1. Indoor installation: When the LED light strip is used for indoor decoration, the installation is very simple because it does not have to withstand wind and rain. Generally, self-adhesive 3M double-sided tape is affixed to the back of many LED light strips. When installing, you can directly remove the sticker on the surface of the 3M double-sided tape, and then install the lamp in the place where it needs to be installed. Just press it flat by hand.
2. Outdoor installation: Outdoor installation is subject to wind and rain. If 3M glue is used to fix it, the 3M glue will decrease over time and cause the LED strip to fall off. Therefore, outdoor installation often adopts card slot fixing. The place that needs to be cut and connected is the same as indoor installation, except that it needs to be equipped with waterproof glue to consolidate the waterproof effect of the connection point.
3. Power connection method: The general voltage of the LED light strip is DC 12V, so a switching power supply is required. The size of the power supply is determined according to the power and connection length of the LED light strip. If you don't want each LED strip to be controlled by a power supply, you can buy a relatively large switching power supply as the total power supply, and then connect all the LED strip input power supplies in parallel, and the total power supply is uniformly powered by the total switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be controlled centrally. The inconvenience is that the lighting effect and switch control of a single LED strip cannot be realized. The specific method can be measured by yourself.
4. Controller connection mode: LED marquee strips and RGB full-color light strips need to use a controller to achieve the changing effect, and the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of a simple controller is 10 to 15 meters, the control distance of the remote controller is 15 to 20 meters, and the longest distance can be controlled up to 30 meters. If the connection distance of the LED strip is long, and the controller cannot control that long strip, then a power amplifier is needed for tapping.
