First, Practical Application Cases and Results
1. Lisbon Commercial Plaza
Application: External facade advertising light boxes utilize OSRAM chip-based high-voltage diffuse reflective linear light strips (220V), with IP67 protection rating, suitable for outdoor environments.
Highlights: Brightness and Uniformity: A single light strip boasts 8-12W power and a luminous flux of 1600 lm/m, ensuring daytime visibility for large light boxes (4000-5800 LUX) without voltage drop issues at the terminal.
Installation Efficiency: The parallel roller shutter design (30-40 strips per curtain) reduces wiring complexity through mainline connection, shortening construction time by 50%.
Protection: The adhesive-coated process and flame-retardant materials withstand rain and snow, preventing the risk of short circuits.
2. Bank of China and Chain Stores
Application: Several bank entrances and convenience stores (such as Lawson) use 220V high-voltage linear light bars, directly connected to the mains, eliminating the need for a power adapter.
Highlights: Cost Optimization: Compared to low-voltage solutions, overall costs are reduced by 30% (saving power and requiring less maintenance).
Visual Display: A built-in constant current driver ensures stable luminous flux, preventing "rib-line" patterns in advertising images and enhancing brand recognition.
Second, Customer Feedback and Pain Point Resolution
1. Installation Ease
Multiple contractors have reported that the "one-to-many" parallel design of rolling shutter light strips (for example, BlueView Optoelectronics' 220V light strips can connect up to 100 strips) significantly simplifies installation and is particularly suitable for high-rise exterior walls, eliminating the need for frequent relocation of power points.
2. Brightness and Stability
In outdoor applications, the 220V solution solves the problem of common voltage drop over long distances. For example, in the case of China Everbright Bank, the brightness attenuation at the end of the installation was less than 5%.
User Pain Point: Some users have reported overheating issues with low-quality light strips (such as overheating at the connection point). However, branded products (such as Rishang Optoelectronics) utilize aluminum baseplates to dissipate heat and optimize their lifespan to over 50,000 hours.
3. Cost-effectiveness and maintenance
The mall's operations department recognized the high-voltage solution's reduced maintenance frequency. For instance, in the Jilin Bank project, only two light strips were replaced within three years (failure rate <1%).
Cost Comparison: For instance, the 220V solution for a 100-square-meter light box saves approximately €290 in power costs compared to the low-voltage solution, resulting in annual electricity savings of over €1,000.
Third, Limitations and Improvements
1. Safety Risks
Please note that a professional installation is required for 220V systems, such as insulation treatment. For environments with high humidity, it is recommended to use IP68 protection, such as in canopy light boxes.
2. Short-range Application Disadvantages
Thin light boxes (thickness <8cm) may cause strong light projection, resulting in shadow streaks. Low-voltage diffuse reflective light strips are recommended.
AC110V/220V diffused roller rigid light strips are the preferred choice for exterior lighting in large shopping malls due to their high-brightness power supply, installation efficiency, and cost advantages. These products are especially well-suited for high-power, long-distance outdoor advertising light boxes, as demonstrated by the successful implementation at the Potsdamer Platz site. However, it should be noted that low-voltage solutions are recommended for thin light boxes, and enhanced protection is required for humid environments. Customer feedback indicates that these displays significantly enhance business image and attract more customers during nighttime hours. In the future, they will be integrated with intelligent control systems, such as light sensor adjustment.
