Timer - A conventional time switch usually switches an electrical relay contact at set times. This is used to realize specific control and automation functions. However, in this eibabo catalog you will find special timers for various automation bus systems, such as radio bus or KNX bus system. KNX time switches, generally, do not dispose of direct switching contacts, but provide the status in digital form as telegrams on the respective bus system or by radio. Depending on the manufacturer, the KNX time switches have diversified but also different characteristics. Most KNX switches feature a day program, week program and year program. Some KNX timers offer a connection option for a DCF or GPS antenna. An automatic summer / winter changeover as well as astro programs. A definition of the geographical location of the building extends the range of options. Switching functions with output of dimming values, switching ON / OFF or UP / DOWN for blinds or shutters, heating control for comfort / standby or night mode, scene release as well as master / slave function are other possible options of KNX time switches. Updating the date and time at KNX displays or other KNX devices in the system by sending the information to the bus are further advantages. Some manufacturers also offer holiday databases, countdown timers and operating hour counters, as well as random programs for simple presence simulations in case of absence to deter potential burglars. A standby in case of power failure is also often standard. What is different is the way to get started. Some manufacturers offer the possibility of direct commissioning of times at the display, programming keys or a separate add-on software or programming solely via the ETS. One should also consider whether another KNX device, which already contains timer programs, is planned in the system, for example KNX weather stations with astro function and GPS / DCF, KNX visualizations (KNX server) KNX displays or complex KNX control and display panels. eibabo provides KNX time switches, KNX time transmitters, wireless timers, KNX year timers, KNX radio switches, KNX week timers, KNX radio blind switches, KNX synchronization timers, digital time switches as well as KNX UP timers of all leading manufacturers, such as ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eltako, Hager, Issendorf, Jung,Legrand, MDT, Merten, Peha, Siemens, Theben or Warema.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Installation bus systems > Time switch for bus system you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Application moduleAstro timerBus systemBus system timerColor displayDistribution timerEIBEnergy efficientLight controlLighting controlMounting rail timerNikobusProgram clockProject clockRadio timerTime switchTime switch for bus systemTimerTimer clockTimer moduleTimersWeek clockWeekly timerYear time switchYear timerfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Timer:ABBBerkerBusch JaegerEltakoHagerMDTMertenSomfyTheben

Cover switch-button-dimmer - Do you prefer plain and simple covers for switches and buttons? Or may it also be something extravagant? We offer a huge range and show you what colours, shapes and styles are there? At eibabo® you will find blind covers and switch covers that make our home functional, comfortable and individually adjustable. This includes covers for room temperature controllers and dimmers from over 20 brand manufacturers at top conditions.PICTURE: Busch Jaeger 2504-2014 blind rockerWhat are covers for switches and buttons?Our life is hardly imaginable without power connections in the house. We operate light switches and plug sockets several times a day. Anyone involved in the planning and construction of a building knows the importance of covers for switches and sockets. Trouble-free functionality, simple design, durability and safety are what count in everyday contact with the interfaces to the power grid. How are these devices constructed? Roughly speaking, conventional switches and buttons consist of an insert, a frame and a cover.The insert consists of the switching technology or the technology for the button and is installed in a switch box.The cover frame forms the outer ring of a socket, button, switch or other insert.The covers fill the frame and ensure that we can safely operate switches, buttons or sockets. The manufacturers have adjusted to the needs of their customers. These offer switch programs with which you can determine the appearance of your switches, buttons and sockets yourself. Covers are available as:Rocker switches, rocker switches and double rockers for lights, blinds, heating and the likeCentral plate for sockets, network sockets and other mediaCable outlet or key switchBlind cover without functionalityCentral disc for dimmers, sensors, temperature controllers Can covers for switches and buttons be combined with frames from other switch ranges?The answer is yes and no. Inserts, frames and covers are standardized, but the details can differ. Why is that? The standard refers to DIN 49073:2007-09. This prescribes the typical dimensions of a switch box (diameter: 60 mm or 68 mm. Depth: 40 mm to 66 mm). The switch ranges of all manufacturers fit into your existing and standardized switch boxes. The situation is different if you want to combine different switch ranges. Although all switch series correspond to the basic installation standard, there are differences in design. As a result, some series are not compatible with other series. Particularly exclusive switch programs are usually also not compatible with other programs. These are usually made of glass, brass, brushed aluminum or stainless steel. TIP:When combining white parts, make sure they have a matching color number (RAL) and the same surface treatment. There may be minor differences. Some covers for buttons and switches match cover frames from other series and manufacturers in terms of shape and size. This allows you to design the control elements in your living room or work area very individually. If you want to combine, we recommend matching the inserts and cover first. In many cases, you will receive these devices as a matching set. This results in the choice of a suitable framework. Many manufacturers produce standardized frames with a cut-out of 55x55mm or 50x50mm. These fit onto correspondingly standardized covers and inserts. Then swapping, combining or varying is possible. If you are not sure, please look at the product description and compare the dimensions given.How do I remove a cover for switches and buttons?You can replace covers for sockets and switches yourself. Please pay attention to your safety, because after removing the covers the current-carrying contacts are exposed. When working with electricity, please disconnect the power supply beforehand. In most cases, the cover or the central plate is screwed to the insert with a small, centrally located screw. You can simply loosen them and carefully pull off the cover.cleaningCentral plates, central discs, rocker switches and cover frames are often touched. We recommend regular cleaning. With a rinse cycle in the dishwasher, all parts become clean again.Some materials are sensitive to heat or water. For example, clean metal covers by hand. Please make sure that the cleaned parts are absolutely dry before you start the cultivation. Place the frame behind the cover and screw it to the insert.Is there a cover for buttons and switches for outdoor use?A special feature are the covers for outdoor use. This is due to the necessary protection against dust, dirt and water. The optimal switch range for use outdoors or in damp rooms is at least IP44 splash-proof. This should also have a reinforced frame, be made of robust material and be mountable to protect it against theft. As a rule, you do not receive such covers individually but in a set. TIP:Many outdoor covers are visually very appealing. These can also find a place in the interior design. Please do not use interior covers in damp rooms or outdoors. As a rule, these switch ranges do not offer the necessary protection.Do covers for switches and buttons break easily?Covers for switches and buttons are actuated several times a day, depending on where they are used. However, the loads on the material are low. The high-quality products from all major manufacturers have proven to be very robust in everyday use. With careful handling, the covers can last for several decades. During assembly and disassembly, there is a risk of damage if, for example, you overtighten the assembly screw. Benefit from our huge selection and the low prices for covers from Alre-it, Berker, Busch Jaeger, DEHN, Eaton, Elso, Eltako, Gira, Hager, Jung, Legrand Bticino, Legrand SEKO, Merten, OBO, Peha, Rademacher, Siemens , Somfy, Tehalit and Thebes.

Cord switch-dimmer - Have you ever heard of cord switches or cord dimmers? Admittedly, this term is not very widespread, but it only describes those mobile and movable switching devices that are supplied directly with an electrical line and also transmit their signals via this electrical line. A classic example is the desk lamp. The switch is usually located somewhere on the supply line and controls the on and off of the lamp. Devices of this type are available in many variants, both as switches and as dimmers, as models for hand operation and models for foot operation. These are then called pedal intermediate switches and are typically found on the leads of floor lamps. If you too would like to install a new switching device on a "string" or replace a defective part, then you will definitely find the right item or the right spare part here in the eibabo online shop. If you opt for a dimmer, please make sure that the light source is also suitable for dimming.Catalogue content:In this eibabo® catalogue Domestic switching devices > Cord switch/dimmer you will find items from the following product groups:Item overview:Cord dimmerCord rotary dimmerCord slide dimmerCord switchCord switch/dimmerCord transformerCord transformer dimmableDimmerDimmer including transformerDimmer with transformerEnd switchFoot switchFootswitchIntermediate dimmerIntermediate pedal switchIntermediate switchLeading edge dimmerLimit switchPull cord switchPull switchfrom the following manufacturers:Manufacturer overview catalogue Cord switch-dimmer:BachmannBerkerBusch JaegerGiraGlen DimplexScharnberger+Has.

Dimming actuator - The technical requirements for the use of dimming actuators are very extensive. Why do I need a dimming actuator and which dimming actuator is the right one for me? In this eibabo catalog you will find many dimming actuators from different manufacturers, for example from the top brands ABB, Berker, Busch-Jaeger, Eaton, EVN, Gira, Hager, Issendorf, Jung, Lingg & Janke, MDT, Merten, Siemens and Theben various automation systems or conventional applications.How do I plan the lighting correctly?You should not start with the control technology first, because this follows at the very end of the lighting planning. First you should plan the lighting according to necessity, appearance, ambience and your own wishes, followed by the functional requirements and then find the right lights.Save by planning!The more precise, the cheaper the execution of the installations. The more complex the functional requirements are, the more important it is to plan and research a suitable SmartHome system.Only then is the functional implementation carried out, which consists of many other topics.What should I know beforehand?Which lights do I want to install?Do I want to use a conventional installation or a bus system?Should the SmartHome be wired or radio (KNX, DALI, or Zigbee radio protocols such as Hue)?Which lights are switched and/or dimmed together and how?Should it be controlled via app or voice assistant?and much more... ... this results in the following findings, for example:Which cables and lines are required?Which control components (e.g. dimming actuators) have to be considered?To what extent do the operating resources have to be secured?How much space must be provided in the electrical distribution?Do I have to consider special flush-mounted sockets for lights?and much more... What do I have to consider before buying a dimming actuator?Before you buy a KNX dimming actuator, the load types of the equipment and their performance should be checked carefully. There are basically 3 types of KNX dimming actuators. There are dimming actuators with the control type leading edge, trailing edge or universal dimming actuators that recognize the connected load type and automatically activate the correct type of control. TIP:Install a few more lights in the room and use a dimming actuator to create a pleasant lighting ambience. KNX dimming actuators are available for installation in the electrical distribution system, then they have the suffix 'REG' for modular installation devices or as a concealed version 'UP' for installation in a mounting box or junction box or as an installation version 'EB' for integration in ducts or similar. 230V halogen lamps or incandescent lamps, for example, can be operated with both types of control.What is the difference between leading edge dimming and trailing edge dimming?Very simply explained; 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with a conventional iron-core transformer requires phase control dimming, although these transformers are hardly ever used. 12V low-voltage lighting (NV) with an electronic transformer requires trailing edge dimming.The type of dimming of the dimming actuator can be recognized by the abbreviation 'RL' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230 volt halogen lamps and the abbreviation 'RC' for trailing edge dimming for incandescent lamps, 230V high-voltage halogen lamps, 12V low-voltage halogen lamps, dimmable LEDs and dimmable ones energy-saving lamps. It is also possible that both abbreviations 'RC' and 'RL' can be found printed on the dimming actuator. Often you will also find this imprint: 'R, L, C'. It designates which equipment the dimming actuator can work with (dimmer, transformer, LED). If you find all 3 letters or the abbreviations 'RL' and 'RC', then it is usually a universal dimming actuator.Image: KNX LED universal dimming actuator - Jung 390041SRIn this case, however, the limit values of the power ranges for each type of dimming with connected equipment must be observed. Dimming actuators often have minimum loads, which may not be suitable for the use of LEDs. Trailing edge dimming 'RC' (trailing edge control) is the most common application. Basically, the lamp and the dimmer must be marked as 'dimmable' and fit together. TIP:For LEDs, we always recommend LED dimmers or LED controllers, which have also been developed for exactly this application. If in doubt, you can also contact the manufacturer of the dimming actuator directly if you send a data sheet for the equipment (lamps and, if applicable, ballasts).Can I dim a fluorescent lamp? Are energy-saving lamps dimmable?Yes, fluorescent lamps and energy-saving lamps can also be dimmed, provided the lamp is suitable and marked as 'dimmable' or, in the case of fluorescent lamps, there is a dimmable electronic ballast (EVG) for 1-10V or the DALI standard. You can find KNX dimming actuators for electronic ballasts with a 1-10V interface under Smart Home > Light control unit. Another standard for electronic ballasts is DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). The advantage over the 1-10V variant is that addressing is possible and there is no wiring according to groups. Further advantages are direct addressing, status messages, scene memory and a wide range of dimming options with the DALI ECG.How do I find out if my lamp / luminaire is dimmable?Basically, the light source used should first be checked to see whether it is dimmable. You can find this marking in the item description or on the packaging. Lamps that have already been planned and fitted with light sources must be checked for dimmability and the type of control with the control gear used.How do I determine the power for my dimming actuator?It must be clear which light groups are to be switched and dimmed together and how high the total output (W/VA) of the group is in order to select the appropriate KNX dimming actuator with regard to the required maximum output, the minimum load and the number of channels as well as the type of control Find. eibabo always recommends a thorough analysis of the application prior to purchase. Lamps and illuminants must be technically analyzed and checked against the technical data of the dimming actuator. In addition, there are countless different parameter properties of KNX dimming actuators between the manufacturers.Why can't I dim my LED light?All dimming actuators meet the standard requirements for dimming. In addition, many manufacturers offer additional interesting parameters. These parameters may be functionally important for your project. The marking KNX universal dimming actuator does not automatically mean that these dimming actuators are also suitable for dimming the LEDs you use.

Dimmers - Would you like to use dimmers in the house, apartment or at work? Would you like to know what to look out for when buying a dimmer? Can dimmers really save electricity? Find out here which dimmer is the right one for your application.When we dim our living room lights in the evening, something magical happens. The brightness decreases, the colors become softer and the atmosphere in the room becomes cozier. This change has a tremendous effect on our well-being and mood. Dimming is not only easy on the eyes, it also has a positive effect on our bodies. After a busy day, we can relax and let the stress gradually fall off our shoulders. In addition, we can save electricity by dimming light bulbs and LED lamps. In this way, we contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and protecting the environment.What should you consider before buying a dimmer?There are a few things to consider when buying a dimmer. We have summarized the most important points for you:What kind of dimmer do you need?Should the dimmer be universal or suitable for a specific light source?What power supply is required?How should the dimmer be operated?What load should the dimmer be rated for? (the information can be found on the device)Which additional functions are required? (interfaces)Does the price play a decisive role?and some more Image: Berker 85422100 universal touch dimmer, 2-foldTypes of dimmers and their usesDimmers are thyristor controllers or triac controllers for controlling the brightness of incandescent lamps, lights or transformers for low-voltage halogen lamps. When selecting a suitable dimmer, the type of light source, the power supply and the electrical voltage must be taken into account. There are different dimmers, which are suitable for different applications. The best known are universal dimmers, trailing edge dimmers and leading edge dimmers. All reduce the voltage to dim the light. But there are differences in how they work. TIP:Most lamps are marked with a label that provides information about their dimmability. You will find the symbol of a light bulb or a halogen spotlight on many light sources, followed by the information 'RL' or 'RC'. What do these two abbreviations mean and what are the advantages and disadvantages?Trailing edge dimming (RL):Trailing edge dimming is the most commonly used method of dimming lamps. Here, the current of the illuminant is interrupted at regular intervals, so that the light repeatedly goes out briefly and then comes on again. The interruption in the current flow causes the light to flicker slightly. This flickering is barely perceptible to the human eye.Advantages:Less heat lossNo impairment of the mains voltageEasy to implement Disadvantages:Flickering of the light, which can be annoying for some peopleLimited dimmability, otherwise the light flickers too much Leading edge dimming (RC):With phase angle dimming, the current flow is interrupted at the beginning and end of each switching period. As a result, there is no direct regulation of the current flow and there is no flickering of the light. Leading edge dimming is therefore particularly suitable for sensitive applications where uniform light is important. This is the case, for example, in hospitals or galleries.Advantages:No flickering of the light because the current flow is not interruptedMore even light image than with RL dimming Disadvantages:Higher losses due to heat developmentImpairment of the mains voltage with strong dimming Dimming LEDsA dimmable LED lamp is always marked as 'dimmable'. You can usually find the information on the packaging or in the product description. If you cannot find any indication of dimmability, the LED cannot be dimmed.You can use both RC technology and RL technology to dim LEDs. Please judge for yourself which one is the right one for you. Alternatively, you can use dimmers with pulse width modulation. This is the most commonly used variant for dimming LEDs. With pulse width modulation, the current flow is periodically interrupted for a specific interval. As a result, the longer the OFF interval, the less bright the LED will shine.What options are there for operating dimmers?There are several ways you can adjust the brightness on your dimmer. Most models have a dial. Other models have buttons or a touch field. The brightness is changed here, for example, by pressing the UP and DOWN buttons. With a remote touch dimmer, a short touch switches the dimmer on and off, a longer touch impulse causes a change in brightness. There is also the option of controlling with a control voltage. Almost every switch manufacturer has such models in their switch range.Tips for using dimmersDimmers are often used in living rooms to adapt the lighting to the situation at hand. For example, you can set the mood at a dinner party with dimmed lights or turn the lights down completely for a romantic evening for two. Dimmers are also very popular in bedrooms, as they slowly ease the transition to sleep. Dimmers can also be useful in wellness areas such as bathrooms or saunas. For example, when entering the sauna, the light can be dimmed down to promote relaxation. Dimmers can also be used in the aquarium. This allows the lighting to simulate natural daylight. This is for the well-being of the fish. Dimmers at the workplace significantly reduce direct glare and disruptive reflections on the screen. This can help you concentrate better and work without interruption.Dimming in the KNX building managementThe KNX building management is a complex system that enables the automation and control of light, heating and air conditioning in a house or apartment. A central function in the KNX building management is the integration of dimmers, which enable the brightness to be regulated. Dimming actuators are usually used for this in conjunction with pushbutton sensors or multiple operating devices. These replace conventional dimmers. For more information, we recommend our 'Dimming actuators' catalogue.What do the letters 'R - L - C' on a dimmer mean?The letter 'R' on a dimmer means it is suitable for the resistive loads of incandescent lamps, halogen lamps and the like. The 'L', on the other hand, stands for inductive loads from low-voltage lamps with a conventional transformer. And 'C' means capacitive loads from low-voltage lamps with electronic transformers.

Blind switch-push button - Do you have numerous windows and would like to operate your blinds or roller shutters easily and conveniently at the push of a button? No problem. If your shading has drive motors, you can easily control the up and down with a blind switch. With blind switches from the eibabo® shop, you can dispense with the hassle of manually opening and closing and equip your building with a high-quality electric blind control. If you want it to be particularly convenient, then products from our smart home range might also be an option for you. Talk to us, we are specialists in the field of building automation.Image: Busch Jaeger 2000/4 US shutter switch insertWhat are blind switches?Blind switches or buttons for roller shutters are components for controlling blinds and roller shutters. However, it is also possible to connect drives for opening and closing awnings, roller shutters and similar things. The polarity is reversed by operating the respective rocker switches or buttons or by turning a toggle or a key in different directions. This causes the actuator or motor to be controlled in two different directions.Please noteYou cannot use a normal switch to control blinds. In the case of blind buttons or blind switches, the control is interlocked. This means that there can be either only the up command or the down command. Simultaneous actuation in both directions is not possible.In addition to the simple switches and buttons, models with a latching function, rotary key switches, variants with remote control or radio control and devices with a bus connection for home automation are also available. The switches for surface mounting and flush mounting are also available.Special features of the classic roller shutter switchThe classic among roller shutter switches looks like a light switch. Installed in a conventional switch box or surface-mounted, operation is usually carried out using two buttons (up button and down button) or a two-way button. Normally you have to press the respective button until the desired position of the shading is reached. The motor stops when a button is released. The same applies to the rocker switch with the two-way button. With a latching switch, you press the button for the corresponding direction and the motor opens or closes the shade to the end position. If you want to stop this process, you can do so using a stop function. This is triggered by pressing it again or in the opposite direction.Special features of a rotary switch / toggle switch for blinds and roller shuttersTechnically, the rotary switch is identical to the classic roller shutter switch. The difference lies in the operation. With these models, you turn the so-called knob to the left or right to determine the direction in which the motor runs. Here, too, you have the choice between models with a locking function or variants in which you have to hold the toggle in the desired position.qualityAll blind switches in the eibabo® technology store come from well-known manufacturers such as Berker, Gira, Somfy, Jung, Siemens, Hager and Busch Jaeger. We regularly use this high-quality branded product in our own projects.Special features of a key switch for blinds and roller shuttersA key switch is rarely used in private rooms. In publicly accessible areas, however, the rotary key switch offers effective protection against use by unauthorized persons. A key is required for operation, which is turned in the lock to the left or right for the desired direction. Here, too, a snap-in function is optionally possible. Such a switch is usually surrounded by a solid metal housingAdvantages and disadvantages of manual blind controlThis purely mechanical type of control is comparatively simple and works depending on the type of shading:by means of a rotatable shaft, which is manually driven by a torsion bar or a crankpurely due to the gravity of the roller shutters or awnings - often a belt causes the shading to be lowered and pulled up The systems are robust and mostly low-maintenance. In comparison to the automatic solution, it is operated entirely without electricity. The shading can thus be controlled independently of existing lines or the availability of electricity. In addition, this variant is easier to install. No cables need to be laid. Manual control is usually cheaper than automatic control. With a manual blind control, it is not possible to group several shadings and regulate them together. Each window must be adjusted individually. It is also not possible to open or close according to a predetermined time setting, the position of the sun or the wind load.Advantages and disadvantages of an electric blind controlThe main advantage of the electrified blind control is the increased comfort. The basic functionality is identical to manual control. But instead of having to turn the crank, you can simply open and close your shading with the push of a button. With appropriate cabling, several windows can be operated simultaneously, but not independently of each other. The disadvantages are the higher installation costs and the dependence on electricity. In the event of a power failure, it is generally not possible to move the shading. The electrical control forms the basis for automating the system. However, this is not yet a 'real' automation. This offers even more comfort.Advantages and disadvantages of automatic blind controlThere are countless ways to respond to personal needs or environmental influences with automatic control. With the term 'Smart Home' we describe the automation of buildings or apartments in which all technical communication is combined in a single network. With sensors and actuators, the intelligent house handles many processes independently, including the control of roller shutters, awnings, roller shutters and blinds:With light sensors, the shading is regulated automatically depending on the intensity of the natural light and the direction of the sun's rays.Temperature sensors set the shading in motion as soon as the temperature in the room rises above a set value.Timers ensure automatic timing.Weather stations and precipitation sensors react to wind and rain, retract the shading and protect it from damage. TIPThe automated blind control can be wired or wireless, so the control can be central, decentralized or remote. This maximum level of comfort and flexibility is offset by higher installation costs for actuators, sensors and other software and hardware. In addition, when selecting wired devices, it is necessary to provide a separate data line. As a layman, you usually have to consult a specialist for the basic setup of the network. When the system is running, a lot of energy can also be saved with optimized processes. Installing automated shutters and blinds is a trendsetting way to control lighting in apartments and houses. This saves time, effort and energy. If you are interested in building automation, you will find everything you need here in the eibabo® shop.

Rope light - LED strips are considered flexible and energy-saving lighting alternatives. But what criteria do I use to select an LED strip from a multitude of offers? How long does an LED strip light last? Many questions, to which we will give answers in the following article.Why are LED strip lights so popular?When LED technology became suitable for the masses and was available inexpensively everywhere, completely new and very flexible possibilities for the decoration and lighting of houses, apartments and other areas of life opened up for us consumers. Small dimensions, flexibility, enormous service life, good light output and different color rendering are still the most important positive properties of LED light strips. Of course, saving high energy costs and the lack of alternatives to LEDs also play an important role. Constant competition between manufacturers also leads to falling production costs and end consumer prices. Many of the products are operated with 12 V or 24 V and are therefore not dangerous in use.Where are LED strips used?The areas of application of the LED strips are hardly limited. Thanks to the use of high-power LEDs, you can use the products as the main light. But LED strips are also ideally suited as decorative lighting on and in cupboards, in various niches or to illuminate the work area in the kitchen. In the commercial sector, you can use it to illuminate goods and offers in shop windows and shelves. TipUnder no circumstances should LED strips be severely bent or kinked. This can break circuit paths or damage LEDs, resistors and contacts. You can achieve breathtaking lighting effects with RGB strips or color-changing strips. Typically, the color and brightness of such a band is controlled by a remote control. You can adapt the lighting to your current mood, especially in quiet places. Of course, waterproof versions are also available. You can light up gardens, facades, terraces or use them to simulate the daily routine in the aquarium. Car lovers use colored LED strips to illuminate the underbody of the car, the rims or the license plate. In architecture, planners set great accents with LED strips. Creative solutions include colored facades and window frames, indirectly illuminated walls or illuminated baseboards.In other words: due to the wide range of design options, LED strips have become indispensable and are used in the design of almost every interior.Image: EVN SB542430509902 LED stripWhat is the difference between LED strips?The offer is huge. The Internet is full of special offers, which are made in China with the cheapest components, imported in huge quantities and sold at cheap prices. We also offer hundreds of variants here in the eibabo® shop, but the majority of them are from well-known manufacturers. It is not that easy to find the right product for individual use. So what selection criteria should you consider?Does the product come from a well-known manufacturer?How long is the lifespan?What power supply is required?Do I want monochrome or colored LEDs?Which tape is best?How many LEDs should be installed per meter?Does the product have to be waterproof?What length do I need?Does the tape have to withstand special conditions such as heat or mechanical loads?and much more So pay attention to the information in the product descriptions and put the price in the background. Why? You will find out in the next section.What affects the quality of an LED strip?All tapes look more or less the same and the reason for a price difference is often not apparent even at second glance. However, what matters most to you as a consumer is its lifespan, delivering a constant level of brightness over that period, and its power consumption. The heart of an LED is its crystal. This is created as part of a complex process that requires a lot of technology, knowledge and experience. Few companies rise to the challenge of producing perfect crystals. However, these are the basis for a high-quality end product. The lifetime of such a crystal is determined by its degradation. definitionDegradation is the aging process of the crystal, which causes an LED to become progressively dimmer over its life cycle. Degradation leads to a drop in luminous flux over time. With high-quality goods, the luminous flux drops by around 2% for 10,000 hours of operation. Inferior LEDs lose up to 20% of their luminous flux in the same time. However, this development does not only depend on the crystal, but also on the design of the LED body and its connections. An LED gets very hot during operation and the better the heat is dissipated, the more sophisticated the housing and the longer the service life of the LED. The design of the contact connections is also important. In a circuit there are usually several LED chips in series plus resistors. Surely you have already seen that with poor-quality soldering of the chips, the entire serial circuit on a certain section of the LED tape fails, or individual colors stop working.Already knew?LEDs do not emit white light. White light is created from the mixture of equal parts of all spectral colors. If none of these colors dominates, the light appears white, more precisely not colored.Depending on the type of tape, the white light color is mixed from red, green and blue light. However, this mixed white looks very unnatural. So-called RGBW tapes therefore have an additional LED, which emits high-quality white light. In other words: the production of LEDs with white light is complicated. It is usually formed by passing blue light through a yellow phosphor. Depending on the phosphor, the 'white' LED lights up more yellowish or more bluish. It is therefore important before manufacturing an LED strip to select and calibrate the individual LEDs according to various criteria. This step is time-consuming and is not carried out by all manufacturers. In particular, because the manufacturers of LED strips are not necessarily the producers of the LEDs. The use of different LEDs from different batches or producers leads to an uneven light pattern of the white light. With LED strips, the uniformity of the white glow is therefore a quality feature.power adapterThe power supply should provide enough power for the LED strip. An LED light strip with a length of 5 meters and a power consumption of 20 watts per meter requires a 100 watt power supply. Please plan an additional 10% reserve.An LED emits light in a specific direction. In order to achieve uniformity here too, lenses and other optical elements are used. The higher the quality, the better the color rendering and the lower the loss of luminous flux.How do I know if an LED strip is high quality?Now you know how (at least in part) the price difference comes about. If you want to enjoy your LED strip for a long time, invest a few euros more. The difference isn't huge, but it will save you trouble and early repairs. You can use the following tests to better assess the quality of an LED strip:tip 1Check the 'white' light the tape produces. Blue, yellow or reddish deviations should not occur. Contrasting sunglasses may make it easier to spot differences.tip 2A noticeable decrease in brightness on the last LEDs of a band indicates poor quality of certain components.tip 3If it is not possible to test the LED strip before buying it, a look at the soldering points between the LEDs and the carrier material will help. All solder points should look the same. Make sure that the conductor tracks on the carrier material are as wide and thick as possible. In the case of inferior goods, conductor tracks that are too weak lead to an increased voltage drop and thus to differences in brightness.tip 4Choose products from companies with many years of experience in the field of household lighting, including LED. They value a good reputation, have long-established contacts with suppliers and are unlikely to produce inferior goods. Pay attention to the guarantee.
