Tips and tricks

Ever needed LED tape longer than 5 meters ?

The super-long constant current led strip light can achieve 50 meters, 30 meters, 20 meters, 15 meters per reel, and only needs to be connected to the power supply on one end, and the brightness of the beginning and the end are the same.
Super-long constant current led strips usually use thicker PCBs, such as 3 ounces or 4 ounces, and there will be constant current ICs on the PCB or ICs inside the LED.
The super-long constant current led strip mainly solves uneven brightness at the beginning and end of the led strip due to the voltage drop. 
The constant voltage 24Vdc led strip can only be 5 meters long by one end power input. If it exceeds 5 meters, there will be a voltage drop problem. 
To avoid the voltage drop problem, the wiring diagram of the constant voltage led strip is as follows:


But the wiring diagram of the super long constant current led strip is straightforward, as shown below:


According to the following schematic diagram, the farther away from the power supply, the lower the voltage. 
If it is a constant voltage led strip, the voltage will decrease, and the brightness of the LEDs will decrease accordingly. 
However, by adding constant current IC components to the circuit, the super long constant current led strip can ensure that the current through the LED can be kept constant within a specific voltage range (for example, 24V~20V) so that the brightness of the LED is consistent.
