Installation of led tape in the wall or in a cascade on the ceiling
Installation of led tape in the wall or in a cascade on the ceiling is very popular when decorating the interior. LED strips come in packs of 5 meters and are generally purchased by the meter. LED strips with 12 V power supply are most often found on the market. However, if the LED strip is installed in lengths of more than 5 meters, a voltage drop may occur, so in this case, LED strips with a 24 V power supply are recommended. LED strips of 4.8 and 9.6 W/m are most often used in residential areas. Along with the LED strip, a suitable transformer is also required. The strength of the transformer depends on the length of the LED strip and its strength. The transformer should be 10-20% stronger than the value you get when you multiply the length of the tape by its strength.
Procedure of installation of led strip
Before connecting to the electricity, start the installation of the led strip by gluing the strip into the wall niche or the ceiling cascade. The back of the LED strip is self-adhesive so you don”t need glue or extra tools. The tape is glued to the inside of the cascade. When you have glued the tape to the end, cut off the rest with scissors at the marked places. If the length of the cascade or niche is greater than 5 meters, the connection of two LED strips is done by soldering or connectors. After you have glued the tape, start with the installation of the transformer, for which you need a screwdriver and a small pair of pliers. It is necessary to pay attention to which side the 230v power supply is connected and to which side the LED strip. This part of the work is best done by a professional person observing all protective measures! Place the transformer inside the cascade and, if necessary, fasten it.
Can I install the led strip myself?
LED strips can be purchased in different variants. You can choose colors, and you can also buy RGB strips that can change colors at will. Once you have bought the LED strip and the transformer, you just need to connect them. Visit the nearest electrical equipment store and ask the salesperson which wires to buy. They are usually black and red wires that you must have seen a million times. You can do the connection in two ways, with the help of a soldering iron or a connector. If you are not experienced in working with a soldering iron, then it is better to buy connectors, because there you will easily connect the wires with the LED strips and the transformer. When connecting, pay attention to the + and – marks. + must go to +, and – to -. Use the red wire as the plus wire, while the black will be your minus wire. Both the strips and the transformer have markings for + and – so you will easily connect them. Once you”ve done that, all you have to do is buy a socket plug to connect the wires from the transformer to the plug. Here + and – are not important so you can connect the wires as you like. All that remains is to insert the plug into the electricity and you will have your LED lighting. So, with minimal knowledge about electricity, you can install the led strip yourself! However, if you are not sure, post the required service on bellcom.rs and you will receive offers from experienced craftsmen/companies.
