Question 10

68.What are flexible LED strip lights and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Flexible LED light strips consist of a pliable circuit board that has a bunch of LEDs mounted on it. LEDs produce powerful, energy efficient light that can be used to illuminate any space. Flexible LED light strips allow you to light spaces that traditional sources of light simply cannot reach.

There are many benefits of using LED lights strips to light your homes, offices, retail spaces, and more. LED is a semiconductor that emits light when current flows through it in one direction. LEDs mounted on a flexible tape produce clear and bright light following the same principle. The color, brightness, and color temperature of light can be customized by changing the size and type of LED used and the way the LEDs are mounted on the tape.
