Rope light - LED strips are considered flexible and energy-saving lighting alternatives. But what criteria do I use to select an LED strip from a multitude of offers? How long does an LED strip light last? Many questions, to which we will give answers in the following article.Why are LED strip lights so popular?When LED technology became suitable for the masses and was available inexpensively everywhere, completely new and very flexible possibilities for the decoration and lighting of houses, apartments and other areas of life opened up for us consumers. Small dimensions, flexibility, enormous service life, good light output and different color rendering are still the most important positive properties of LED light strips. Of course, saving high energy costs and the lack of alternatives to LEDs also play an important role. Constant competition between manufacturers also leads to falling production costs and end consumer prices. Many of the products are operated with 12 V or 24 V and are therefore not dangerous in use.Where are LED strips used?The areas of application of the LED strips are hardly limited. Thanks to the use of high-power LEDs, you can use the products as the main light. But LED strips are also ideally suited as decorative lighting on and in cupboards, in various niches or to illuminate the work area in the kitchen. In the commercial sector, you can use it to illuminate goods and offers in shop windows and shelves. TipUnder no circumstances should LED strips be severely bent or kinked. This can break circuit paths or damage LEDs, resistors and contacts. You can achieve breathtaking lighting effects with RGB strips or color-changing strips. Typically, the color and brightness of such a band is controlled by a remote control. You can adapt the lighting to your current mood, especially in quiet places. Of course, waterproof versions are also available. You can light up gardens, facades, terraces or use them to simulate the daily routine in the aquarium. Car lovers use colored LED strips to illuminate the underbody of the car, the rims or the license plate. In architecture, planners set great accents with LED strips. Creative solutions include colored facades and window frames, indirectly illuminated walls or illuminated baseboards.In other words: due to the wide range of design options, LED strips have become indispensable and are used in the design of almost every interior.Image: EVN SB542430509902 LED stripWhat is the difference between LED strips?The offer is huge. The Internet is full of special offers, which are made in China with the cheapest components, imported in huge quantities and sold at cheap prices. We also offer hundreds of variants here in the eibabo® shop, but the majority of them are from well-known manufacturers. It is not that easy to find the right product for individual use. So what selection criteria should you consider?Does the product come from a well-known manufacturer?How long is the lifespan?What power supply is required?Do I want monochrome or colored LEDs?Which tape is best?How many LEDs should be installed per meter?Does the product have to be waterproof?What length do I need?Does the tape have to withstand special conditions such as heat or mechanical loads?and much more So pay attention to the information in the product descriptions and put the price in the background. Why? You will find out in the next section.What affects the quality of an LED strip?All tapes look more or less the same and the reason for a price difference is often not apparent even at second glance. However, what matters most to you as a consumer is its lifespan, delivering a constant level of brightness over that period, and its power consumption. The heart of an LED is its crystal. This is created as part of a complex process that requires a lot of technology, knowledge and experience. Few companies rise to the challenge of producing perfect crystals. However, these are the basis for a high-quality end product. The lifetime of such a crystal is determined by its degradation. definitionDegradation is the aging process of the crystal, which causes an LED to become progressively dimmer over its life cycle. Degradation leads to a drop in luminous flux over time. With high-quality goods, the luminous flux drops by around 2% for 10,000 hours of operation. Inferior LEDs lose up to 20% of their luminous flux in the same time. However, this development does not only depend on the crystal, but also on the design of the LED body and its connections. An LED gets very hot during operation and the better the heat is dissipated, the more sophisticated the housing and the longer the service life of the LED. The design of the contact connections is also important. In a circuit there are usually several LED chips in series plus resistors. Surely you have already seen that with poor-quality soldering of the chips, the entire serial circuit on a certain section of the LED tape fails, or individual colors stop working.Already knew?LEDs do not emit white light. White light is created from the mixture of equal parts of all spectral colors. If none of these colors dominates, the light appears white, more precisely not colored.Depending on the type of tape, the white light color is mixed from red, green and blue light. However, this mixed white looks very unnatural. So-called RGBW tapes therefore have an additional LED, which emits high-quality white light. In other words: the production of LEDs with white light is complicated. It is usually formed by passing blue light through a yellow phosphor. Depending on the phosphor, the 'white' LED lights up more yellowish or more bluish. It is therefore important before manufacturing an LED strip to select and calibrate the individual LEDs according to various criteria. This step is time-consuming and is not carried out by all manufacturers. In particular, because the manufacturers of LED strips are not necessarily the producers of the LEDs. The use of different LEDs from different batches or producers leads to an uneven light pattern of the white light. With LED strips, the uniformity of the white glow is therefore a quality feature.power adapterThe power supply should provide enough power for the LED strip. An LED light strip with a length of 5 meters and a power consumption of 20 watts per meter requires a 100 watt power supply. Please plan an additional 10% reserve.An LED emits light in a specific direction. In order to achieve uniformity here too, lenses and other optical elements are used. The higher the quality, the better the color rendering and the lower the loss of luminous flux.How do I know if an LED strip is high quality?Now you know how (at least in part) the price difference comes about. If you want to enjoy your LED strip for a long time, invest a few euros more. The difference isn't huge, but it will save you trouble and early repairs. You can use the following tests to better assess the quality of an LED strip:tip 1Check the 'white' light the tape produces. Blue, yellow or reddish deviations should not occur. Contrasting sunglasses may make it easier to spot differences.tip 2A noticeable decrease in brightness on the last LEDs of a band indicates poor quality of certain components.tip 3If it is not possible to test the LED strip before buying it, a look at the soldering points between the LEDs and the carrier material will help. All solder points should look the same. Make sure that the conductor tracks on the carrier material are as wide and thick as possible. In the case of inferior goods, conductor tracks that are too weak lead to an increased voltage drop and thus to differences in brightness.tip 4Choose products from companies with many years of experience in the field of household lighting, including LED. They value a good reputation, have long-established contacts with suppliers and are unlikely to produce inferior goods. Pay attention to the guarantee.

Led control - A simple, glowing LED no longer surprises anyone. But adding features and intelligence is already more interesting. Are you also interested in using the full potential of your LED lighting? Then this catalog from the eibabo® shop is just right for you. We offer you dimmers, controllers and other options for individual control.Perhaps you want your installations to fulfill many tasks at once and to anticipate your wishes and needs through intelligent planning. This means that lighting changes color or intensity depending on the time of day or the weather, for example. Or that personal presence has an influence on the LED lighting. There are many control options. We offer you the equipment you need for this.What is an LED controller?Modern lighting offers a wide range of possibilities. The main task is certainly to improve visibility in space. But light also increases comfort and helps regulate human biorhythms. In the commercial environment, targeted lighting supports purchasing behavior and thus increases sales. These possibilities have become more versatile and, above all, cheaper due to the development and spread of LED technology. LEDs save a lot of energy compared to conventional light sources, are more compact and can be used much more flexibly. The use of high-quality control systems for LEDs raises your lighting to a completely different level. This allows you to design your installations as efficiently as possible while taking your individual needs into account. Regulate the brightness of individual lamps, control the lighting level according to a schedule or other parameters, or program scenarios using a PC or smartphone.NoticeAdditional components from the field of building automation are required for the implementation of programmable comfort solutions. Sensors and actuators are available in our 'Smart Home' main catalogue.In this catalog you will find LED controls that you can tailor to your lighting concept. Our range includes, among other things:LED transformers and power suppliesLED converter and driverDimmer for 12V and 24V, cable dimmer, wireless dimmerInline controller and touch controller, RGB controllerfully-fledged DMX controls and LED controls for bus systems such as KNX or DALIremote controls An LED control ensures the power supply and voltage supply, receives the switching commands or dimming information and controls the respective LEDs.Image: EVN PLK673540 LED power supplyWhat should I look out for with LED power supplies?A power supply is a voltage source that converts the mains voltage (230 V in Europe) into 12 V, 24 V or another required operating voltage. To supply voltage to LED strips and LED modules, switching power supplies are most often used in conjunction with resistors as current limiters. Already knew?Unlike power supplies, LED drivers act as current sources without current limiters. For example, to choose a power supply for an LED strip, you should pay attention to the following factors:Operating voltage of the LED stripTotal power of the LED stripIP rating (the need to protect the power supply case from water and dust)Dimensions of the power supply The operating voltage of an LED strip can be 12V, 24V and sometimes 36V. The output voltage of the power pack must correspond to this value. There are also power supplies where you can continuously adjust the output voltage. This may be necessary if you have to compensate for voltage drops due to long lines. The total output of the LED strip results from its wattage, which is usually specified per meter. When calculating the wattage of the power supply, multiply the wattage by the length of the strip and then add approximately 25% safety margin. This prevents a power supply from constantly running at the limit. When selecting the IP protection class, consider the installation location. In the control cabinet or other normally dry rooms, IP20 is usually sufficient. Use in damp rooms and outside of buildings requires a higher degree of protection. The size of the power supply becomes interesting if you want to install it in the control cabinet. Space is often limited here.How do LED power supplies differ from LED drivers?To understand the difference between LED power supplies and LED drivers, you need to understand the importance of current and voltage within an electrical circuit. You should also know that LEDs are fundamentally:be operated with direct currentneed constant voltagecannot independently limit the flowing currentbecome more conductive the more they heat up Most electrical devices and electronic components require a power source to operate. An LED power supply provides this voltage, for example 12 V. This means: If LED lighting is designed for operation with 12 V, its actual power consumption is irrelevant. So the power supply only stabilizes the voltage. The driver, on the other hand, is a power source for LED lamps. This regulates the current, but not the voltage. A driver stabilizes the current flow and never exceeds its optimal current level - no matter how many LEDs are connected.In short: the driver is a current source, the power supply is a voltage source.Depending on the design and the supply voltage supplied, the LEDs have different resistances, which limit the current flow. Crystals are responsible for these resistances in LED strips, for example. By using an LED power supply you get a stable voltage. This will prevent the crystals from overheating and burning out. If you increase the voltage above normal, the resistance can drop sharply. This causes the crystals to overheat. Conductivity increases and power consumption increases. This will likely cause the LEDs to fail.The advantage of the driver over power supplies is that it provides the crystals with constant power without resistance. Accordingly, the LEDs shine much brighter than when using a power supply unit with the same power. In addition, the driver increases the lifespan of the LEDs because it never exceeds the optimum (and critical for the crystals) current. It is important to note that there are drivers:which can be used for any number of LEDs as long as their total power is lower than the power of the driver itselfwhich are only designed for a certain number of LEDs But a driver also has disadvantages. Using a higher number of LEDs is problematic. Depending on the driver parameters, only a certain (or maximum) number of LEDs can be connected to it. In addition, drivers for certain LEDs usually cannot be used anywhere else.A driver is always the best solution if you:set up LED lighting without resistors (e.g. without LED strips).plan stable operation of all connected LEDs without ever turning off some of them individually You should prefer a power supply unit if you:Insert LEDs with resistorsswitch off part of your lighting on a regular basis, thereby changing the required voltage and current How do I choose LED dimmers?You can use both leading edge dimming (RC) and trailing edge dimming (RL) to dim LEDs. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine. Dimming LEDsWhether an LED lamp is dimmable is stated on its packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any information, the LED cannot be dimmed. Before you decide on an LED dimmer, you should be sure about the type of lamps used. For 220V LED lamps it is better to choose trailing edge dimmers. For 12 V LED lamps, we recommend choosing a controller with pulse width modulation.What is DMX control?DMX is a special software protocol that allows you to create complex lighting scenarios, adjust various light parameters and create original special effects. A standard DMX controller is a device that you use to control and regulate these lighting parameters.Term DMXDMX stands for Digital Multiplex and is a digital standard for controlling stage technology, lighting technology and event technology such as dimmers, spotlights, moving head spots and other devices for lighting effects.DMX is a system with which you can 'merge' all the lighting fixtures in a room into one. This protocol allows you, as the user of the controller, to work with numerous control channels at the same time. Each individual channel is responsible for a specific parameter of a specific lighting object. This means that several channels can be concentrated in one device at the same time. By combining parameters you create the most complex light variations. The scenarios are parameterized directly on the computer via a conventional USB interface. Special software is required for this.

Ceiling-/wall luminaire - Looking for the perfect lamp? In this catalog you can expect a huge selection of different ceiling lights and wall lights at top conditions. You're sure to find what you're looking for here - whether you prefer modern LED technology or love the charming retro look.Wall lights and ceiling lights - atmospheric or functional lighting for living rooms and work areasIn almost all living areas, commercial spaces or offices, ceiling lights and wall lights provide the basic lighting. The position on the ceiling is ideal for distributing the light evenly throughout the room. This makes life more comfortable on dark days or allows you to work at night. But which lamp should you choose, since there is an almost endless choice? We would like to make your decision easier with a small guide.Which wall light or ceiling light is the right one?Before you decide for or against a specific model, you are sure to ask yourself many questions that narrow down the selection. Mostly it is about the appearance of the lamp. Since this selection criterion is very subjective, we do not want to go into more detail at this point. As a specialist for Smart Home and building automation, eibabo® is an online mail order business that focuses on technology. That is why we 'light' the topic here from this angle.In addition to the look, which criteria are still decisive in order to find the right wall light or ceiling light?The place of use: Where do you attach the light? Is the lamp exposed to special conditions (wet rooms, dusty workshop, living room)? Do you have to clean the lamp often?Usage: Do you use the light for many hours every day or only occasionally?The fixture: is the room high enough for a pendant light? What substrate is to be expected (concrete, steel beams, wood)?The light intensity: Are you planning the luminaire as the main lighting? Would you like to create a special mood?Color temperature and color rendering: the color of the light is often crucial. A work area with people requires a different light spectrum than lighting fruit or meat. Warm light is preferred for living rooms.The shape of the light cone: do you need the light to be concentrated (e.g. via spotlights) or should a large area be illuminated?The opportunity to change: Would you like a color change? Would you like to be able to change the direction of the beam angle? Is there a need for expansion later?The lighting technology: Do you prefer conventional light sources? Do these have to be interchangeable? What are the advantages and disadvantages of LEDs? How important is power consumption?Smart home integration: will the light become part of the building automation? What conditions are in place or need to be created? Wall lights and ceiling lights for offices and workplacesEfficient and fatigue-free work is also a question of the right light. Working on a computer or studying files over the course of a long workday can cause eyestrain. It is therefore important that the light can be adapted to changing conditions. Large-area light strips or grid lights are usually used for professional applications. Such lighting can be found, for example, in hotels and restaurants or conference rooms, in shops and other commercially used rooms.Already knew?The lighting of office workplaces is regulated in the European standard DIN EN 12464-1. It should serve the health and safety of people at their workplace and ensure optimal visual performance and the best possible visual comfort.In Germany, the Workplaces Ordinance and an occupational health and safety rule for lighting also apply. Other countries have their own regulations. It doesn't matter whether your workplace is in an open-plan office or whether you work from home most of the time. Good lighting increases the feel-good factor during working hours. In other words: The lighting must be suitable for all the tasks that arise in the office and must be selected accordingly. This includes working on the screen as well as writing and reading texts at the desk. TIP:Additional lighting is also required for screen work. The stark contrast between a bright screen and a dark room strains the eyes. When choosing the right lights for the workplace, pay attention to the following things:The illuminance at the workplace is given in lux (lumens per m²). Depending on the type of activity, 500 to 1,500 lux are recommended. The power of a lamp is usually stated on its packaging.The color temperature of light is given in Kelvin. A color temperature of 3,300 to 5,300 Kelvin is recommended for office workplaces. In the industrial sector, workshops and the like, it may be over 5,300 Kelvin. This light is similar to daylight, has a higher proportion of blue and activates the biorhythm.The color rendering can influence the purchase decision. The Color Rendering Index (CRI) says something about how natural the colors of an illuminated object appear. This is therefore a quality feature for a light source and is important, for example, in the food industry or the fashion industry.A lamp should not dazzle, neither directly nor indirectly. On the one hand one speaks of physiological glare, which causes an actual disturbance of the visual function, and on the other hand of psychological glare. This is a purely subjective and individual disturbance.Avoid flickering lights. Surely you know this from a defective fluorescent tube. Other light sources also flicker, mostly unnoticed and at high frequency. Our body perceives this constant alternation of light and dark. This affects, among other things, the ability to concentrate.Furthermore, the luminance and the direction of the light can be interesting parameters for determining an optimal lamp for the workplace. Wall lights and ceiling lights for the living areaThe rules are not as strict for the living area, but many of the criteria mentioned can also be applied to private use. Here, the place of use is one of the determining factors for or against a particular model. And the influence of optics plays a much more important role than in the professional environment.Image: Zumtobel LED recessed ceiling light EP 1200-840For living rooms and sleeping areas, lights are usually chosen to match the furnishings. With classic models, standard lamps are to be used, and you can decide individually about their brightness and light color. In functional rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms and dining rooms, rows of spotlights are often used instead of individual lights. Recessed spotlights or LED recessed light points give the room a pleasant flair. The big advantage is that you can emphasize or stage individual areas of the respective room. For example, if you like to cook, there should be enough spotlights above the worktop to provide sufficient light. Beautiful pictures on the wall look even more interesting if they are directly illuminated. In the bathroom, recessed spotlights at head height illuminate your face without casting large shadows. This makes skin care and shaving easier. It is important to ensure that these not only produce a pleasant light, but are also suitable for the humid room climate.Are wall lights and ceiling lights with LED technology recommended?Basically, LED technology is a modern way of generating light. Over the years, this has almost completely replaced conventional light bulbs. The Light Emitting Diode (Light Emitting Diode) is cheap, durable and consumes little energy in comparison. Almost all manufacturers of lamps and lights offer LED wall lights and LED ceiling lights. For example, it is possible to use large floodlights or floodlights as ceiling lights. Hundreds of LEDs illuminate the room very evenly. In terms of color temperature, LEDs were limited in the first few years and emitted an unnaturally cold light. In the meantime, however, the light of modern LEDs is comparable to the 'old' light bulbs. RGB LEDs generate light across the entire color spectrum. Thanks to the LED light threads (filaments), warm colors can be generated that correspond to those of fire or candles. In the form of a wall light, these variants are suitable, for example, for atmospheric accentuation of masonry or living areas.Advantages of LED technologycheap and energy efficientlong lifetimeenvironmentally friendly recyclableflexible in structure and arrangementspace savingColor change possible Disadvantages of LED technologyhigher initial investmentonly electronically dimmablethe color rendering often seems artificialPermanently installed LEDs cannot be replaced if they are defective TIP:If you have a choice, opt for LEDs over incandescent, CFL, or fluorescent tubes. Please refer to the product description to find out whether an LED wall light or LED ceiling light has the advantages or disadvantages mentioned. If you opt for a light with a conventional design, you don't have to do without LED technology either. In the eibabo® shop you can get LED light sources in the form of classic light bulbs, which you can use in their place in the socket of your light.Which material is recommended for my wall or ceiling light?In addition to individual taste, the choice of material for a wall light or ceiling light can be based on pragmatic criteria. In the typical living area, there are hardly any restrictions. Anything that pleases is allowed. Plastics in smooth shapes are usually easy to clean. Lights with a washable housing are best suited for use in the basement or hobby room. Some of these models are unbreakable or additionally protected against mechanical influences by brackets. It is better not to choose materials such as wood, copper or brass if the lamp will be exposed to the weather or higher humidity. Metals can discolor or rust.What do I have to pay attention to with ceiling and wall lights for outdoor use?Even outdoors, wall lights and ceiling lights are not only decorative, but also practical. When the entrance to a home is well lit at night, there is less chance of tripping and searching for the keyhole. A pleasantly lit terrace invites you to linger. But regardless of whether you decide on a subtle or eye-catching design, please pay attention to the suitability for outdoor use. A look at the product description or the information on the IP protection class can help here. All lights that you install on the house wall or on the ceiling of the entrance area must at least correspond to protection class IP44. These are protected against splashing water from all directions. The first digit describes the protection against foreign bodies, the second digit the protection against water. The higher both digits, the more protection is offered. An IP 67 luminaire, for example, withstands jets of water and brief immersion.What are the advantages of ceiling or wall lights with motion detectors?Motion detectors are useful. They detect people in the dark and then switch on the wall light or ceiling light. This ensures security in the house entrance, in the stairwell, in the driveway or in the garage after dark. Motion detectors are also useful when you don't have your hands free to operate a light switch. At eibabo® you can get ceiling lights and wall lights with and without motion detectors from all well-known manufacturers such as Hera, Philips light PLS, Regiolux, Ridi lights, RZB Zimmermann, Trilux, Zumtobel light, Schmitz lights, Schuch light, IDV, Böhmer, Eglo , ESYLUX, Briloner, BEGA Gantenbrink, Pracht, Performance in Light, Brumberg lights, Hufnagel, Trio lights, Hufnagel, Peill+Putzler, Neuhaus lights, EVN lighting technology, Legrand (BT).
