The
flexibility of the LED strips can be a determining factor in their application.
Rigid strips are perfect for replacing fluorescent tubes for instance, though
there is hardly anything you would not be able to do with a flexible strip
either. On flat surfaces it is sometimes easier to work with rigid strips,
though applied on ceilings or walls - I guess many of you have come across this
problem before - what appears to be flat for the eye is far from straight once
examined with a spirit level. So, flexibility is more often a grace than a
burden.
If
you are planning to install led strip
distributor at wet or humid places, outdoors, or maybe even under water,
then your items need to be partially or completely waterproof. 100% waterproof
items have the IP rating of 68.
The
variety of moods or atmospheres that can be created with strip lights is
incredibly large and a lot depends on the accessories you use with them, like
dimmers or controllers. Although the largest variety of RGB effects are created
with panels, where there is no limit to the effects used other than our imagination,
there is a lot you can do with strips too, applying complex controllers, like
the DMX, allowing you to set the rhythm of colour change to music. Dimming is
always simply attainable, though most strips require a dimmer specifically
manufactured for LEDs.
