An LED Strip Light (also known as an LED tape or ribbon light) is a flexible circuit board populated by surface mounted light-emitting diodes (SMD LEDs) that usually comes with an adhesive backing. Traditionally, strip lights had been used solely in accent lighting, backlighting, task lighting, and decorative lighting applications. Recent developments in increased luminous efficacy and longer lifespans have allowed LED strip lights to be used in applications such as high brightness task lighting, fluorescent and halogen lighting fixture replacements, indirect lighting applications, Ultra Violet inspection during manufacturing processes, set and costume desgn, and even growing plants. == Design == Variables in strip lighting consist of colour, adhesives, and water resistance. Water resistant strip lighting is covered in a heat conducting epoxy to protect the circuitry from direct contact with water. The most common design differences are in how individual LEDs are controlled, specifically differences in color and whether or not each LED is addressable.〔Castle, Alex (How To Get Started with Programmable RGB LED Strip Lighting ), TESTED〕 *Single Color, non-addressable: Every LED on the strand is a single white colour, typically ranging from 2700K to 6500K in colour temperature,〔(Your Guide to Buying LED Strip Lights ), eBay〕 or any of several monochrome colors covering the range of th visible spectum (generally from 400-700 nanometers in wavelength). A single chip address all of the LEDs in the strand at once so each setting is applied to every LED *Multicolor, non addressable: LED's of different alternating fixed colors, usually red, green, blue and amber, on a single address. *RGB, non-addressable: Similar to the single color, non-addressable LED strand, RGB strands have multiple colours available but the entire strand uses the same address so all LEDs show the same colour. *RGB, Addressable: Multiple colours and addresses. Each LED has its own chip meaning they can be individually triggered for chasing, strobing, and colour changing.〔Schiller, Brad (The Automated Lighting Programmer's Handbook )〕 All LED strip lights require a driver and typically operate on 12 or 24 volts of direct current from the driver. USB strip lights operate on the standard 5-volt direct current used by USB devices. Any customizations require an LED controller to adjust brightness, colour, or individual LED activity. This can be done with an included controller or customized with a microcontroller.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「LED strip light」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
