Product Information

There are two primary types of colored LED strip: fixed single color, and color changing. A fixed color LED strip emits just one color, and the operating principle is just like the white LED strips we discussed above. A color-changing LED strip consists of multiple color channels on a single LED strip. The most basic type will include red, green and blue channels (RGB), allowing you to dynamically mix the various color components on the fly to achieve virtually any color. There are a number of different materials that can be used to cover led lights. Some common options include: There are a few reasons you might want to cover a strip light. First, it can be a great way to save on energy costs. And secondly, it can help keep your home well-lit without emitting a lot of heat. So if you’re looking for a simple way to cover your strip light, read on for three easy methods! Required Materials When finding the LED transformer you need, there are three main factors you have to take into consideration:

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 are a variety of ways to join LED strip lights, so it’s easy to find a method that’s best for you. Adding a connecting clip to the end of a strip light makes it easy to connect it to another ribbon light. Another potential issue with covering LED lights is light penetration. As we have mentioned before, some covers may not allow all of the light to get out, which can cause an unnatural spectrum. 10. Life Span Plastic sheeting: Plastic sheeting can be cut to the desired size and shape, and then covered with a material such as cloth or vinyl sheeting. This option is durable and weatherproof, making it ideal for use in outdoor areas. To connect your LED strip lights, we would suggest two different methods. You can either use a connector for easy attachment, or you can solder the wires to the strip - which carries more current and creates a more stable connection. Whichever method you choose, ensure that you are cutting your LED strip lights along the marked cut points to ensure your lights will work if necessary.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). Additionally, avoid covering LED lights in a way that restricts airflow or traps excessive heat, as this may cause the LED lights to overheat, reducing their lifespan and potentially posing safety risks. By taking these precautions and selecting appropriate covering materials, it is possible to cover LED lights safely while achieving the desired lighting effects. Why Should You Cover Led Lights?

To get started, you will firstly need to take measurements of the intended installation area and choose the LED strip lights that best suit your needs. From natural, warm and cool lighting to dimmable strip lights and colour-changing bulbs, there are a variety of options to choose from. 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.Creating the desired finish with any chosen LED strip lights is easy with our range of LED diffusers. Available in 2 and 3-metre options and designed to fit specific LED Profiles, our LED diffusers can be cut to bespoke lengths to match the profile it is fitting into, ensuring every desired finish and ambience is catered for.

Next, attach the strip light cover according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This may involve using clips, adhesive, or a snap-on mechanism, depending on the design of the cover and the strip light fixture. Ensure that the cover is securely attached along the entire length of the strip light and that there are no gaps or loose sections that could allow unfiltered light to escape or cause the cover to detach.Sometimes known as ‘fast connectors’, these are easily applied by hand and will connect LED strip lights in seconds. LED strip lights are available in a range of sizes, with lengths ranging from 1m to 10m. Although, if you want to cut LED strip lights to size, feel free.
