Led downlight or light emitting diode lights have proven their cost effective as well as environmentally energy efficient nature. With their advent into normal lighting functions the use of these LED lights in other domains have also been explored. This includes the use of thin flexible strips of LED in a variety of places as well as in utilitarian places.

 

Some of the various suggested uses for LED strips are in the headlights of cars and at the bottom of headlamps in other vehicles. This requires soldering of wires with the LED lights of the headlamps and the results are very good especially for those who like the lighting effects that are cool.

The UL T8 LED tube can also be used as decorative articles especially in Christmas tree decorations or places where there are lights hung up for special occasions. These are especially of great advantage in places where there is snowfall and people would still like to put up the festive lights. The waterproof LEDs offer this advantage since they are not affected by moisture.

LEDs which are waterproof are also used in lighting of water tanks in aquariums and swimming pools where illumination is necessary. 

The major manufacturers of the LED waterproof strips are Chinese companies. They also offer LEDs in various colors and this is in great competition with the regular GCL UL T8 LED tube or fluorescent lights.

The LED strips can also be used in interior and exterior decorations within residences to lend a stylish ambience to add to the look of the house. Other utility of the LED strips is gardens for lighting of the trees and plant to add a decorative air to the plants and setting.

One thing that must be considered while installing the waterproof lights is that the power supply must be completely dry. 

When it is called waterproof that means the exterior of the lights can be exposed to moisture but the circuitry must remain completely dry or it will short circuit and get damaged. The strips are available in different sizes and if longer strips need to be made they can be made by using connectors and soldering the smaller strips together.

Other places where this led flexible strip find use are in digital information panels to illuminate the background and in cabinet lighting and in televisions. They are also used in the lighting of traffic signals and other hi tech instruments. The research on its uses in other areas is still being carried out and it is sure to develop rapidly with coming times.LED strip light
