What Materials Are Used in

LED Soft Light Strips?

"LED strip lights are primarily assembled with a PCB hardboard and small-power SMD LED lamp beads. Conventional designs feature 60 or 72 lamp beads evenly distributed per meter, typically using two main materials for the substrate: aluminum base plates and glass brazing boards."

LED strip lights combine PCB hardboard with SMD LED beads, typically 60-72 beads/meter. Key substrates include:

Aluminum Base Plates: Excel in heat dissipation, preventing light decay. Caution: Improper cutting risks short circuits. Shenzhen Fidelity Lighting’s 4th-gen splicable strips (pre-welded terminals) eliminate secondary cutting needs.

Glass Brazing Boards (for hard strips): Non-metallic, but poor heat dissipation causes overheating issues.

Soft vs. Hard Strips: Key Features

Soft Strips: Flexible FPC design, 3M adhesive, bendable for 3D shapes (e.g., advertising light boxes, ceiling decor). Cuttable between units; ideal for display cabinets, automotive mods.

Hard Strips: Require aluminum grooves (available in gold, silver, rose gold, etc.). Used in jewelry/cosmetic counters for rigid lighting.

Why LED Strips Outperform Traditional Lights

Core tech: Lamp bead longevity + heat dissipation.

Advantages: 50% more energy-efficient, 3-5x longer life, better heat management than fluorescents/incandescents.
