6 Methods to Identify the Quality of LED Light Strips | Professional Guide from Shenzhen Jomo Lighting
2025-06-11
Choosing reliable LED strips can be challenging. As a professional LED strip manufacturer, Shenzhen Jomo Lighting shares 6 core methods to identify premium LED strips and avoid common pitfalls:
1. Check LED Chip Brand: The Foundation of Quality
· Core light sources directly impact brightness and lifespan. Prioritize strips using reputable LED chip brands like Cree, Osram, Nichia, or Epistar. Shenzhen Jomo Lighting strictly uses top-tier chips to ensure superior light quality and longevity.

2. Verify Color Rendering Index (CRI/Ra): True Color Accuracy
· Higher Ra values mean more accurate color representation. Opt for LED strips with Ra ≥ 90, especially for retail displays or home lighting. Avoid strips with Ra < 80, as they offer poor color rendering. Jomo products consistently feature high-CRI solutions.

3. Inspect Solder Joint Quality: Reliable Connections
Examine solder points: They should be smooth, (full), and evenly cover the pad, with no cold joints or weak solder. Poor-quality strips have rough, uneven, or skimpy solder, leading to dead LEDs or flickering. Jomo uses precision SMT manufacturing for robust, reliable solder joints.

4. Assess Heat Dissipation: Critical for Long Lifespan
Touch the strip while operating: High-quality strips (especially high-power types) should remain cool to the touch. Excessive heat drastically shortens LED life. Check the substrate material: Aluminum PCBs (MCPCB) offer far superior heat dissipation compared to standard FR4 fiberglass boards. Jomo's high-power strips feature premium aluminum substrates.

5. Compare Brightness & Luminous Efficacy: Efficiency Matters
Compare brightness at the same wattage: Higher brightness usually indicates better efficiency. Ask for luminous efficacy (measured in lumens per watt, LM/W). Quality strips typically achieve 120-200+ LM/W. Low efficacy means higher energy consumption and heat. Jomo focuses on efficacy optimization for significant energy savings.

6. Look for Safety Certifications: Compliance is Key
Verify essential safety certifications like UL (North America), CE (Europe), and RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances). These marks confirm the product passed strict safety, EMC, and environmental tests. Non-certified products pose risks. Jomo products meet major international certification requirements.
