1. Brightness and power
Engineering light strip: Usually has high brightness, high power, and brightness up to 2000 lumens/meter, suitable for places where high intensity lighting is needed.
Household light strip: relatively low brightness and small power, usually between 500-1000 lumens/meter, suitable for soft lighting needs in home environments.
2. Durability
Engineering light strip: It uses industrial grade materials, has a high waterproof and dustproof grade (IP65 and above), can adapt to harsh environmental conditions and have a long service life.
Household light strips: Usually use ordinary materials, with a low protection level (such as IP20 or IP33), mainly suitable for indoor dry environments and relatively low durability.
3. Heat dissipation performance
Engineering light strip: Due to its high power, it is usually equipped with efficient heat dissipation designs, such as aluminum substrates or heat sinks, to ensure long-term stable operation.
Household light strip: low power, low heat dissipation demand, generally use flexible PCB board, and the heat dissipation design is relatively simple.
4. Applicable scenarios
Engineering light strip: mainly used in large-scale engineering places such as commercial buildings, bridges, landscape lighting, outdoor billboards, etc., and can provide large-area and high-intensity lighting effects.
Household light strips: mainly used for home decoration, such as background walls, cabinet lighting, holiday decoration, etc., suitable for creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
5. Installation requirements
Engineering light strip: The installation process is relatively complicated and usually requires a professional team to operate, supporting customized length and voltage according to engineering needs.
Household light strip: simple installation and user can operate it by themselves. It usually uses plug-and-play method, suitable for ordinary families.
6. Cost
Engineering light strip: The initial cost is high, but due to its durability and low maintenance frequency, the long-term use cost is relatively low.
Household light strip: The initial cost is low, but the service life is short and may require regular replacement.
7. Maintenance frequency
Engineering light strip: Due to its high durability and stability, it has low maintenance frequency and is suitable for long-term use.
Household light strips: The maintenance frequency is relatively high, and the connection and brightness need to be checked regularly to ensure normal use.
8. Design standards
Engineering light strip: Comply with industrial-grade standards and can meet the strict requirements of complex projects.
Household light strip: Comply with home standards, and the design pays more attention to beauty and convenience.
9. Customized requirements
Engineering light strips: Supports highly customized, and can be specially designed according to different engineering needs to meet unique lighting and decoration requirements.
Household light strips: Usually standardized design is suitable for the general needs of ordinary families.
10. Summary
Due to its high brightness, durability and professional installation, engineering light strips have become the first choice for large-scale engineering and outdoor lighting, meeting complex ambient lighting needs and achieving unique visual effects through customized design. Household light strips are widely used in home decoration and local lighting because of their economical and convenient installation, which are suitable for creating a warm and comfortable living atmosphere.
