Everything you need to know about LED strips: structure, power, number of LEDs per meter.

The LED Strips and Tubes are ideal as decorative, ambient or architectural lighting. Different lighting projects can be acquired, where the limit is put by the client's imagination. Available in monocolor, RGB and different powers, they make it a very attractive product to illuminate any space.

To be able to talk about LED strips, we must first talk about the voltage ranges to which they work. We can find 4 ranges of stress that we are going to consider as the main ones. These are: 5 VDC, 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 220 VAC.

LED Strips 5 VDC: Within this range we can include the strips that have direct connection to a USB port and some Digital strips. They are not the most common that we can find in the market, although it is well quote them so that the user knows them.

LED strips 12/24 VDC: The advantages offered by this type of strips is that they can be cut every 5 cm in 12 VDC and 10 cm in 24 VDC. With this type of strips, more precise installations can be made than with the strips of direct connection to the network. An advantage of the same is that, when working in low voltage ranges, the manipulation of them is simpler and less dangerous. On the other hand, one drawback of working with this type of strips is the length of the installations. In GreenIce we recommend not to install more than 10 meters in order to avoid stress drops and therefore loss of illumination.

It is necessary to install a transformer that converts the current that pours the electrical network to the working tension of the strips.

220 VAC LED strips: This type of LED strips are a "modified" version. of the 12/24 VDC strips, so that they can be connected directly to the network through a power outlet. The main advantage, as we have said before, is that these LED strips are connected directly to the electrical network in such a way that we save the annoying transformer. In addition, with this type of strips the problem of the voltage drop does not exist so we can make facilities of 50 linear meters without any problem. Regarding the disadvantages, we can find that with this type of strips you can not make more precise installations because you can only make cuts every meter, so the facilities have to be 1 meter long .

Structure of the LED strips

Led strips are composed of three main elements. These are:

Resistance: The mission of the resistances in the Led strips is to limit the current that reaches the Led diodes. In this way, the current that reaches the chips is adequate and thus ensures proper operation of the strip.

PCB board: The functions of this board is to carry the power supply of the diodes and help to dissipate the heat produced. The quality of the PCB is determined by the thickness of it. The greater the thickness of the same, the greater the quality of the strip. In addition, the greater the thickness of the PCB, the larger it will be. the resistance to breakage of the strip.

LED Chip: Led strips have SMD type chips installed. The acronym SMD means, in its acronym in English, Surface Mounted Device or "Surface Mount Device". There are many types of SMD chips, the most used being the SMD 2835/3528. SMD 5050, SMD 3014 and SMD 5630. The numbers behind the acronym SMD refer to the measurements of the chips themselves. For example, the shape of an SMD 3528 chip is rectangular since its measurements are 35 mm x 28 mm, while the SMD 5050 chips have a square shape since their measurements are 50 mm x 50 mm.

Consumption and brightness

Entering a little more in the matter of the chips that use the Led strips, we will explain in a more detailed way the most used chips in the market and their main uses:

SMD strips 3528/2835.

This chip is used for strips of low power and low consumption. They have a low consumption are usually used in facilities where the light that is required is decorative. They are monochrome strips and the most economic option.

SMD 5050 strips

This type of strips have a higher consumption and provide more power than the SMD 3528. They are used for installations, where the luminous requirements are greater than a purely professional lighting. They are monochrome and multicolor strips (RGB).

SMD strips 3014

The most used when the purpose is decorative. They have a higher density of Led's on the strip so that the illumination it provides is of high intensity and continuously. They are strips with a low consumption, but with an exceptional luminous performance.

SMD Strips 5630 strong>

They provide a greater amount of light with the same consumption of SMD 5050 strips. They are used for installations where a high luminous power is required. These strips are monochrome and used in professional installations where high power is required.

Amount of LED's per meter

The amount of LED's in the meter directly affects the luminosity provided by the LED strips and their consumption. Depending on the lighting objective that is required, it should be; use one type of strip or another. Then, we show a rule to choose properly the strip that best suits your needs as a function of the LED 's / meter that has the strip.

30 LED's / meter: On-site lighting. Very used to highlight the selected elements in a tenuous way.

60 LED's / meter: Used to provide a standard lighting. Used for integration in moldings, corridors, bar bars, etc.

120 LED's / meter: For when the luminous requirements are high. Widely used for signage, outdoor lighting, etc.

Basic concepts of Led Strips

The main difference between the strips Analog And digital are the channels for which they are formed. The analogue RGB strips have 4 channels, being the Power (12/24 V), the Red (R), the Green (G) and the Blue (B). On the other hand, the digital strips are made up of 4 or 3 channels depending on the type of chip that the RGB digital LED strip is made of. For example, the WS2811 and WS2812 strips are composed of only three channels being the power supply (5 VDC or 12 VDC), Ground (GND) and data. by the otherwise, The UC1903 or SC6803 chip strips are formed by 4 channels being the power supply (12 VDC), ground (GND, clock (CLK) and data.
Within the world of digital strips there are multiple models of chips. Some of them are the following: TM1803, TM1804, TM1809, TM1812, UCS1903, UCS1909, UCS1912, UCS2903, UCS2909, UCS2912.
The transformer is the most important element when designing a 12/24 VDC LED strip installation Since, if we perform a poor sizing of the installation, what we will achieve is to damage the strip and not be able to perform the installation correctly. When calculating the power that has to take into account the transformer, we have to know the consumption per meter of the LED strip. For example:
The SMD 5050 LED strip with reference PL219009 has a consumption of 72W for every 5 meters. This every meter has a consumption of 14.4 W/meter. Once we have clear this data, the next step is to multiply by the meters of installation. If we want to make an installation of 8 meters of this strip, the installation will have a consumption of 115.2 W. The transformer we will have to choose will be from 200w. When choosing the transformer, it is recommended to leave a margin of 10-20% so that the transformer does not work at 100% at any time.
Inside the LED strips we can find 4 voltage ranges that we will consider how the main ones. These are: 5VDC, 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 220 VAC.
- 5 VDC LED Strips: Within this section we can encompass the strips that have direct connection to a USB port and some digital strips. are not the most common we can find in the market, although it is well to quote them for the user Know.
- 12/24 VDC LED Strips: This type of strips is common in the GreenIce catalog. As for the advantages that we offer this type of strips is that can be cut every 5 cm in 12 VDC and 10 cm in 24 VDC. With this type of strips, more precise installations can be made than with the strips of direct connection to network. In addition, the Working in low voltage ranges, handling them is simpler and less dangerous. The main drawback of working with this type of strips is the length of the facilities. From GreenIce we recommend not to make installations of more than 10 meters so as not to have voltage drops and therefore loss of Lighting, In addition, it is necessary to install a transformer that converts the current that pours the mains power to the working voltage of the strips. This condition is a handicap in some facilities where a transformer cannot be installed.
- 220 VAC LED Strips: This type of strips is a "modified" version of the 12/24 VDC strips so that they can be connected directly to the mains by means of an outlet. The main advantage, how we mentioned earlier, is that these LED strips are connected directly to the power grid so that we save the so annoying transformer. In addition, with this type of strips the problem of the voltage drop does not exist so that we can make installations of 50 meters linear without any problem. As for the drawbacks, we can find that with this type of strips cannot make more precise installations because you can only make cuts every meter, so the facilities have to be multiples of 1 meter. Also, when working in a high voltage range, it is necessary to be more cautious in its installation and handling.
 Like the rest of the products that use LEDs as a lighting source, the 220v strips and hoses have LEDs that work in direct current, therefore, require a rectifier that converts the alternating current into direct current to make That the LEDs work correctly. The following is an example of a typical driver plug for 220v SMD2835 220v led strips.
This plug would be connected directly to the mains (220VAC) and by means of the rectifier (white box) converts the electrical power of alternating current into direct current, finally, it has the connector for the strips and a skewer.
RGB strips can provide the Red colors, blue and green because they have integrated a chip of the colors previously named. In order to obtain more colors, you need to install a controller that will manage when each one is activated, so that one color or another is obtained. It then shows you how to get different colors depending on how you mix the red, green and blue.
 The number of LEDs on the meter directly affects the luminosity provided by the LED strips and their consumption. Depending on the lighting objective you need you will have to use one type of strip or another. Next, we show a rule to properly choose the strip that best suits your needs depending on the LEDs/meter that has the strip.
- 30 LEDs/meter: lighting in person. Used to highlight the selected items in a dim way.
60 LEDs/meter: Used to provide standard lighting. Used for integration in moldings, walkways, bar bars, etc.
- 120 LEDs/meter: for when the lighting requirements are high. Very used for signage, outdoor lighting, etc.
Entering a little more on the chips that use the LED strips, we will explain more detailed the most used chips in the market and its main uses.
- SMD strips 3528/2835 This type of chip is used for low power strips and low consumption. How they have a low consumption are usually used in facilities where the light required is decorative. They are monochromatic strips and the most economical option.
- Strips SMD 5050 This type of LED strips has a higher consumption and provide more power than the SMD 3528. They are used for installations, where lighting requirements are greater than a purely professional illumination. They are monochromatic and multicolor strips (RGB).
- SMD Strips 3014 This type of strips is more used when the purpose is decorative. Have a higher density of LEDs On the strip so that the lighting it provides is high intensity and continuously. They are strips with low consumption, but with exceptional luminous performance.
- SMD 5630 strips This type of strips provides a greater amount of light with the same consumption of SMD 5050 strips. This type of strips is used for installations where high light power is required. These strips are monochrome and used in professional installations where high power is required.
RGB products are built with red, green and blue LEDs, in some cases located on the same chip and in others on three separate chips, thanks to this configuration it is possible to make color mixes controlling the power in each color, thus obtaining a wide range of colors.
Primary Colors: Red (R), Green (G) and Blue (B).
Secondary colors: Yellow, pink, turquoise blue, orange, purple and "white".
The primary colors are the ones that provide any RGB product we have in the catalog. The secondary colors are obtained from the blend of the primary colors, so to perform this effect is necessary a controller.
The wavelengths of the colors are as follows:
Red: 625-740 nm
Orange: 590-625 nm
Yellow: 565-590 nm
Green: 500-565 nm
Cian: 485-500 nm
Blue: 440-485 nm
Violet: 380-440 nm
