How to illuminate the stairs with LED strips?
Solve your doubts and know the entire catalog of LED strips to illuminate stairs that we have in Greenice
In this category you can find all the types of LED strips that can serve to illuminate Your staircase. Check out the catalog and choose yours.
We always have many doubts when illuminating a ladder, Starting with which elements use to how to installation. Currently, A very simple way and that is becoming very famous is the use of strips of LED.
1 Types of LED strips
We have different types of LED strips that can serve us to These configurations, at a general rule, we have analog and digital LED strips. The analogs They can be monochromatic (one color), with variable color temperature (warm white, natural and cold), multicolored (rgb) and multicolored with white (RGBW), and the digital RGB in their entirety. Without Import the type of strip that has been selected, the following must be taken into account Presentations, LED strips can be 12 or 24 volts of direct current, and also They can be to connect directly to the 230V electric current, in the latter case, You only have the alternative of analog LED strips, in addition, that these strips have one important limitation for these types of facilities that can only be cut each meter, That is, you could not have, for example, a strip of 1.5 meters long.
2 Use LED strips on the steps
A very efficient way to illuminate the ladder is to use LED strips In the steps. However, the idea, although it is easy to imagine its way of installing is not so evident. Despite this, it is very easy, it is first necessary to select the strip that we are going to use. You have to take into account where we have the food, how much space we have and which It is the width of the step. Once the LED strip is selected, we must locate a profile for stairs that suits the dimensions of the LED strip. The most common and practical option is use 12v strips either 24 volts 8 to 10 millimeters wide, and They can cut every 5 or 10 centimeters, this will make the profile selection much easier, since Most of these profiles are designed for LED strips with these dimensions. There are several Types of profile based on what you want to illuminate, if you want to illuminate in front or if you are He wants to bathe the vertical part of the step (option widely used by designers).
3 How should the LED strips be connected?
Once the LED strip and the profile have been selected, the most important On a technical level, the connection, many wonder if we must connect all the strips in series or in parallel, the best option is undoubtedly, connect them in parallel The explanation is very simple, the ideal is to guarantee the same level of light in all the steps of the stairs, if We decided to connect the strips in series, the roller closest to the food will emit more light than The rung that remains further, because the tension in the first strip will be greater than the tension that receives the last. Therefore, we must try as much as possible to connect all the strips in parallel so that all sections receive the same electrical potential (voltage) thus achieving Obtain a uniform lighting level in all stairs.
