple and does not require professional operation.

(3) Low cost: 

Because the voltage of the low-voltage LED strip lights is low, its cost is correspondingly low, and the price is relatively cheap.

(4)Cut line distance:

Usually,the cutting unit for low-volts LED strip light 12V 24V DC is 2.5cm for 12V,5cm for 24V,or 1cm for free cut.

2. Disadvantages:

(1) Low brightness: 

No matter how high the wattage per meter of the low-voltage LED strip light,the voltage is low, so its brightness is correspondingly low.

(2) Poor stability: 

Because the voltage of the IP20 IP44 low-voltage LED strip is low, its current is large, so its stability is poor, prone to flicker and other problems.

(3) Short life span: 

The voltage of the low-voltage LED light strips  is low, and its current is large, so its life span is short, usually only about 10,000 hours.

In summary, high voltage LED strip light and low voltage LED strip lights have advantages and disadvantages. If you need high brightness, long life lighting effect, you can choose high voltage bright soft LED strip lights; If you need good safety, low cost lighting effect, you can choose low-voltage LED strip light. In the selection need to be based on their own needs for comprehensive consideration.
