How to Connect the LED Strips
Backlight LEDs actively spreading in modern
design. LED strips are used in various fields. For example, LEDs are used in
the interior spaces of buildings. The shop windows are also illuminated lights
from LEDs in cars are also used LED strip. Low cost, practicality and easy
installation LEDs have provided widespread.
You will need
- IP65
LED Strip Light
- Power Supply
- Scissors
- Soldering iron
In the beginning, you need to decide on the
venue installation LED strip and calculate the length of its future. One must
remember that the LED strip can be cut through multiple intervals (for example,
SMD 3528 Q60 tape can be cut every 5 cm), so you need to take this into account
in the calculation.
The next step is the selection of the power
supply. The power supply must strictly conform to the stated capacity of the
tape. In the selection of the block is best to consult with a professional
advisor, not to be mistaken.
After all, the components purchased to
prepare the surface for the tape mounting. Mounting location carefully
degreased. It is better if the surface is solid (in order to avoid damage to
the tape PCB). If the tape be mounted on metal or other conductive surfaces,
the tape must be isolated. If the tape does not need to cut, it is immediately
ready for installation. LED strips have a back side of the adhesive layer. With
this adhesive layer and made assembling strip. The protective coating is
removed and the tape pressed against the surface. BTW, you can select the LED
strips at Banggood. Besides, you can easily get other LED light (e.g. COB
LED chip) there with high quality and reasonable prices.
The final step is to connect the tape to the power supply and controller, which is produced by wires from the tape. Each wire has its own designation on the conductive path, R, G, B, and V +, and connected respectively polarity to 4 inputs on the controller R, G, B, V + .Blok power to 220V connect the two wires to terminals L + and N-. Next, connect the "+" on the power supply to the "+" on the controller, and "-" to "-", respectively. Voltage polarity must not be confused - this can lead to equipment failure and damage to the tape.
