Hard PCB light strip and soft PCB light strip difference
Hard PCB light strip and soft PCB light strip difference
The main differences between hard PCB and soft PCB light strip are reflected in the structure, installation, flexibility of use, and application scenarios.
Hard PCB light strip :
- structure : hard PCBlight strip usually uses PCB hard board as assembly circuit board, LED lamp beads are fixed in aluminum alloy or PVC shell, hard straight appearance .
- installation : Drill holes and install fixed supports for hard light strip , which are usually fixed on the wall or ceiling. The installation process is relatively fixed and requires certain tools .
- flexibility of use : because the hard light strip structure is hard, can not be bent at will, so it is not suitable for irregular or curved surface 23.
- Application scenario : hard light strip because of its good heat dissipation performance and stability, as well as high brightness characteristics, suitable for lighting and decoration, especially in the need for a long time use or the environment is harsh indoor and outdoor places .
Soft PCB light strip :
- structure : soft PCB light strip using flexible materials (such as FPC) to assemble the circuit board, LED light strip installed on the flexible PCB circuit board, soft appearance .
- installation : Flexible installation without drilling and can be fixed to the wall or ceiling by double-sided tape or buttons on the back. The installation process is simple and does not damage the installation surface .
- flexibility : soft lamp belt can be bent, twisted and folded at will, suitable for curved surfaces and irregular Spaces, can also be cut or extended at will, the light is not affected .
- Application scenario : soft light strip because of its softness and low power consumption, low voltage, environmental protection and other advantages, suitable for lighting and decoration in low light environment, especially in the need to adapt to complex shapes or small space places, such as advertising decoration, mobile equipment, automotive electronics and other fields .
Hard PCB light belt or soft PCB light belt which is better?
1. Structural characteristics :
- Hard PCB light strip : The PCB hard board is used as the assembly circuit board, and the LED chip can be assembled by patch or direct insertion . With high mechanical strength and stability .
- Soft PCB light strip : using FPC (flexible printed circuit board) to assemble the circuit board, you can also use the patch LED for assembly . With high flexibility and bendability, it can adapt to a variety of complex environments and space limitations .
2. Installation and use :
- Hard PCB light strip :
Advantages: easy to fix, processing and installation are more convenient .
Disadvantages: can not be bent at will, not suitable for irregular places .
Disadvantages: can not be bent at will, not suitable for irregular places .
- Soft PCB light strip :
Advantages: can be cut at will, extended, light is not affected; It can be bent, folded and wound at will, and can be moved and stretched freely in three-dimensional space without breaking, suitable for irregular places and small Spaces .
Cons: Installation may require more care to ensure fit and stability.
Cons: Installation may require more care to ensure fit and stability.
3. Brightness and effect :
- Hard PCB light strip : the brightness is relatively higher, the lighting effect will be better, some products through aluminum substrate or aluminum groove for heat dissipation treatment, suitable for high brightness, long-term use .
- Soft PCB light strip : due to its softness, it is more suitable for creating changeable lighting effects and pattern combinations, and is widely used in advertising decoration and other fields .
4. Application scenario :
- Hard PCB light strip : because of its good heat dissipation and stability, as well as the characteristics of high brightness, more suitable for long-term use or the environment is harsh indoor and outdoor lighting and decoration places .
- Soft PCB light strip : because of its softness and low power consumption, low voltage, environmental protection and other advantages, it is more suitable for lighting and decoration in low-light environments, especially in places that need to adapt to complex shapes or small Spaces, such as advertising decoration, mobile equipment, automotive electronics and other fields .
In summary, hard PCB light strip and soft PCB light strip each have their unique advantages and application scenarios. The choice of which type of lamp belt should be determined according to the specific use needs, installation environment and budget factors.If you need to contact us LIKLEIGHT, we are a professional manufacturer of LED lamps in China;we have engineers and 24 hours customer service for you.Phone:+86-755-23328395, Email :contact@like-light.com,Wechat/WhatsApp:86-132-66666-320.
