Choosing the Right LED Strip Lights

1. Type of Display Box:

  • Material: Glass, wood, or acrylic display boxes have different lighting needs.
  • Size: Large display boxes may require more powerful or additional LED strips to ensure even lighting.
  • Purpose: Consider if the display is for personal use, retail, or exhibitions.

2. Strip Light Placement:

  • Sides: Installing LED strips along the sides can create a uniform light distribution.
  • Top: Top-mounted lights can highlight the contents effectively but may create shadows.
  • Base: Bottom lighting can add a dramatic effect, especially with reflective surfaces.

3. Color Temperature:

  • Warm White (2700K-3000K): Ideal for wooden or vintage display boxes.
  • Neutral White (4000K): Perfect for general use, providing a balance between warmth and clarity.
  • Cool White (5000K-6000K): Best for modern displays, retail, or highlighting fine details.

4. LED Types:

  • Single Color LEDs: Simple and effective for most display purposes.
  • Tunable White LEDs: Adjust the color temperature to suit different items or moods.
  • RGB LEDs: Create vibrant and dynamic lighting effects with color-changing capabilities.
  • RGBW LEDs: Combine RGB with white light for more versatility in display lighting.
