LED rigid light bar strips provide you with versatility that your ordinary light bar cannot. Not only are they easy to install, they make for excellent mood lighting, too. If you want to enhance the look of your patio or add special lighting to your gazebo, then these lighting devices are certainly a must-have.
Shopping for LED Rigid Light Bar Strips
As with any product, it's important to have certain criteria to follow when shopping for LED strip lights. Here are some key considerations you should make when shopping for yours.
1. Lumen
If you've been around LEDs for a long period of time, then you know that lumen or brightness is what you should consider when shopping for lighting devices, not watts. Lumen is the measurement of brightness as perceived by the human eye. It is the most important factor to consider when shopping for rigid light bars and other lighting devices. When it comes to strip lights, consider how much lumen they can generate per meter. Also, consider where you'll be installing the lights. Remember, different projects need a certain amount of brightness to obtain expected results. If you're unsure, go brighter instead of dimmer.
2. CCT
CCT, which stands for correlated colour temperature, is the colour temperature of light as measure in degrees Kelvin (K). This affects what the light will look like. For example, strip lights with a colour temperature of 2,000 to 3,000 K will appear yellowish white. The higher you go up the scale, the bluish the light will appear. You might also consider CCT when buying LED flashlight.
3. Colour Rendering Index
Colour rendering index, or CRI, measures how colours would look like under a particular light source when compared to sunlight. CRI is measures from 0 to 100 and a score of 100 means that the colours under the light source have the same appearance as when they are under natural sunlight. A light source with CRI greater than 80 is suitable for most applications while those with more than 90 are often used in commercial art, film, and photography.
4. Wattage consumed per LED strip
Wattage tells you how much power the LED strips are consuming when they are turned on. Be sure to verify the wattage per meter or per reel before you buy. Also, be sure to check the voltage. Remember that your strip light that uses 12 volts won't work if you purchase a 24-volt power supply and vice versa.
Be sure to take these factors into consideration to ensure that you'll get the kind of LED light strips that you require. And while you're at it, consider buying a CREE LED flashlight that you can use during the installation process.
