LED strip lights mostly used in hotel lighting, commercial lighting, home lighting and other indoor areas. In the past few years, outdoor landscape lighting is very popular, due to the low threshold of entry of LED strip, resulting in a large number of enterprises to pile up the production of LED strip, some of these lights are also used in landscape lighting, but due to product quality and technical issues, now rarely see LED strip mass application in outdoor buildings.

At present, from the market, the material of strip light are mostly PVC and PU , silicone strip light is mostly the hot silicone . Cold silicone ribbon is divided into two kinds of forward bending and lateral bending. The characteristics of cold silicone ribbon are firstly reflected in the anti-UV, almost unaffected by UV characteristics, and solve the problem of yellowing in outdoor applications.

Secondly, the outdoor strip light must solve the problem of weather resistance.  If the strip should be used in the space environment between -40℃~65℃, For example, which is not the common strip can withstand. If the strip in the 40 ℃ space for 30 minutes, and instantly switch the temperature to 105 ℃ or 65 ℃, so the cycle of 50 ~ 100 back and forth, the strip can still not fail.

Third, the structural stability of the cold silicone strip is relatively high, without the problems of peeling off and deformation that are easy to occur in general outdoor applications. The collision prevention grade is also very high, and the highest can also reach IQ10 collision prevention grade.

Compared with the traditional point light source lanterns, the light strip applied to outdoor buildings also has some advantages.

First, the installation of the light strip is a split structure, its bottom bracket and the light strip is separated, which makes it easy for later maintenance, such as bad lamps and lanterns, do not need to remove the entire lamp, just pull out the light strip and replace it with a new one. While the traditional lamps and lanterns need to disassemble the whole set of lamps and lanterns, which will produce some damage to the application carrier.

Second, the light band solves the problem of super voltage drop. Pressure drop a power supply in one direction can reach 16 meters, the longest can reach 20 meters, equivalent to 4, 5 floors for a strong power, greatly firm up the strong and weak wire pipe laying inside afterwards. And the traditional installation method is next to the lamps and lanterns will have a wire pipe to take the main power or weak point, and they do not need. This also significantly reduces the installation and use of wire and cable.

Third, the strips last longer, have more vibrant colors, and are responsive, and each building can also be connected to each other wirelessly to form a whole. These buildings pass to the video strip, just like a computer monitor can switch images as needed, either playing different images or the same image.

In the past two years, the cultural tourism lighting is hot, and there are many application scenes of the light band in the cultural tourism project, such as the railings in the park. The biggest characteristic of flexible strip lighting is that it can be bent and curved, which can be perfectly combined with the irregular shape of the railing.

Strip light display with 512 DMS control

Beside the most prominent flexible strip products, there are also wall wash lights derived from flexible panels. Flexible board made out of wall wash lights, more small, more hidden, more confidential. General wall washer lights are very large, and the smallest wall washer light has done 1.9 cm, the power is generally standard 16W,and the biggest is 22 watts.

The wall washer light uses an integrated lens, as opposed to a lens that would have the problem of complementing each other, the integrated lens is a one-time light output. The use of multi-layer flexible circuit board technology, the circuit technology condensed together, a board of about 0.5 mm can do four layers of circuit, so the body is very small. Not only that, the wall washer light can also have DMS with control signal function, can change color, break control, open video, etc.

At present, the domestic market order is still relatively chaotic. There are fewer factories in this field of outdoor mass application of light strips, which is also an opportunity and a challenge. More light band manufacturers are required to import the concept of mass application of light bands in outdoor next, so that more owners can understand and accept. At the same time, continue to constantly focus on flexible technology, and constantly develop more flexible lighting products.
