Why LED tape may not be brighter
Title: Svetlinna LED strip 
LED strips are used for everything: from decorative lighting to full-fledged lighting at work places. Cause for the popularity of the price, brightness, niskata consumption for energy, lekotata for connection, the voltage of 12 V is protected (with rare exceptions - 220 V). Tova name, for the sake of your brother-in-law, this sale in bobbin and camp is extremely popular for the last decade, but nothing lasts forever and LED products will fail. We see for some reason the LED tape does not shine: cause it and how we can stop it.

The principle of operation and device
The LED is quite a specific lighting source. Those sa a lot of demands for quality are stored. Usually, it is possible to store separate LEDs with the help of a special device - the driver. The product is a specialized circuit, which stabilizes the output current, regardless of the product, within the limits of the permissible output power.
LED strips work in a similar way. Driver for LED lentata e slang name. It beat right, yes, you offend - block store behind LED strip… Save the block behind the LED strip for a momentum and take up a little space. There are no models of transformers for sale. Any stabilized storage of 12 V or a car battery for the same voltage is suitable for storage.
Lentata sestoi from:
- LED
- Resistors for current limiting.
- Gavkava printed scarf.
- Adhesive base.
The 12-volt model has a simple structure - it consists of a section of 3 LEDs and resistors. Why exactly three? In fact, for storing 1 LED you need 3 - 3.5 volts, that is, for three LEDs, there is enough voltage in the region of 10 V, stop 2 V from the resistor, which sets the current.
Lentite se differ by quantity:
- 30 br / m;
- 60 br / m;
- 120 br / m.

Broy on diode on LED tape
By type of LED:
- 3528;
- 5050;
- 2835;
- 5630.
Tova sa very well cross the options, you can choose tozi, someone else is completely satisfied with your research for realizing an idea.
Zahranvaniyata, somehow veche spomenachme, sa impulsesni and ima three types of schemes:
- Baziran on an autogenerator (blocking a generator) - nay-evtiniyat, low power (up to 25 W)
- On the PWM controller with an integrated key for protection - average price, low and average power (up to 30 - 50 W).
- On a PWM controller with an external key or a key for protection, which is a half-bridged chain of e-price, which has a high stability and reliability in time, they cross all the ranges for power, but sharply more powerful, more intelligently.

Species storage
Knowing how to save the tape and how to save it, it’s good to remove the malfunctions.
Check and repair
We’ll save some time and cause diagnostics for a malfunction and yes, we’ll remove you, for this we need from:
- Multimeter.
- Indicator screwdriver (220V).
- Little brocade from the well-known goodness LED tape with cables, tie the stones.
- Poyalnik, kalay, passive flow.
- Ribbon conektori.
All methods for repair and diagnostics on electrical chains and chains are based on two common truths:
- Checking for integrity for all components, vrzki and vzli.
- Checking for voltage and sound quality.
Depending on the specifics of your problems, additional diagnostic methods, cathoscillography, etc. may be necessary.
Don't burn
To correct the pre-fact that the LED tape was not hidden and all included - follow the instructions:
Check for safe voltage.
After repair, check for voltage at the entrance to the store; Use an indicator screwdriver to check for the presence of a phase in the contact, where it is connected. Osventova, how to protect the block is open air-cooled type, you can check if it is stored on the inlet terminal. You can determine exactly what you want with the help of a multiset, for that you turn on the mode on the measurement for a changeable voltage (V ~).
Check for initial voltage.
Now it is necessary to determine whether the block will be protected by 12 V for it? For yes, send your friend, you can use a little brocade LED strip cato control lamp. “Control” it actively during repairs on 220 V electric chains and car electrics; for checking for a deposit, maybe it’s a crash from a car or, soon, from a scoreboard. At the first place, they check for warning at the exit of the adhesive on the safe, after from the contact pads on the tape. All segments have 4 contacts - 2 for plus and 2 for minus, you can check for warning either in one from the edge to the tape, or in a specific section has disappeared. In a better way, you can evaluate the voltage from the multiset in the mode on the measured to the constant voltage (V =).

Input output voltage
As a precaution, from protecting the block, get into the tape and do not burn out, then there is a problem in the samata tape, or soon the brocade is intact on the conductor on the first one (there are 3 LEDs).
If there is a problem in storage and it is a little disassembled for repairs to electronics, do not despair, the problem may even be obvious, for example:
- Stupid pista.
- The forerunner burned out.
- Diodniyat bridge is struck.
- Partial failure is obvious.
These problems can be visually identified and problematic and can be corrected.
ako miga
If this is the case, then the LED tape tremble, dokato trepteneto can be yes:
- Constant.
- Periodically.
In Tosi, the case is bright or painted, or disappeared completely.
For yes, check and correct the system, first try and destroy the tester or the control of the cam is stored, for yes you can and be sure that the work is stored correctly. Trepteneto may occur and cause a pre-stress or loss of contact between stored and tape. Ako is a separate section of the tremble - obviously there is a problem in the LED, it is not harmed or somehow “burned out”, there is a segment of the tremble.
There may be a problem due to incorrect installation. It is extremely undesirable that all the wires are firmly under the right corner and that all wrap around roundings and pipes, something with a radius of less than 5 cm - to create a firm voltage for the conductor on the printed scarf. Initially, you can stop in operation, but then follow the damage, it’s completely cross-section of it, somehow creating additional resistance, heating up and, as a result, damage to the commodity.
You can localize with a crack and yes I will replace it, or you can yes replace the tape.
Ako burn out, but not in vain
Have the hundred separate zones turned white, which are burning in the glow under, or have they completely disappeared? There is nothing bad in Tova Nyama; in this case it is not necessary to change the tape. Somehow veche spomenahme, it may even be the result of an incorrect installation or local failure, somehow, between other things, it may or may not have been caused by the same reason.
Ima is known for the difficulty in takiva repairs, sometimes the tape is put into usefulness. For yes, quietly remove the problem, even if you try to cut off the lampat, you can’t secretly make a new site, your installation, own it. Shuttle connected to the LED tape can and will come to the rescue, but they act on a suitable start and so don’t step up in the skills of using the program, it’s better to use the conectori. Once you tie the waterproof tape, first remove the silicone from the surface.
How to keep your working life
Manufacturers say that the exploitation of the belly is on time to buy LEDs for a little 30,000, and for some reason 50,000. Contrary to this, LED tapes, pins and spotlights will fail enough. There are many reasons:
- Grizachi.
- Damage mechanically, from shock and stress, maybe you are stupid.
- Wrong installation.
- Work in high humidity and/or temperature conditions.
Ako parvite two sa rich banal and unpredictable, togawa can yes namal or skip the probability from the next, kato follow the simple rules.
The power of the LEDs, despite their high efficiency, will turn about 1/3 of the declared power in a bright light, there is still a lot of energy for heating.In a semiconductor, with an increase in temperature, the mobility on the carrier for charge and current increases, respectively, for the difference from the conductor. And the current is increased by increasing the heat. This is the reason for the avalanche-like process, which may cause either damage or loss to the diode. Ako montirate tape with power over 10 W,
Once again, twist the circles of the surface “into a spiral” and shoot a flat lamp with a tape, drink it and direct it not to edit, but leave the holidays between howl / redove, not in debelinata mu, and for preference not a single centimeter. Comrade, better spread on toplinat on Wednesday and still take the risk of pregryavane.
If you need more than 5 meters of tape, do not tie it up, follow the edge of the edge on the front. Conduct on tape sa design for a strictly defined current strength, as if it is exceeded, they can and will burn out - as a result, the design of the product is not good and work. For yes, send the tov, tryabva and run an additional cable to the locality, then the soil of the next tape.
Coupe si RGB tapes amp. Comrade let me put on the control signals on a multi-colored tape from the edge on the predishnat and protect directly from the block. Vsichki kolelische izpolzvat single RGB controller. You will also avoid pre-warvaneto on parvata, often on tape, and you will also perceive a similar light effect for every consequence, without the need for synchronization - all the parts of the part still burn the same way. In this case, the only remote control is used, among other things, there may be a reason for a malfunction, always check the battery.

RGB ribbon amplifier
A lot of storage and is regulated for voltage under the trimer resistor format close to the terminal.It’s better, what kind of namaly from a few tenths of the volt (11.5 - 11.8), comrade namaly current, swell your stomach and the brightness is almost nimma yes, change it
Results
Repaired on lighting solutions with LED strip in the woods, broken off the chorus and thought. Tova e is simple, kato izskva is a minimal set of tools and knowledge. Tazi article describing the option for the most frequent occurrence of a malfunction and the technical reasons for this, if it is more useful for you!
