Led Tape Lights And Tips For Locating The Right Led Strips For Landscape Style

By:


It is amazing to just think about how apparently small improvements in solid state LED light technology can modify the entire industry. The development of miniature and flexible LED strip lights is one example. With the technological development of all-color LED (light emitting diode) -- blue light was the most difficult to produce on a large scale -- and with the superb power-saving features of LED lights in general, come additional advantages.

Not only are LED lights a power saver, but they are also space saver. Indeed, a powerful light source, yet cold to the touch, can be installed in a minimal amount of space. As long as one provides for sturdy wire connections between the LEDs, and as long as minimal heat sinks are installed, LED lights can be arranged into luminous yet flexible strings.

Thus, the birth of flexible LED strip designs. Interior designers, as well as exterior designers, and landscape designers are taking advantage of such flexible LED light strip designs en masse. When you don't have to worry about power consumption, space limitations, and, with solid waterproof design, any weather related issues, then the creative force in a designer can run on a whole new level.

In this section we will go over the current, wide and growing selection of LED strip lights, and what features specifically a buyer must be looking into for outdoor, landscape LED lighting purposes.

Features of flexible LED strips important for outdoor use

These are the main features of LED strips that you will want to look into:

Size of LED diodes: Though all diodes are relatively smaller than other equivalent sources of light, some diodes are much smaller than others. Some are much flatter than others, allowing LED strips to be thin and very flexible. Larger LEDs will usually produce brighter light. Larger diodes may sometimes be enclosed in protective tubes, see below.

LED light density: The number of diodes per foot of the strip will determine the overall brightness and current or wattage consumption per unit length.

The LED light colors: These can vary between single color, from red to green to blue and everything in-between, to RGB color changing strips.

Color and brightness control: Some strips have remote controls to change both the color of the strip, and the brightness using dimmers, and mixing the three primary colors of diodes in the strip. Landscapers use this to set the mood for the occasion.

Flexibility and sturdiness of the LED strip: These are usually inversely related, the sturdier the strip, the less flexible the strip is. Sturdier strips will be better protected against physical force, and against water intrusion.
