LED light strips have made LEDs far cheaper and more flexible. They are a line of LEDs that are fixed together with resistors to form a circuit. This makes them easy to fit in places other lights won’t, hence LED light strips are popular for under wall or shelf lighting and in the kitchen.

 

People are increasingly favouring LEDs over other kinds of lighting, such as incandescent or fluorescent, because they are much more energy efficient, attractive and these days can be made to suit many lighting requirements. LEDs are directional and monochromatic. This means nearly all light is aimed at the lens and virtually all light is used unlike bulbs, which waste light outside their colour filter frequency. LEDs mean less electricity is wasted. There is no irritating buzzing from LEDs because they are unmovable as light passes through them.

 

There have been huge advancements in LED technologies recently, making LEDs the most popular type of light emitting diode. A wide range of fixtures are now on offer including LED light strips. LED is now very suitable for commercial and residential use and for creating many kinds of ambiance. They offer a wider representation of the light spectrum, therefore colours are more vivid. This makes them more distinctive than rope lights for use in decoration. LEDs are particularly fashionable as decorative lights. People love LED light strips because they allow LEDs to be so versatile. They are easy to fit and have easy application in all sorts of places. Light strips and light ribbons are available in a range of lengths which means they are perfect for main lighting or accent lighting, revealing shelves in a hidden corner that are normally unused because of poor lighting. Ribbons and strip lights are part of the reason home owners are now embracing LED lighting. They are available in both rigid and flexible strips, waterproof and non waterproof. They offer new ways to illuminate and create atmosphere in the home in a way other lighting just can’t.

 

Strip lights and ribbons are easy to conceal. Normally, with most types of lights, the lighting fixture is very visible and this can be unappealing or not in keeping with the style of a room, however with LED light strips and ribbons they can be easily disguised so only the light they produce is visible without reducing illumination of the room. LEDs are the future of designer lighting in the home.
