You then need to add another 20% to avoid potential overload on the transformer. For example: a five metre length of strip lighting with 60 small LED chips equates to 25W, so it'll need a 30W LED transformer. How to make your LED strip lighting dimmable

There has been no scientific evidence that suggests danger in doing so; it may be more of a personal preference than anything else.You have more flexibility when it comes to mains wired LED strip lighting, but they're not as easy to install as plug and play strip kits, and may require the help of a qualified electrician. Lengths ranging from 1m to 5m are available, which is ideal for more permanent installations. The most important thing to note when it comes to wired LED strip lighting is that you'll require an LED transformer to power them, which we'll look at in more detail next. How to choose the transformer you need One of the main reasons companies recommend not covering LED lights is too much heat in a small space.

There are a few different types of tape that can be used to cover LED lights. One of the most popular types is electrical tape. Electrical tape is designed to resist heat, moisture, and corrosion, making it a good option for covering LED lights. Another option is duct tape. When finding the LED transformer you need, there are three main factors you have to take into consideration: The aluminum channels may help dissipate the heat from the LED strips, but for the most part they are not necessary for thermal management and are primarily for mounting and diffusion purposes. Some people like the color and light that LED lights to provide, and they want as much as possible of the entire bulb to be that light.Small LED strip light chips are marked "3528" and measure 3.5mm x 2.8mm, while large LED strip light chips are marked "5050" and measure 5mm x 5mm. LED lighting is touted as one of the most efficient forms of lighting because it uses less power than standard bulbs to provide light for longer periods. No matter how you choose to hide your strip lights, the important thing is to make sure that they are out of sight. By following these tips, you can keep your lighting discreet and stylish. What Can I Use to Cover Led Lights?

With the same amount of light coming from every LED bulb in an area, you will never have to worry about glaring lights again. They’re great for illuminating a room evenly. Trust me; it’s worth turning off all your main lights to see how good they look when you flip that switch on! 3. Give Aesthetic Vibe: Another way to hide your strip lights is to install them in a soffit. A soffit is a recessed box installed in the ceiling or wall and is used to hide wiring or ductwork. You can buy a pre-made soffit that is the right size for your light or have one custom-made.Unlike LED bulbs, all LED strips are dimmable when paired with the correct equipment. There are two methods of dimming LED strips: a traditional phase-cut wall-dimmer, or a DC low-voltage dimmer. The AC phase-cut dimmer approach is typically most ideal for residential and commercial lighting applications where the dimming input signal comes from a traditional wall-switch dimmer. This setup requires a TRIAC dimmable power supply. A DC low-voltage dimmer or (RGB) controller is typically in the form of a manual or digital dimmer module that is placed between the DC power supply and the LED strip. This approach is best suited for color changing applications or less permanent lighting installations.

LED Quantity & Quality-The efficiency, quality and stability of light output is directly determined by the LED emitters. Look for LED strip lights that place stringent quality controls and specifications on the LED emitters, and watch out for LED strips that claim a high power despite a low LED count, as this can indicate overdriving the LED emitters, leading to premature failure. You may have correctly read elsewhere that LEDs need effective thermal management for reliable operation. Higher quality LED strip light products actually underdrive the LEDs, and are designed to last tens of thousands of hours without any heatsinking. During operation, the LED strip can get warm to the touch, but the temperature rise is far below the thermal limits of the LEDs and circuitboard components. (Our products typically exhibit temperature rises of 55 F or 30 C over ambient temperatures, without any heatsinking). Choose simple materials: Rather than expensive materials like crystal or bronze, opt for more affordable options such as plastic or fabric. These materials are often just as attractive and long-lasting. Color temperature is a measure of how "warm" or "cool" the light's color appears. The soft glow of a traditional incandescent bulb has a low color temperature (2700K), while the crisp, bright white of natural daylight has a high color temperature (6500K).Another option for covering your strip light is to use a grommet. Start by threading the fabric through the grommet. Then, place the strip light inside the fabric and pull the fabric tight. Finally, use a hot glue gun to attach the fabric to the light strip. Method 8: Using a Wire Cover Some people think that this is not a problem, but it actually alters the natural spectrum of light. That means your plants won’t get all of their nutritional needs met. 9. Light Penetration If you want to cover a strip light already installed, then using a wire cover is the best option. Wire covers are available in different sizes and colors to match your decor. They are also easy to install and can be cut to fit any length of the strip light. The first way to cover a strip light is by using a lampshade. You need to find a lampshade that’s the right size for your light and then attach it using the screws on the light’s housing. Make sure that the lampshade is properly secured before turning on the light. Method 2: Using Adhesive Hook and Loop Tape
