[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, constant current IC light strips have gradually become a commonly used type of lighting fixture. Constant current IC light strips can be cut at the connection points of the light strip units, making installation and use convenient. Two-wire five-color or two-wire dual-color constant current IC light strips are a type of light strip, frequently used for decorative ambient lighting and main lighting. However, existing constant current IC light strips have a relatively complex structure, high manufacturing cost, and long light strip units that are inconvenient to cut. Damage to one LED can affect the normal operation of other LEDs, making installation and use inconvenient. Inconsistent brightness at the beginning and end requires additional power, resulting in poor decorative lighting effects and a poor user experience. Therefore, to avoid the shortcomings of existing technology, it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content
