Never loved how the decorators interpreted your party theme? Were desperately waiting for the solution which could be handy and easy to install so that your imagination can come into picture?

Seems like the invention of Magik-LED strip lights have come like a blessing for those who had these questions racing in their heads. For those who are specific about their parties but are not that good with their hands on dangerous wires, these basics below can help you be your own party decorator with some basic info and techniques for using LED strips:

LED Strip Lights

Types of LED Strip lights

a. LED rope lights: LED chips encased in plastic covering.
b. LED ribbons: Flat surface lightings with LED chips without any covering.
c. Self-Adhesive: The ones which can be pasted on the wall without any need of your nails and tapes.

Options available in the market:

You would be able to find the following variations in LED Strip lights -

a. Single color (with a long list of color options)
b. Multi-color
c. Static and pattern based lighting which light with different patterns and timings
d. Variable lengths as per your need which can be the length or the LED count (look for LED strip lights with highest number of chips per foot)
e. Water resistant

What all would you need to know:

a. Basic Electronic knowledge about Volts & Watts.

b. Understand the points from where you can cut the lights (the brass strips in between the LED chips). These are small horizontal brass lines marked with some alphabets on both sides which is the right area to cut the LED strip.

c. The LED strips are joined according to the space between the LED chips that needs to be taken care of while creating a joint. Soldering iron can be used to make such joints and achieve a length as per your space.

d. Find appropriate power supply. For example, 12v power supply with 2Ampere will be good enough to light up a 5 meter LED strip light. Use an adapter with appropriate watts (watts = ampere X volts).
