LED light diffusion strip are an integral part of LED profiles and a popular choice in our LED strip lighting solutions. They add versatility and ambiance to any space. In this article, we’ll delve into what LED light diffusers are, the various types available, their advantages, and how to select the right size for your project.
What is An LED Light Diffusion Strip?
LED light diffuser strips are accessories for LED profiles, essentially a type of PC cover. If you choose LED aluminum profiles as your LED light accessories, then the LED light diffuser strip acts as a covering layer for the LED light strip, evenly scattering light when powered on.
It effectively diffuses light, ensuring a uniform and consistent lighting effect. Diffuser strips are available in various colors, including transparent, frosted, milky white, and colored. Frosted diffuser strips effectively reduce the glare effect often seen in LED lights, while milky white diffuser strips provide even transparency.
Do LED Strip Lights Require a Diffuser?
LED light strips don’t necessarily require diffusers to function properly, but using a diffuser can significantly improve the lighting effect.
Diffusers help to disperse light more evenly, reducing glare and light spots. LED diffusers, used in conjunction with aluminum channels, protect the LED chips and enhance the aesthetics of the light fixture.
What Types of LED Light Diffusion Strip Are There?
LED diffusers come in a wide variety of types, primarily differing in color. Each type is designed to meet different lighting needs and preferences. Let’s explore some common types:
Transparent LED Strip Diffuser
Transparent diffusers allow for maximum light transmission, making them ideal for applications requiring high brightness. They offer excellent diffusion while maintaining light clarity and providing some protection for the LED chips.
Frosted LED Strip Diffuser
Frosted diffusers scatter light, creating a softer, more diffused lighting effect. They help reduce glare and hotspots, making them suitable for applications requiring soft ambient lighting.
Opal LED Strip Diffusers
Opal LED light diffusion combine transparency and diffusion. They emit a soft, even light while maintaining a certain level of light transmittance. Opal LED light diffusion are commonly used in architectural lighting and signage applications.
Black LED Strip Light Diffuser
Black diffusers absorb light and are typically used for specialised applications. They minimise reflections and glare. They are suitable for applications where light spill needs to be controlled, such as theater lighting or display cases.
What are the Benefits of Choosing an LED Diffuser for LED Strip Lights?
LED strip diffusers effectively enhance the lighting effect of LED linear lights. We typically offer diffusers in four colors.
Each diffuser has a different luminous effect, ensuring uniform light distribution after the LED strip is lit, preventing eye strain, and achieving better illumination.
LED strip diffusers are dustproof, protecting the LED strip from dust ingress and extending its lifespan. Furthermore, the diffusers utilize various special structures.
They employ a fully plastic tubular sealed structure with silicone plugs, achieving an IP65 waterproof rating. The thickened structure allows it to withstand high ground pressure. Lens-type diffusers can focus light, improving luminous efficiency.
How to Choose the Size of an LED Light Strip Diffuser?
Choosing the right color and size of LED strip light diffuser is crucial for achieving optimal performance and aesthetics. Here are some factors to consider:
Length: Measure the length of the LED strip. The length of the LED strip cover is generally consistent with the LED profile, available in 1m/pcs, 2m/pcs, and 3m/pcs.
Width: Ensure the width of the diffuser cover is compatible with the width of the LED strip.
Thickness: Consider the thickness of the diffuser cover to ensure it can be installed correctly and is compatible with the mounting accessories.
Customization: Some diffuser covers can be cut to size as needed, allowing for customization for specific applications.
