The Ultimate Guide to Choosing LED Strip Lights

LED strip lights have become a popular choice for home decoration due to their flexibility.

1. Type of Strip Light

Single-color strips are the most common. Dual-color temperature strips allow adjustable color temperature. RGB strips can change colors, while RGBW strips combine color with white light.

2. LED Density

30 LEDs per meter is suitable for indirect lighting in coves; 60 LEDs per meter is standard density; 120 LEDs per meter offers high density without dark spots.

3. Waterproof Rating

IP20 is not waterproof and is for indoor use only. IP65 is splash-proof and suitable for kitchens and bathrooms. IP67 can be briefly immersed and is suitable for outdoor use.

4. Color Temperature and CRI

For home use, 3000K-4000K is recommended, and the color rendering index should be above 80.
