How They Work

An LED strip light operates on low-voltage DC power (typically 12V or 24V), which is supplied by an external power adapter or driver that converts standard AC power from a wall outlet. The strip itself is composed of small sections, each containing a group of LEDs wired in a series along with a resistor to regulate the current and prevent the LEDs from overheating. These sections are then wired in parallel to the main circuit, which ensures consistent brightness down the length of the strip.
