There are different types of strip lights. One type is made of ordinary bulbs in series. It is affordable but consumes more energy, usually only a few yuan per meter. The other type is LED strip lights. Even if one of the bulbs is damaged, it will not affect the luminous effect of the entire strip lights. The energy-saving effect is significant, but the price is relatively high, about 20 yuan per meter. When choosing, you can go to a lighting store for detailed understanding and comparison.
LED strip lights have a very long service life, with a normal life of 80,000 to 100,000 hours. They are durable and environmentally friendly, so they are popular among consumers. Its main components include LEDs and FPCs, but both lack durability in low temperature environments.
When it comes to the energy consumption of LED strip lights, they actually don't consume much electricity. This is because LED strip lights are made of energy-saving light sources, namely light-emitting diodes. The size of the light-emitting components on LED strip lights has different specifications. For example, the 0603 specification is converted to metric system, which is 1005, which means that the length of the LED component is 0mm and the width is 0.5mm.
The energy consumption of strip lights does vary depending on the structure. Although ordinary strip lights with series-connected bulbs are affordable, they have high energy consumption. LED strip lights have significant energy-saving advantages. Even though they are slightly more expensive, their cost-effectiveness is still widely recognized.
The power consumption of LED strip lights mainly depends on the number of LEDs on them. The power consumption of each ordinary white light LED is about 20 mA. For high-power LEDs, common powers are 1W, 3W, and 5W. According to the power and number of LEDs used, the overall power consumption can be easily calculated. According to the data from Jiahe Youju, the commonly used powers of strip lights are 5W, 8W, and 2W. Even if the strip lights with the highest power consumption of 2W per meter is taken as an example, its energy consumption is still relatively low.
