Menguasai Saluran Lampu LED Strip: Panduan Komprehensif Anda

Saluran lampu LED biasanya berbentuk aluminium. Plus, ia merupakan salah satu bagian terpenting dari peralatan LED. Oleh karena itu, ia adalah tempat pelindung yang sempurna untuk setiap lampu LED strip.

Tapi itu belum semua.

Ia adalah aksesori yang baik untuk penerangan LED.

Jadi, baik Anda seorang insinyur atau desainer, Anda memerlukan saluran lampu LED strip untuk meningkatkan kecerahan LED Anda.

Penting juga untuk dicatat bahwa saluran lampu LED strip dan difusor lampu LED meningkatkan pengasupan panas LED.

Oleh karena itu, saluran lampu LED strip adalah sesuatu yang harus dipertimbangkan saat Anda merancang atau memasang lampu LED.

Dan itulah mengapa kami telah membuat artikel ini—untuk memberikan Anda pandangan mendalam tentang saluran lampu LED strip.

Jadi, tanpa basa-basi, mari kita langsung membahas.

Apa Itu Saluran Lampu LED Strip?

Juga dikenal sebagai Aluminium extrusions/channels, saluran lampu LED strip bertanggung jawab untuk menempatkan LED. Secara spesifik, saluran membuat lampu LED strip tampil dan bekerja seperti lampu bekas lama.

Tapi ada lebih banyak lagi.

Saluran aluminium lampu LED strip adalah casing transparan—dibuat dengan aluminium terpancang. Oleh karena itu, ia memiliki struktur panjang dan sempit. Menariknya, fitur ini SANGAT IDEAL untuk pencahayaan linear.

Biasanya, saluran mengambil bentuk 'U'—dengan slot yang diperkirakan separuh inci lebar yang cocok untuk pemasangan.

Juga, saluran biasanya hadir dalam 1 meter (3.2Ft). Plus, Anda dapat membelinya dalam paket 5 saluran, sehingga panjang lampu LED stripnya 5 meter (16.4Ft).

Selain saluran lampu LED strip, ada difusor policarbonat. Beberapa produsen menyertakan difusor plastik dengan saluran.

Tapi itu belum semua.

Produsen ini menghasilkan policarbonat melalui proses ekstrusi.

Plus, produsen merancang policarbonat untuk memiliki mekanisme snap sederhana. Dengan cara itu, difusor dapat dipasang pada saluran lampu LED strip dengan mudah.

Biasanya, difusor tetap berada di tempatnya ketika setidaknya separuh inci dari lampu LED strip. Dan mereka membantu mendistribusikan cahaya lampu LED strip secara efektif.

Cara Memilih Saluran LED?

When it comes to the LED channel, you should consider a few things before choosing one. And they are as follows;

1. Bentuk

It’s best to be sure about the shape you plan to get. We have the U-shaped or V-shaped LED channels—which are the most common shapes.

The U-shaped channel is ideal for surface mounting projects. The V-shaped channel, on the other hand, is perfect for corner-based applications.

We also have the double row channel—which is wider than the U-shaped LED channel. Plus, the double-row channel helps you install two LED strips—especially if you want to get more brightness.

2. Tinggi dan Lebar

When it comes to height and width, you need to consider the size of the LED strips. Hence, you need to ensure the channel’s inner space is apt for the LED strips.

We recommend you go for LED channels suitable for all the 3528 and 5050 strips.

Likewise, it would help if you considered choosing U102 with additional width for light strip plus 2nd. However, waterproof LED strips require only U103 with extra height and width.

Also, we advise that you choose more extended LED channel versions if you don’t like too many connections.

Nonetheless, you can go for the U104, which is a bendable LED channel. And it’s most suitable for irregular corners and columns. Typically, manufacturers make the U104 with special aluminum alloy—which is perfect for additional softness.

3. Warna

There are a ton of color variations in the market. So, you can choose your most preferred color—based on the targeted environment.

Cara Memasang Saluran Aluminium Lampu LED Strip

Here are straightforward and simple steps on how to install an LED strip light channel:

1. First, install the extension connectors and mounting clamps.

2. Then, press the aluminum in the recently installed mounting clamps. Also, you can install corner connectors (but this applies if you have corners). To fix the corners properly, you can use a piece of double-sided adhesive. Afterward, you can press the corner channel at the corner.

3. The next thing is to measure the LED strip—after which you can cut at the indicated position. At corners, you can connect two different strips with a strip corner connector by soldering them together.

4. Testing the LED strip is what you should do next. If the strip works, you can go ahead with the installation.

5. Enlarge the hole on each end cap according to the LED power cables.

6. Peel off the adhesive paper and place the LED light strip inside the LED channel. Afterward, install the diffuser above the LED light strip. And you can do this by pushing it into the slot.

7. To get a more moisture-proof and durable finish, place some adhesive at the hole where the power cable extends out.
