Comparative Analysis of High Voltage Lamp Strip and Low Voltage Lamp Strip

1．Advantage

1. High voltage light strip:

High brightness: Due to the high voltage, the brightness is also correspondingly high, suitable for occasions that require high brightness lighting. Good stability: The current is small, making it less prone to flickering and other issues.

Long lifespan: typically exceeding 50000 hours.

2. Low voltage light strip:

Good safety: Low voltage, usually 12V or 24V DC, harmless to the human body. ‌

Easy installation: It can be directly connected to a DC power supply without the need for professional personnel to operate. ‌

Low cost: Due to the lower voltage, the cost is correspondingly lower and the price is cheaper.

2、 Disadvantages

1. High voltage light strip:

Poor safety: high voltage, risk of electric shock, special attention should be paid to safety.

Installation complexity: requires connection to a high-voltage power supply, making installation quite complicated.

Short lifespan: Although it has a longer lifespan, it is still relatively short compared to low-voltage light strips. ‌

Flashing problem: Although some brands solve the flickering problem through voltage regulators and high-quality LED chips, safety hazards still need to be taken into account.‌

2. Low voltage light strip:

Low brightness: Due to the low voltage, the brightness is also correspondingly low.

Poor stability: high current, prone to flickering and other issues.

Short lifespan: usually only around 10000 hours.

Installation complexity: Although installation is simple, it requires an external transformer, which increases the complexity of installation.

3、 Difference comparison

1. Application scenarios

High voltage strip: Suitable for commercial and industrial areas that require high brightness lighting, it can quickly highlight key points and create a strong commercial atmosphere. ‌

Low voltage light strip: suitable for home lighting and offices that require soft lighting, safe and flicker free, suitable for direct contact with the human body. ‌

2. Voltage and safety

The high-voltage light strip uses 220V AC power, which is a dangerous voltage and poses a safety hazard. It is not suitable for use in high-risk situations.

3. Installation and service life

The installation of high-voltage light strips is simple, and they can be directly connected to a 220V power supply for use. However, unstable current may cause flicker, and high voltage can lead to excessive heating, shortening the service life. ‌

Low voltage light strips require a transformer to convert 220V to 12V or 24V for use, which is complex to install but has a longer lifespan, typically up to 30000 to 50000 hours.

4. Price and application scenarios

High voltage light strips have a lower price and are suitable for large-scale lighting and simple installation scenarios. ‌

Although the initial investment for low-voltage LED strips is relatively high, they are widely used in situations that require precise installation and long-term use due to their advantages of safety, long lifespan, and no flicker.‌
