What is the difference between analog and digital LED strips?
The main difference between analog and digital LED strips is in their control methods, dimming effects, lifespan, and cost.
- Control Method
- Analog LED strips use analog signals to control brightness by adjusting the current, which can vary continuously but with limited control and susceptible to interference.
- Digital LED strips use digital signals (PWM dimming), allowing precise brightness control via pulse-width modulation, providing more stable performance and less interference.
- Dimming Effect
- Analog dimming offers continuous dimming but may shorten the LED lifespan due to operating outside rated current, with lower efficiency.
- Digital dimming uses PWM technology to offer flicker-free dimming at frequencies above 120Hz, providing smoother and more consistent brightness adjustments.
- Lifespan
- Analog dimming can shorten the LED lifespan due to inefficiency and non-rated current operation.
- Digital dimming reduces LED wear by ensuring operation within rated current, extending the lifespan.
-
Is COB LED better than LED?
COB and traditional LED technologies each have their advantages and disadvantages depending on the application.
COB (Chip On Board) LED places multiple small chips close together on a single board, producing a smooth, uniform light with virtually no visible dots. This makes COB LED ideal for applications requiring soft, even lighting, such as commercial lighting.
On the other hand, SMD (Surface Mount Device) LED chips are typically spaced apart, which can result in a spotty light effect if no diffusion material is used. SMD is more suitable for applications where distinct light points are needed and can be customized to create brighter strips, with more flexibility in customer specifications.
-
What are the disadvantages of COB LED strips?
- Color Consistency Issues: COB LED strips may suffer from color unevenness, particularly in environments requiring high consistency. The color variation can be more apparent, especially with a 5-step MacAdam ellipse.
- Lower Power Consumption: While lower power consumption is good for energy-saving, it can result in insufficient brightness in scenarios with high brightness requirements.
- Lower Light Efficiency: COB LEDs generally have lower light efficiency than SMD LEDs, meaning they may offer lower brightness at the same power.
- Higher Defect Rates in Waterproofing: The flip-chip structure used in COB LEDs is more complex, leading to a higher defect rate in waterproofing processes compared to SMD LEDs. This can make COB LED strips more prone to defects during the manufacturing process.

FAQs
Here are top asked questions, feel free to contact us for more details.
-
Why is there a difference between theoretical power and actual power?
There are two reasons: maintaining the power operation of 80% of the Led strip can greatly increase the service life of the led chips; in addition, in order to better improve the luminous efficiency, the thermal energy is converted into light energy to the greatest extent. When the flexible Led strips reaches 24W per meter, its heat dissipation problem must be considered. The usual way to dissipate heat is to stick blue adhesive on the back of the Led strips and stick it to the aluminum profiles to help dissipate heat.
When we calculate the theoretical power, we only need to know the power of a single led chip and then multiply it by the number of led chips.
Taking 5050 SMD 60pcs Led strip per meter as a example, the power per meter is 14.4W, 5050 SMD single chip power 0.24W x number of SMD, 60LEDs= 14.4W/M; conventional 3528 SMD power is 0.08W, 2835 SMD The power is 0.1W or 0.2W, and other led chip models are: 3014, 5630, etc.
-
Does the higher the wattage of the Led strip will be brighter?
In theory, the higher the wattage, the brighter the Led strip will be. But brightness isn’t just determined by wattage, and it can’t be determined by wattage alone. So what are the other factors that determine brightness? The brightness is also related to the number of led chips per meter, the display index, the size of the led chip, and the color temperature. Therefore, the wattage is not the only determinant of brightness. On the contrary, the wattage of the Led strip should not exceed the normal wattage. As mentioned earlier, the wattage is too high and the heat dissipation is not good, which will affect the service life of the Led strip.
-
Is there a way to increase the brightness?
Customers often ask us whether Led strip can achieve 39W or 48W. In fact, there are many ways to improve the brightness. In addition to environmental protection, the biggest advantage of LED is: energy saving. There is really no need for us to increase the wattage of products that were originally energy-saving and become inefficient. At present, our company has made a high-brightness Led strip. The luminous efficiency of the normal Led strip is: 100-110LM/W, our product can achieve 160-170LM/W. The following is his test report, its luminous efficiency The efficiency is 172.6LM/W :
That is to say, in a Led strip with a normal brightness of 100-110LM/W, the brightness of 28W is: 28W x 100LM = 2800LM, but if we use our high-brightness Led strip, 172LM/W, as long as 2800LM / 172LM = about 16W can be realized. It truly achieves high brightness, energy saving and long service life. If you need more information, please contact us.
-
Can quote the price of the Led strip by wattage?
In fact, the wattage alone is not enough to quote. Take the 7.2W Led strip as a comparison, customers generally have the following options:
3528SMD 120led per meter
2835SMD 60led per meter
5050SMD 30led per meter
It is not difficult to see from here that different led chip models and different quantities can make the same wattage. Among them, the highest price is: 3528SMD 120 leds per meter, the most cost-effective is: 2835SMD 60 leds per meter, and their brightness is similar, 2835SMD 60leds per meter will be a little brighter.
-

Advantages and disadvantages of different connectors:
1. Solderless Connectors
- Advantages: Easy to use and available in a variety of styles, including different pin configurations (2-6 pins) and shapes (cross, L-shape, T-shape).
- Disadvantages:
- Only suitable for non-waterproof LED strips.
- Often covers one or two LEDs, which can create a small dark spot if used for under-cabinet lighting.
- Can become loose over time, especially if there’s external force or movement, due to the simple clip mechanism.
2. Transparent Connectors
- Advantages: Provides a firm connection by penetrating the PCB, which helps prevent disconnection. The transparent body allows light to pass through, creating a seamless effect without shadows or dark spots.
- Disadvantages: Primarily suited for indoor use unless specified otherwise for waterproofing.
3. Hippo Buckle Connectors
- Advantages: Available in waterproof (IP65) and non-waterproof versions. Compatible with various PCB widths from 5mm to 12mm, making them versatile. Offers a robust hold, stronger than solderless connectors.
- Disadvantages: Bulkier than transparent connectors, making it challenging to fit into narrow spaces, such as aluminum channels. Light transmission isn’t as clear as with transparent connectors, but still better than many solderless options.
4. Waterproof Connectors
- Advantages: Designed with a sealed structure, providing protection against moisture and suitable for outdoor applications. They ensure reliable operation in wet or humid environments.
- Disadvantages: Larger size due to sealing components, which may limit compatibility with narrow installation channels.
Why Choose LED Connector?
Choosing an LED connector can make LED strip installation quicker, easier, and more flexible. Here’s why it’s a popular choice:
-
Ease of Installation
LED connectors simplify the process by eliminating the need for soldering. Users don’t need specialized tools or skills to install LED strips, as connectors can be attached by hand. This not only saves time but also avoids the complexity involved in soldered connections, which typically require more tools and expertise.
-
Versatile Options
LED connectors come in a range of styles to meet different needs. Options include waterproof and non-waterproof connectors, as well as multiple PIN configurations (e.g., 2-pin for single-color, 3-pin for RGB, etc.) and widths to match different LED strip specifications. This makes them suitable for various LED lighting applications, from indoor decor to outdoor installations.
-
High Quality and Durability
Made from high-quality, corrosion-resistant, and heat-resistant materials, LED connectors are built for long-term use. They provide stable connections and can withstand different environmental conditions, enhancing the reliability and lifespan of the LED installation.
-
Easy Maintenance
LED connectors offer simple maintenance. If a section of the LED strip fails, it’s easy to cut and replace only the affected part without disrupting the entire setup. Many connectors are designed for easy disconnection and reconnection, allowing for quick repairs and adjustments with minimal effort and cost.
To select a suitable LED strip connector, consider the following steps:
-
LED Strip Type:
- Identify the LED strip’s type based on the number of PINs required. Typically:
- Single-color strips need a 2-pin connector.
- Tunable white or dynamic color LED strips (such as RGB or RGBW) require 3-pin, 4-pin, or 5-pin connectors respectively.
- 5-in-1 LED strips use 6-pin connectors.
- Also, match the width of the connector to the width of your LED strip (usually 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm).
- Identify the LED strip’s type based on the number of PINs required. Typically:
-
Usage Environment:
- For outdoor or humid conditions, choose waterproof options like hippo snap or waterproof connectors. If transparency is important (to avoid shading light), select clear waterproof connectors to maintain brightness.
-
Connector Type:
- Select a connection method suitable for your installation, including middle connectors, T, L, or X shapes, and options with single or double-sided cable connections to connect strips flexibly.
-
Confirm Requirements:
- If your LED setup has custom needs, consulting with a professional or a supplier can help. They can suggest the most compatible connectors and options.
