Strip LEDs have become a prominent option among lighting solutions in terms of flexibility, energy efficiency and aesthetics. One of the most important features of strip LEDs is that they are offered with different color options and various models suitable for their areas of use. This flexibility is ideal for decorative and functional lighting in both indoor and outdoor spaces. RGB LED strips are frequently preferred especially in entertainment areas and event decorations thanks to their color-changing features. Neon strip LEDs are used especially in signage and special designs as a modern version of classic neon lights. While in-car LED strips allow car enthusiasts to personalize their interiors, silicone strip LEDs can be used safely in outdoor spaces with their water-resistant structures. Strip LED lamps serve as a natural light source in both home and office lighting with white light and daylight options. In addition, solar-powered strip LEDs provide energy savings and offer an environmentally friendly lighting solution.
What are the Types and Models of LED Strips?
LED strips are divided into various groups according to their technical features, areas of use and performance requirements. This classification helps users choose products that suit their specific lighting needs and increases flexibility in the use of LED strips.
Strip LEDs are first divided into 12 volts, 24 volts and 220 volts according to their voltage values. 12-volt strip LEDs are low-voltage products that are especially preferred for indoor lighting. This low voltage offers safer use and also saves energy. Offering a wide range of uses from small-scale decorative lighting to furniture and cabinet interior lighting, 12-volt strip LEDs can be easily used even at points far from the energy source. 24-volt strip LEDs, on the other hand, offer more powerful lighting than 12-volt options and can be used efficiently at longer distances. These features are ideal for lighting large areas or applications that require more intense light. In addition, the fact that 24-volt systems are more resistant to voltage drops extends the life of these LEDs. 220-volt strip LEDs have the ability to work directly with mains voltage and are therefore frequently preferred in large-scale lighting projects, industrial areas or outdoor areas. Their ability to work with high voltage allows large areas to be illuminated powerfully and homogeneously.
Strip LEDs can also be classified according to the number of LED chips on them. The number of chips is an important factor that determines the amount of light emitted by the strip LED and the intensity of the lighting. Three-chip strip LEDs are preferred especially in commercial areas, display windows and outdoor lighting by offering high brightness and more intense light distribution. These LEDs create a strong visual effect by effectively illuminating a wide area. Single-chip strip LEDs provide a lower intensity light distribution and are generally used for decorative purposes. Single-chip LEDs, which are preferred for illuminating small areas in the home or limited areas such as the inside of cabinets due to their economic nature, also stand out with their long-lasting structures and low energy consumption.
Strip LEDs can also be divided into different categories according to their waterproofness and usage purposes. Silicone-coated and water-resistant strip LEDs are frequently preferred in outdoor lighting. Silicone coating protects LEDs from water and moisture, making them safe to use in rainy or humid environments. These types of LEDs offer an ideal lighting solution for outdoor areas such as gardens, balconies, and poolsides. Sensor strip LEDs are a great option for automatic lighting needs. Equipped with motion sensors or light sensors, these LEDs only light up when needed, which increases energy savings. They provide practical use in areas such as inside cabinets and under stairs. Car interior strip LEDs are specially designed for decorative lighting in car interiors. These LEDs are used to create ambiance in the vehicle or to highlight certain areas, and they usually stand out with their flexible and low-voltage structures.
These groupings help you choose the right strip LEDs according to your usage areas and needs. Choosing the right strip LED provides both an aesthetically pleasing appearance and the best performance in terms of energy efficiency and durability.
LED Strip Prices
Strip LED prices vary depending on many factors. First of all, the technical features of the product are a determining factor on the price. For example, RGB LED strips and remote controlled strip LEDs are generally more expensive than standard single-color strip LEDs because they have more advanced features. In addition, the quality of the materials used and additional features such as waterproofing also affect the price. Silicone strip LEDs are ideal for outdoor lighting thanks to their water-resistant structure, and these additional features can increase the cost. The brand also plays an important role in the price; well-known brands such as Osram may be more expensive, but they also provide confidence in terms of quality and durability. In strip LEDs sold in meters, the unit price usually decreases as the length increases, but the total cost increases. For example, there may be a price difference between a 5-meter strip LED and a 10-meter strip LED. In addition, models that save energy in the long term due to their energy efficiency and long life may cost a little more at the beginning. As a result, strip LED prices vary widely depending on the needs of users and the features they prefer.
