Hi this is Diego from SIRS-Electronics.
I wanted to quickly show you today the main differences
Between the low cost and the high quality LED RGB strip.
First thing that I wanted to show you is the voltage drop that
We have in the different setups. We have this setup for
The low cost RGB setup to 12 volts is consuming 3.31 amps equivalent 39 watts approximately.
We have this multi-meter use as a volt-meter right now is testing
The end of the strip is 9.1 we have almost 3 volts of power loss.
And from this other side we have the same setup set to 12 volts is consuming 3.48 amps
Is approximately equivalent to 41 watts.
If you see we have almost the same power consumption
But the power loss here is very different
We have 9.45 volts is approximately 2.5 volts of power loss.
And this is due to the PCB copper thickness and quality
I wanted to show you with the caliper we have the caliper setup to millimeters
This is 0.40 millimeters and this is the low cost, low cost is 0.29 millimeters.
That's the thickness differences.
The next comparison that I wanted to show you
Is the light color. We have bluish kind of color here
And this is solid cold white cold.
That means that the mix is very good very efficient very nice, very nice color.
Now, the next test I prepared for you is to compare the light out.
This one delivers a lot more light than this one.
We have the photometer here setup to lux times 10.
We would test this one to this distance is 2500 lux approximately.
Now, this other one high quality same distance is almost 3500 lux;
Same distance same power consumption same everything.
We sell both products but some people sell even lower quality than this one.
So,
In that case you will be ending up with probably less efficiency
Than the incandescent light invented by Thomas Edison one-hundred years ago.
So, the idea of using LED is to keep the efficiency as high as possible
That make the use of LED a good resource.
Thank you very much for watching.
