Knowledge Sharing: The Importance of Fine-tuning Output Voltage for Lighting Effects

In shopping malls, hotels, shops, and outdoor building illuminations, long LED light strips are ubiquitous. They are lightweight and versatile, infusing shopping malls with a modern and lively ambiance.

However, in practical scenarios, these long LED light strips often suffer from brightness inconsistency between the start and the end. Specifically, the area close to the power source tends to be brighter, while the tail section becomes notably dimmer, significantly compromising the overall lighting effect.

The reason for this occurrence is that as the current flows through the light strip, it encounters internal resistance, leading to a voltage drop. As the length of the light strip increases, this voltage drop becomes more significant, causing the voltage at the end of the light strip to decrease and subsequently resulting in a noticeable dimming of the brightness.

To tackle this practical issue, Suretron/SCPOWER has effectively mitigated the voltage loss at the tail of the light strip by precisely adjusting the output voltage of the driving power supply. This ensures that the light strip maintains a consistent and stable brightness throughout its length.

Furthermore, by fine-tuning the output voltage, it becomes possible to achieve a better match between the LED light strip and the power supply. Customers can customize the output voltage of the power supply according to the specific voltage requirements of their LED light strip, thereby enhancing the convenience of application.

Solve the problem of reduced brightness of lamps due to aging of circuits

After the circuit ages, the resistance will gradually increase, resulting in a decrease in current, which will cause the power of the lamp to drop and the brightness to decrease. By fine-tuning the output voltage and appropriately increasing the output, the current lost due to circuit aging can be compensated to a certain extent, ensuring that the lamp can obtain enough power to maintain a stable brightness output.

Alleviate the impact of line loss on lamps

During the power transmission process, due to the physical properties of the power line itself, such as resistance, reactance, and inductance, electric energy is lost during transmission. This is the line loss problem.

To address line loss issues, fine-tuning the output voltage can effectively compensate for the attenuation of current during transmission, ensuring that the lamp maintains consistent brightness output.
