LED Strip Lights: How to Avoid Yellowing, Dead Lights, and Short Lifespan?

Not long ago, the prestigious U.S. LIT Lighting Design Awards showcased some incredible designs. Many used linear lighting, both indoors and outdoors, in architecture, landscaping, and more. 🌃🎨               

Designers love the effects but often grapple with common issues like:

• Short Lifespan: Strips may die within a year due to poor waterproofing. 🌧️
• Weathering: The strip lights tend to yellow under UV rays. ☀️
• Inconsistent Light Quality: Color inconsistencies are common, especially in longer strips. 🌈

Let’s delve into how DoWell Lighting addresses these challenges. 🛠️

Waterproofing: Key to Longevity and Safety 🌊

• Common Techniques: Tubing, naked board, dripping glue, and extrusion. Each has pros and cons.

  • Tubing: Not recommended due to poor sealing. 💧
  • Dripping Glue: Can alter color temperature, leading to color inconsistencies. 🌡️

• DoWell Lighting Solution: DoWell Lighting improves the dripping glue process, ensuring color consistency post-application. 🌈

• Silicone Extrusion: For those without special conditions, silicone extrusion offers excellent protection without affecting color temperature. ✅

Enhancing Weather Resistance: Combat Harsh Conditions ☀️🌨

• Issues: Poor material choices can lead to yellowing and reduced lifespan.

• DoWell Lighting Solution: Our 360-degree silicone neon strips can withstand salt mist, UV rays, and extreme temperatures, ranging from -20 to 45 degrees Celsius. ✨

Quality Light Source for Excellent Light Quality 💡

• Requirement: Consistency in LED chips used in the strip lights for excellent photometric performance. 🌟

• DoWell Lighting Solution: DoWell Lighting either uses top-grade international suppliers like Osram and Nichia or self-packages the LED chips to maintain color consistency. 🌈

For instance, our ultra-long LED strip lights for bridge or hotel lobby installations maintain uniform brightness from start to finish with just one transformer, eliminating the need for multiple transformers every 5 meters. 🌉🏨
