Hi, how are you.
This is Diego Iorio from SIRS-Electronics in McAllen Texas United States.
Today I would like to talk about the different versions,
Options of LED RGB strip on the market.
Basically you can find anything now a days,
From high quality,
Low quality and everything in between.
Right now is a little bit difficult
To compare the strips because they have great similarities.
Almost all of them are 12 volts and 24 volts.
But today we will be comparing the 12 volts.
You will find single density, dual density,
Single density means 150 LEDs for 5M rolls.
Five meters is 26.4 feet. So, basically is hard,
Because to a simple view both products appear to be the same.
In this case this one has a white PCB and
This one has a brown PCB but also you can find the low quality strip also in brown PCB.
So the color of the PCB basically doesn't mean anything.
What the big difference is or can be found.
Is once the strip is energized with the 12 volts,
Because is a kind of low quality strip. has this very thin PCB copper.
The voltage drop across the strip is dramatic.
Also you will notice that when you extend
The whole strip you will notice that the first
Part turn on brighter than the last part of the strip.
And that means a dramatic voltage drop across the strip.
And sometimes is greater than 40 or 50 percent.
Also the situation with this kind of Low Quality strip.
Is the problem with the IC LED chip. The chip sometimes,
The low quality chip sometimes does not have the same Batch or Bin.
And that means that are a little difference between the color of each strip.
From the same strip. Also you will notice sometimes the color in not uniform.
You know if you reflect the light turned on a white surface
Or a clear surface you will notice that you will have more lights on somewhere then in
other spots.
In general your.
Efficiency is much less you will get less lumen per watt.
You can find this kind of strip online. even sometimes on big department stores.
But the suggestion is that nobody seems to care about
The quality or at least nobody seems to know the difference.
And the difference are basically, when you are working on a project,
Big lighting project so you don't want to compromise your
Work because if the light does not light properly you will
Have to re-do the project. Or if don't last what is
Supposed to last on your warranty you will have to
Re-do the job and that is not good for any contractor.
So what we have done for this situation we carry this kind of material off of those people.
Is a good material as well.
You know but is the same material that can be found online, very cheap. And we call them
the low quality strip.
And also we have the high quality strip that we have been working on all these years.
That has been revised and include along all this time you know.
The good thing about this is that we are using very thick copper PCB we put our brand logo on the strip.
And also we are using the best possible 5050 IC. You know. I don't know if you can see the difference
Looks about the same but the light output with all these details that we been using
Is about 75% more light output and Hi Quality LED strip than a low cost. quality
strip. So, if you have questions you know, next time that you get
Approve for that project and you are trying to save money you know just be careful with
the kind of material you chose.
Because also you may be on the line sometimes you know. So we support both products.
We have a 3 year warranty with this. And we have a month warranty on this.
So I really suggest you take a look on the spec sheet and compare among other manufactures.
Normally the good manufacturers or good shops have their data sheet already online.
So you can consult and compare. Even if you have questions
Without information if you are not an engineer or you are having some doubts on how to compare
Why to take a decision you can contact us you know and we will be glad to give you the
information that you need, you know.
We really want you make the best decision possible. And also be proud of you can be
proud of what you are doing.
When you are installing that you know you are installing high quality product.
We manufactured this product from China but we,
They check one time over there and we also check the product once it arrives to our location.
Before we shipped the product so we have dual quality control.
You know and always we compare with the state sheet that we have publish online.
But from time to time our strip normally we tend to get brighter and consume less power.
Having said that also we do more efficient.
So if you have a question just give us a call the phone number is
956-522-2006 and United States also you can visit our Website SIRS-E.com
Thank You very much. Thanks for watching.
