Different color temperatures are indeed very important for the overall spatial atmosphere of the house. For different home decoration areas, how to choose the corresponding color temperature LED strips.
1. Consideration of color temperature
In home decoration, common light color temperatures include neutral light 4000k and warm light 3000-3500k. Among them, warm light is suitable for creating a warm and romantic atmosphere, suitable for occasions where the home decoration style tends to be soft and warm; while neutral light is more suitable for cool, black and white minimalist home decoration styles.
Color temperature of the living room area: 4000K is strongly recommended, and 3500K is second recommended. Reason for recommendation: The living room is our main daily activity area. It is recommended to choose a color temperature of 4000K (neutral light), also known as natural light, like normal sunlight, and the light color it presents is bright and comfortable.
Color temperature in bedroom area: 3000K is highly recommended, followed by 3500K. Reason for recommendation: The bedroom is where we sleep and relax every day.

It is recommended to choose 3500K (warm white light) with a little warm color in the white light, which brightens the color of the food on the table and makes people more appetizing.
2. The difference between low-voltage LED strips and high-voltage LED strips
[Low-voltage LED strips] Common low-voltage LED strips are mostly 12V or 24V, which are safe and convenient to use. Some low-voltage LED strips are equipped with plastic protective covers for easy cleaning and maintenance. They can be flexibly pasted in narrow spaces, such as bookcases, display cabinets, etc., and the shape can be adjusted at will, with strong adaptability.
Low-voltage LED strips have limited overcurrent capacity due to their thin substrates, and are usually 5m long. If a longer LED strip is required, the number of wiring points and drivers needs to be increased. However, some products increase the current bearing capacity by thickening the substrate to achieve a single length of 20m.
[High-voltage LED strip] High-voltage LED strips generally use 220V voltage and can be up to 100m in length. It has high power and strong brightness, and is suitable for occasions that require high-brightness lighting. High-voltage LED strips usually need to be installed with buckles, but it should be noted that there are safety hazards when using them in easily accessible parts such as steps and guardrails. It is recommended to install them in high positions such as ceiling light troughs and ensure that they are equipped with protective covers.
