1. Strong flexibility- The can be easily bent, they are suitable for a variety of complex shapes and occasions. For example,it can be installed to the corner or around the ceiling to beautify the space for home decoration

The strip will generate heat during use, if the heat dissipation design is not reasonable, the heat can not be effectively distributed, which will lead to the high temperature, and then shorten its span life.‌

2. Energy saving and long life. - Compared with traditional lamps, the LED strips can save energy about 60%-80%, because the strip power is low, one meter is only 4.8W to 7.2W, so energy saving effect is significant‌. Life span is usually more than 20,000 hours

2. Protection level depends on design - low IP level products are easy to damage when using in moisture conditions (For example: no choose outdoor waterproof model )

3. Rich color with dimmable control: support RGB full color/monochrome selection - with the controller to achieve dynamic effects

3. Low quality products are prone to light decay, poor chips after six months of use may appear brightness decline or Color temperature drift, the light decay is closely related to the temperature of the PN junction, the higher temperature make the light decay earlier, and the brightness reduction faster ‌

4. Convenient installation without complex tools - the installation of the strips is very simple, and they can be installed on a variety of supporting surfaces with fixed clips and wire grooves etc. Due to the small size characteristics, the double-sided tape can also achieve the fixed function, without the need for professional installation.‌

4. The installation surface is high - rough/uneven surface is easy to fall off, and the strips cannot be twisted in any direction.

5. A wide range of applications - home decoration, architectural outline lighting, and business place decoration, such as ceiling, wall, bed, stairs, etc. Its flexible characteristics make the decorative effect more diversified and personalized.‌

5. Higher initial cost - the unit price of high-quality strips is higher than traditional lighting (But lower cost for long-term using)
