LED lighting: a revolution in lighting
LED light strips have become one of the most modern and popular lighting solutions worldwide in recent years. Architects, interior designers, and lighting designers are integrating LED light strips in private homes, commercial areas, and industrial projects alike, at an increasing pace.
The reasons for the rapid growth of LED light strips are their efficiency, the bright light they provide, ease of installation, and the ability to assemble them in a variety of colors. With LED light strips, anyone can design lighting like a professional, easily, quickly, and at an affordable price.
When it comes to LED light strips, there are many diverse options on the market, from colored LED strips to waterproof strips. Before deciding which type of LED strip to purchase, there are several things to consider:
What type of lighting do I need?
Every project is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution for every space and purpose. Consider parameters such as:
- What do you need to illuminate?
- Where do you want to install the light strips?
- How do you want to control the light intensity, and what overall look do you want to achieve?
- Do you want white light or color-changing options?
The answers to these questions generally guide you quickly to the product you need.
Light intensity and what is Lumen?
We are all used to measuring light intensity in watts, but the more important measurement unit in LED lighting is Lumen. Lumens refer to the amount of light emitted or absorbed by a specific surface. It is an important measure in lighting, graphics, and optics, used to evaluate the brightness or intensity of light sources, as well as to compare the light intensity of various sources.
Light intensity, when it comes to LED lighting, also affects the price and electricity consumption costs. However, when it comes to LED light strips, the electricity consumption costs are relatively low, as it is a very energy-efficient product. Therefore, in this case, light intensity, or Lumen, is primarily important on a design level, and it is important to ask the following questions:
- What is the size of the space?
- What are we illuminating, and how much light do we need to achieve the desired result?
Our advice is always to go for relatively high intensity, even if you think there is no need - because you can always dim it down. This way, you can always lower the intensity if it is too high while knowing that you have all the options.
Product quality
It is reasonable to assume that you are looking for a lighting system that you can use for years. Make sure your LED strips last as long as possible, do not require excessive maintenance or frequent replacement, and are safe for you and your environment. To do this, you need to check the quality of the product.
First of all, check if the LED strips have thermal control. Heat = death for LED lights, so you need to ask the seller if the product you are purchasing has control over its heating.
Second, make sure the product is approved by the Standards Institution of Israel and is safe for use.
Finally, try to find recommendations for the business from which you are purchasing the LED strips and compare between different places until you find the right one.
