Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of light strip technology, and in particular to a honeycomb anti-glare light strip. Background Technology

[0002] LED strips, as a commonly used lighting decorative element, are widely used in various scenarios such as home decoration, commercial lighting, and outdoor landscaping. During the installation process, current technology typically uses double-sided adhesive to fix the LED strips.

[0003] Traditional anti-glare neon light strips use a film-stretching process, which not only has poor anti-glare effect but also incurs high costs. Therefore, this invention proposes a honeycomb anti-glare light strip to at least partially solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this utility model provides a honeycomb anti-glare light strip that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses a honeycomb anti-glare light strip, comprising: The light strip body is composed of N independent light strip units, where N≥1; Each of the aforementioned light strip units is equipped with at least one LED chip; A dark-colored printing layer is applied to the surface of the light strip body, but does not completely cover the surface of the light strip body; The area not covered by the surface of the light strip body forms a geometric shape.

[0006] Optionally, the light strip body is carried by a PCB or FPC; and is covered with a transparent sealant. The dark-colored printed layer is located on the front of the transparent sealant.

[0007] Optionally, the back of the transparent sealant is provided with 3MD adhesive.

[0008] Optionally, the LED chip is a monochrome LED chip or an RGBW LED chip.

[0009] Optionally, the geometry is a regular hexagon.

[0011] The embodiments of this utility model have the following advantages: The light strip body is composed of N independent light strip units, where N≥1; each group of light strip units has at least one LED chip; a dark printed layer is applied to the surface of the light strip body, but does not completely cover the surface; the areas not covered by the light strip body form geometric shapes.

[0013] The attached diagram is described below: 101. LED strip body; 102. Printed layer; 103. Geometric shape; 104. 3M adhesive. Detailed Implementation

[0014] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments of this utility model, a honeycomb anti-glare light strip includes: a light strip body 101, which is composed of N independent light strip units, wherein N≥1; each group of light strip units is provided with at least one LED chip; a dark printed layer 102 is disposed on the surface of the light strip body 101, and does not completely cover the surface of the light strip body 101; the position not covering the surface of the light strip body 101 forms a geometric shape 103.

[0016] To address the issue of poor anti-glare performance, a dark-colored printing layer 102 is used to partially cover the LED strip body 101 and form a geometric shape 103. This geometric shape 103 can block some direct light rays, controlling the light emission range and significantly improving the anti-glare effect. Compared to traditional film-forming processes, this method offers more precise light control. The printing layer 102 process eliminates the need for complex film-forming equipment and procedures, reduces material costs (such as printing ink) compared to film-forming materials, and simplifies the processing, significantly lowering overall production costs. The LED strip body 101 consists of N independent LED strip units. When a segment malfunctions, the faulty unit can be replaced individually, eliminating the need for complete replacement and reducing maintenance costs and resource waste. Furthermore, the number of LED strip units (N≥1) can be adjusted according to actual lighting needs to adapt to different lighting scenarios.

[0017] Furthermore, the light strip body 101 is based on a PCB or FPC; a transparent sealant is applied to its exterior; and the dark-colored printed layer 102 is located on the front of the transparent sealant.

[0018] The aforementioned enhancements to structural stability and protection specifically involve using either a PCB (Printed Circuit Board) or FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) as the carrier for the light strip. PCBs offer good rigidity, making them suitable for fixed installations; FPCs provide flexibility, adapting to curved, arc-shaped, and other irregular mounting surfaces, thus broadening application scenarios. The external transparent sealant isolates dust and moisture, protecting the LED chips and circuitry and extending the light strip's lifespan. By placing a dark-colored printed layer on the front of the transparent sealant (i.e., the light-emitting side), it directly acts on the light emission path, preventing the anti-glare effect from weakening due to improper placement of the printed layer. Simultaneously, the transparent sealant does not affect the printed layer's control over light and protects the printed layer from wear, thereby ensuring the stability of the anti-glare effect.

[0019] Furthermore, the transparent sealant has 3M adhesive 104 on its back. With 3M adhesive 104 on the back of the transparent sealant, there is no need for additional drilling, applying glue, or using fasteners. Simply peel off the release paper of the 3M adhesive 104 to stick the light strip to flat surfaces such as walls, ceilings, and furniture. This simplifies the installation process, reduces installation difficulty and time costs, and the strong adhesion of 3M adhesive ensures a stable structure after application, preventing it from easily falling off.

[0020] The LED chip can be a monochrome LED chip or an RGBW LED chip. The LED chip can be selected as monochrome or RGBW type. The monochrome chip can meet the basic lighting needs of a single color tone (such as white, warm yellow); the RGBW chip (including red, green, blue and white) can achieve dynamic effects such as multi-color light switching, gradation, and flashing through control, which can be adapted to diverse scenarios such as decorative lighting and ambient lighting, and enhance the product's market competitiveness.

[0021] The geometric shape 103 is a regular hexagon. Preferably, the geometric shape 103 is a regular hexagon, which has the characteristics of being closely arranged and without gaps. This allows the printed layer to form a uniform shielding structure on the surface of the light strip, preventing light from shining directly through gaps and causing glare. At the same time, the symmetrical structure of the regular hexagon allows the light to be emitted more evenly from uncovered areas, improving lighting comfort.

[0022] The printing layer 102 is printing ink. The printing layer 102 is preferably printing ink. Printing ink has mature materials, strong color stability, and is not easy to fade with long-term use, so it can maintain the anti-glare effect continuously. Moreover, the printing ink has low procurement cost and mature printing technology, which can realize mass production and further reduce production costs. At the same time, the ink can adjust the color depth according to the needs to adapt to different anti-glare intensity requirements.

[0023] As an example, this embodiment of the honeycomb anti-glare light strip based on a PCB carrier addresses the problems of poor anti-glare performance and high cost of traditional stretched film light strips by providing a low-cost light strip with high anti-glare effect.

[0024] The LED strip body 101 uses a PCB as its carrier, with a thickness of 1.6mm and made of FR-4 epoxy resin board. The strip body consists of 10 independent LED strip units (N=10), each 10cm long. These units are connected in series via copper wires, with a 2mm gap between adjacent units for easy bending, installation, maintenance, and replacement. Each unit has three monochrome white LED chips (SMD 2835) soldered on it. The LED chips are evenly distributed along the length of the unit, spaced 5cm apart. Each LED chip has a power of 0.5W and a color temperature of 4000K (neutral white).

[0025] A 0.8mm thick layer of transparent silicone sealant is applied to the outside of the LED strip. The silicone material is resistant to high and low temperatures (-40℃ to 80℃) and waterproof (IP65 protection rating), protecting the LED chip and PCB circuit from external environmental influences. The front side (light emitting side) of the transparent sealant is flat and without protrusions. A dark printing layer 102 is applied to the front side of the transparent sealant using black printing ink (UV-curable ink) via screen printing. The printing layer does not completely cover the front side of the transparent sealant; the uncovered area forms a regular hexagonal geometry with a side length of 5mm and a printing layer width of 2mm between adjacent hexagons. The center of the hexagon is aligned with the center of the LED chip, ensuring that the light emitted by the LED chip is emitted from the hexagonal area. The printing layer blocks direct light, achieving an anti-glare effect. 3M Adhesive 104 (model 3M 9448A) is adhered to the back of the transparent sealant. The 3M Adhesive 104 is 0.15mm thick, and the release paper is made of PET material. During installation, simply peel off the release paper and attach the light strip to the plaster molding on the living room ceiling. No additional fasteners are needed, and installation takes only 5 minutes, improving installation efficiency by 80% compared to the screw-fixing method of traditional membrane light strips. When the light strip is working, the light is emitted evenly from a regular hexagonal area, with a glare rating (UGR) of 16, lower than the UGR of 25 for traditional membrane light strips, demonstrating significant anti-glare effect. The total production cost is 30% lower than that of traditional membrane light strips, meeting the dual requirements of low cost and high anti-glare performance.

[0026] It should be noted that the aforementioned N independent light strip units, where N is an integer from 1 to 100, have the following characteristics: when N=1, the light strip body 101 is a single independent light strip unit, suitable for short-distance lighting scenarios; when N>1, the light strip units are connected in series or parallel through wires to form a long-distance lighting strip. Each light strip unit has 1-10 LED chips, which are evenly distributed along the length of the light strip unit. The aforementioned geometric shape 103 can also include regular shapes such as squares, equilateral triangles, and circles. The aforementioned transparent sealant is made of silicone or epoxy resin. Silicone has good flexibility and resistance to high and low temperatures, making it suitable for FPC carriers; epoxy resin has good rigidity and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for PCB carriers. The front side of the aforementioned transparent sealant faces the light emission side; that is, after the light strip is installed, the front side of the transparent sealant faces the area to be illuminated.
