1.What is a neon light strip?
Neon strip is a kind of light source decoration material that adopts the luminescence principle of semiconductor LED or phosphor. It uses flexible materials to wrap the light source and can be bent into complex shapes. It is widely used in commercial, entertainment venues and homes.
2. Calculation method of neon strip power
The power of neon strips depends on several factors, including length, color, and how they work. Generally speaking, its power is between 5W-10W. The calculation formula of power is: power = length (meter) x wattage/meter. For example, a one-meter neon strip with a power of 5W would have a total power of 5W x 1m = 5W.
In addition, neon light strips are divided into two types: constant light type and gradient type (i.e. flashing type). The power of the always-on type is generally lower than that of the gradual type, usually around 5W. The power of the gradual type is relatively high, generally between 8W-10W.
3. Factors affecting the power of neon strips
● Length: The longer the neon strip, the higher the power.
● Color: Light sources of different colors will have different powers. Generally speaking, neon strips with lighter colors will have lower wattage.
● Working method: The power of the normally bright neon light strip is lower than that of the flashing type.
4. Precautions for use
● Be sure to pay attention to the voltage during installation to avoid damage caused by mismatched power supplies.
● Neon strips use DC power, but most controllers use AC power, so an adapter is needed to convert the voltage.
● Pay attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing during installation and use.
● Do not leave neon strips exposed to the sun for a long time, otherwise the lifespan will be reduced.
【in conclusion】
The power of neon strips depends on several factors, including length, color, and how they work. Generally speaking, its power is between 5W-10W, but the specific power needs to be determined according to the actual situation. When using it, pay attention to selecting the appropriate power supply and controller, and pay attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing to avoid affecting the lifespan.
