Selecting LED Strip Light.

Discover the key factors to consider and find the perfect lighting solution for your needs.

Voltage options:

LED strip lights Australia come in two voltage options, 12V and 24V, so your choice should depend on your application and power needs; 24V strips generally offer greater brightness and efficiency, while 12V strips may be less costly and simpler to work with.

Color Temperature:

It measures color temperature, or how warm or cool we perceive light, by its Kelvin value. Lower temperatures (2700K-3000K) produce warmer, cozier lighting effects while higher temperatures (6500K-6500K) provide cooler and crisper lighting effects. When selecting strip lighting fixtures that best meet both your aesthetic preferences and usage requirements.

Lumens and Brightness Lumens:

Lumens and Brightness Lumens (lm) measure how much light strip lights produce; more lumens equates to brighter illumination. When selecting an LED strip lighting product, be mindful both of its brightness as well as how large an area you wish to illuminate.

Beam Angle:

Beam Angle A LED strip light's beam angle determines its lighting effect, with wider (120deg or greater) beam angles diffusing light more evenly, while narrower beam angles (less than 120deg) concentrating it more tightly - so choose accordingly depending on what effect you want to create!

Five Benefits of Installing LED Downlights in Your Home | AGM Electrical Supplies

Image
  There is an almost limitless variety of lighting solutions for home use; traditional incandescent lamps to fluorescent and LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting offer homeowners plenty of choices. Of these options, LED has quickly become the go-to solution due to its many advantages - and we will explore five compelling reasons you should install LED downlights into your home. Energy Efficiency One of the primary attractions of LED downlights is their superior energy efficiency. As opposed to conventional incandescent lamps that consume significant amounts of energy as both heat and light, LED downlights convert almost all of this consumed energy directly into visible light; providing homeowners with significant cost-cutting potential. LED downlights use up to 80 percent less energy, leading to significant savings on electric bills over time. Furthermore, their longer lifespan reduces replacement frequency resulting in further cost and energy savings. Making the switch from incand...

 LED lighting has rapidly gained in popularity as energy efficient and environmentally-friendly lighting alternatives, yet as with all new technology it has led to numerous myths and misconceptions which prevent customers from fully realizing its advantages. We will dispel several myths associated with LED lights in this article to help make an informed decision when selecting your lighting options. Myth # 1:LEDs Produce Harmful UV Rays  One popular and widely held misconception about LED lighting sources is that they emit hazardous ultraviolet (UV) rays; this, however, is simply not true as LEDs actually emit much lower levels of UV radiation than traditional bulbs such as fluorescent or incandescent lamps - leading to them often being chosen in museums and art galleries to better preserve artifacts and artwork in these sensitive environments. Myth 2: LED Lights Generate Excess Heat  The most widely held belief about LEDs is that they generate excessive heat. While t...
