How Are LEDIA Patented Waterproof LED Strip Lights Manufactured?
- 9 Dec 2024
From outdoor displays to bathroom fixtures, LED strip lights offer versatility and durability that other lighting solutions can’t match. But not all waterproof LED strip lights are created equal. At LEDIA, we take pride in our patented manufacturing process that ensures each strip light not only meets but exceeds industry standards.
In this blog post, we’ll explore the intricacies of how LEDIA manufactures its high-quality waterproof LED strip lights. You’ll learn about the components used, the detailed steps of our unique process, and the benefits of our intelligent manufacturing techniques. Let’s dive in.
What Are Waterproof LED Strip Lights?
Waterproof LED strip lights are flexible circuits embedded with light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These strips are designed to withstand exposure to water, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. The waterproofing is typically achieved using protective coatings or encapsulations that shield the LEDs and circuitry from moisture.
The Importance of Waterproofing in LED Strip Lights
Waterproofing in LED strip lights is essential for several reasons:
Durability: Waterproofing protects the LEDs and circuitry from moisture, extending the lifespan of the strip lights.
Versatility: These lights can be used in a variety of settings, including outdoor displays, bathrooms, and kitchens.
Safety: Proper waterproofing ensures that the lights can operate safely in wet conditions, reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
Applications of Waterproof LED Strip Lights
Waterproof LED strip lights have a wide range of applications, both indoors and outdoors:
Outdoor Lighting: Perfect for illuminating gardens, pathways, and architectural features.
Bathroom Fixtures: Ideal for adding ambient lighting around mirrors, showers, and bathtubs.
Kitchens: Great for under-cabinet lighting and creating a modern aesthetic.
Commercial Spaces: Used in retail displays, restaurants, and hotels to create inviting atmospheres.
Automotive: Often used to enhance the appearance of vehicles and provide additional lighting.
LEDIA’s Manufacturing Process Overview
At LEDIA, we have developed a patented process for manufacturing waterproof LED strip lights, ensuring high efficiency and superior quality. Here’s an overview of our process:
1. Teflon Coating Application
The first step involves applying a Teflon coating to the glue slots. This coating, maintained at 5±1 mil thickness, ensures that the glue does not adhere to the mold, allowing for easy removal and maintaining the mold’s integrity for 50,000-100,000 cycles.
2. Support Block Placement
U-shaped support blocks are placed into the glue slots to ensure stability during the curing process. These blocks are made from the same material as the glue (PU or silicone), ensuring seamless integration.
3. Lamp Board Installation
The LED lamp board, comprising a substrate, LED chips, electronic components, and a lead wire, is carefully positioned in the glue slot. The support blocks elevate the lamp board, creating a uniform gap for complete encapsulation.
4. Glue Dispensing
The glue dispensing machine accurately fills the glue slots, with the glue automatically leveling and filling all gaps. The dispensing head moves back and forth 2-4 times at a speed of 0.25 m/s to ensure even distribution.
5. Curing and Finalization
Once the glue is dispensed, it is left to cure, forming a single cohesive structure with superior waterproofing and durability. The result is a fully encapsulated LED strip light ready for various applications.
Benefits of LEDIA’s Intelligent Manufacturing Techniques
Our intelligent manufacturing techniques bring several benefits:
Increased Production Speed: Automation and precision in our process allow for faster production times.
Consistency: Each strip light is manufactured to exact specifications, ensuring uniform quality.
High-Quality Output: Our advanced techniques result in a superior product that meets the highest industry standards.
