1. Indoor installation: When the copper wire lamp string is used for indoor decoration, it does not have to withstand wind and rain, so the installation is very simple. Take the copper wire lamp string produced by Guanghong Electronics as an example. Each copper wire lamp string has a self adhesive 3M double-sided adhesive tape on the back. When installing, you can directly remove the sticker on the surface of the 3M double-sided adhesive tape, and then fix the lamp strip at the place where it needs to be installed, and press it flat with your hand. As for some places that need corners or are long, what should we do? Quite simply, the copper wire lamp string is a circuit structure composed of three LEDs in series and parallel, and each three LEDs can be cut off and used separately.
2. Outdoor installation. Where cutting and connection are required, the method is the same as that for indoor installation, except that waterproof glue is additionally provided to consolidate the waterproof effect of the connection point.
3. Power connection method: The copper wire lamp string is generally DC 12V, so it needs to use the switching power supply. The power supply size depends on the power of the copper wire lamp string and the connection length. If you do not want each copper wire lamp string to be controlled by a power supply, you can purchase a high-power switching power supply as the main power supply, and then connect all the input power supplies of the copper wire lamp string in parallel (if the wire size is not enough, it can be extended separately), and the power supply is uniformly supplied by the main switching power supply. The advantage of this is that it can be centrally controlled. The inconvenient place is that it is not possible to achieve the lighting effect and switch control of a single copper wire lamp string. The specific method can be measured by yourself.
4. Controller connection mode: copper wire lamp string and RGB full-color lamp band need to use a controller to achieve variable effects, but the control distance of each controller is different. Generally speaking, the control distance of simple controller is 10 to 15 meters, and the control distance of remote controller is 15 to 20 meters, which can be controlled to 30 meters. If the connection distance of the copper wire lamp string is long, and the controller cannot control the long lamp strip, then the power amplifier needs to be used for tapping.
5. Note the connection distance of copper wire lamp string: generally speaking, the connection distance of 3528 series copper wire lamp string is 20m, and the connection distance of 5050 series LED lamp strip is 15m. If the connection distance is exceeded, the LED light strip is easy to heat up, which will affect the service life of the LED light strip during use. Therefore, the installation shall be carried out according to the requirements of the manufacturer, and the copper wire lamp string shall not be overloaded.
