If you suddenly get rich and do not know where to attach treasures, we suggest investing in a bright and joyful mood from decorating the house. No, this is not a golden toilet bowl and not a full-wall plasma, although it would not hurt. Create a stylish and memorable design will help the LED cord, which serves as a bright garland for lighting facades and trees, as well as the original interior.

LED cord, what is it?
It is noted that when creating a comfortable home environment, the main role is assigned to lighting.
In interior design, in addition to basic lighting, attention is paid to highlighting elements that are performed using LED technology. LED strips and cords create uniform dense lighting without flickering.
operational characteristics
Especially popular is the LED duralight cord ( duralight), which is a transparent flexible PVC product, in the form of a cylinder, inside which miniature LEDs are mounted on the microplate.
The number of light sources per 1 m of the cord is 36-42. Marking of LEDs: SMD 5050, 3528, 2835, 3014 and SMD 5630.
In LED SMD 5050 three crystals, in SMD 3528 - one. The lighting provided by the SMD 5050 diode is brighter.
The cross-section of the cord is round (13 mm) and rectangular (10.5 x 12.5 mm).
LED cords two- and three-core are designed for circuits supply voltage 220-240 V, 50 Hz with the power of the consumer
1.5 W / m.
The cord material is mechanically strong, waterproof and frost-resistant. Protection class of the LED cord for the house IP44 and IP67 for external connection. The delivery set includes a 230 V power cable.
The service life of duralight of bright and saturated lighting reaches 10-12 years. Manufacturers supply the LED cord in the bay with a certain cutting step, the cutting module depends on the model and is 2 and 4 m.
Helpful Tips
It is necessary to distinguish the connection of the cord according to the version of the section and the number of wires of the conductor. It is clear that the 220 V LED cord does not require an additional connection of the power supply unit and the transformer.
How to connect the LED cord
The connection of the cord round and flat section is slightly different.
we connect round duralight
A set of connection is included in the delivery of any cord on the LEDs.
To connect a round duralight it is recommended as follows. We combine the plug and cord contacts and check the polarity of the connection. If the polarity of the two-plug plug and the LED cord is respected when connected, the duralight will glow immediately. Otherwise, we exchange contacts.
Then tighten the sleeve of the plug to the end and check the reliability of the connection. If the connection strength is not strong, it produces heat shrinkage. Now duralight can be used for lighting.
Recall that forks, end caps and central connectors are shipped separately. The power cord must be equipped with an internal diode bridge.
connection of flat duralight
The plug from the connection set is disassembled by unscrewing the four fixing screws with a Phillips screwdriver, and remove the cover. We install the three wires of the plug into the holes located on the end of the cord. Plug it into the socket and check the polarity.
If the polarity is respected, the duralight glows at once, if not, we change the contacts. Then turn the plug 180 ° and proceed to install the cord for lighting on the working surface of the ceiling, walls and floor or furniture.
The scheme of the three-core LED cord and its connection is similar to the connection of the LED strip 220V or 12V.
Helpful Tips
The difference in the performance of the 12-volt LED cord in a convenient flexible plastic sheath that is not equipped, like a 12V or 220V tape, with an adhesive layer on the back, allows simple and affordable installation.
How to do this is shown here.
Installation of the cord: recommendations for the use of fittings
Use an LED street cord can be in the architectural lighting of the perimeters of the facades, entrance panels and for creating different patterns.
To do this, the duralight is located along the perimeter, excluding rounding or curly transitions. It is recommended to observe the sharpness of the angles and the straightness of the light circuit.
fastening elements
For fixing the LED cord of round shape with a cross section of 13 mm, use an accessory (clip) in the form of a corner with a flexible clamp in the form of a semicircle.
The cord is placed in the clamp of the corner, which is pre-attached with traditional fasteners in place. For fixing a flat duralight I use staples of a rectangular shape. But a special glamor is the transparent skirting board for the LED cord. Then, forward, in a year of light technologies with a transparent skirting board with cable channel Hager.tehalit SL and profiles equipped with a light diffuser!
transparent skirting boards for LED string
Transparent plinth Hager.tehalit SL is a standard profile with a cable channel, consisting of a cover and shaped parts. The cover and base of the skirting board are made of PVC or ABS plastic.
Shaped parts have an adjustment of the inner and outer angles of 83-135 °. The LED cord is placed in the cable channel profile and fixed.
In addition, the plinth, designed for installation of the duralight, has a peculiar configuration and is equipped with a diffuser of light.
It is possible to use aluminum profiles for LED strip type BG1 P60, BIL 70, BLL 94 R.
The profile of the skirting board under the LED strip or cord can be used as a ceiling skirting board, door casing and framing of window openings.
LED cord in the interior
Duralight successfully used to highlight items and interior elements:
• for accentuation of door, window and arched openings
• for lighting niches, furniture, kitchen shelves and tables
• when highlighting steps of stairs and skirting boards
• Illumination of tension and plasterboard ceilings.
Mount the cord in inconspicuous but easy-to-install locations.
However, the range of application and use is not limited to this list. Perhaps in the near future, "flexible neon" will provide lighting at all 360 degrees.
