In the light strip controller, IR (infrared) and RF (radio frequency) are two common wireless communication methods. The IR controller uses infrared rays, with wavelengths typically ranging from 1um to 100um and frequencies between 300GHz and 400THz. It usually requires a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, meaning there should be no obstructions between them. For instance, like a TV remote control, it needs to be aimed directly at the device to operate. RF uses radio waves, with frequencies typically ranging from 3kHz to 300GHz. It does not require a line of sight and signals can penetrate walls, furniture, and other objects. Therefore, the distance and position restrictions between the controller and the light strip are relatively small. This article will detail other differences between IR and RF in their applications.
The controller of RF technology controls the light strips led through wireless radio frequency signals, featuring no need for alignment and a relatively long control distance. It is widely used in various scenarios such as homes, commercial Settings, and stages. It can control various types of lights, such as RGB, CCT, RGBCCT, single color, high-voltage COB, and addressable led strip, etc. It can not only adjust the color temperature, brightness and speed, but also provide more abundant and flexible lighting control options. This type of strip light usually has high flexibility and controllability, etc. This article will provide a detailed introduction to various types of strip lighting that RF technology can control, as well as their characteristics and application scenarios.
In the previous article, we introduced IR controllers in detail. So, do you often come across RF controllers? How much do you know about RF? In the light strip controller, RF stands for "Radio Frequency", that is, "radio frequency". It is a technology that uses radio waves for communication and is used to achieve wireless remote control functions. The working principle of RF remote control mainly involves three links: signal transmission, transmission and reception processing. This article will introduce in detail the working principle of RF and its advantages.
When purchasing a controller, have you noticed whether the controller you bought is an IR model or an RF model? Do you know how the IR controller controls the light strips and what its working principle is? In the light strip controller, IR is the abbreviation of Infrared Radiation, meaning infrared rays. It is a wireless communication technology that uses infrared light waves to transmit signals and is widely applied in scenarios such as remote control of household appliances and control of lamps. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the working principle, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the frequently used scenarios of IR.
When holding an event, lighting design is one of the key factors in creating an atmosphere. LED Light strips have become the preferred decorative tool for many events due to their flexibility and diversity. Choosing the right LED strip lights can not only enhance the visual effect of the event but also bring guests an unforgettable experience. This article will provide a detailed introduction on how to select and use LED strip lighting in different types of activities, as well as some practical purchasing suggestions.
When choosing LED light strips, consumers often encounter an important question: Should they choose waterproof led strip or non-waterproof ones? What are the differences between these two types of light strips? In which environments are they respectively applicable? This article will provide you with a detailed explanation of the differences between waterproof led lights and non-waterproof ip20 led flex strip, as well as the scenarios in which they are frequently used, to help you make a wise choice.
