A normal LED light transforms approximately 80-90 percent of electric energy to light. This high efficiency is achieved without sacrificing the light output. Such lights are also referred to as cool sources of light. The most important factor that contributes to the popularity of these lights is their cost. And the LED strip light is a popular choice on the LED light field which is good for holiday decoration. But if you only use it on holiday, then you will miss a lot fun. This time, let’s find how to use the LED string light for making a beautiful kitchen. anty881209wong 140113
1
Measure the space under the kitchen cabinets where you want to install the LED lighting. Order the appropriate number of flexible light strips for your project.
2
Attach mounting channels to the wall under the cabinet as close to the cabinet as possible so the lighting is hidden from sight when standing normally in the kitchen. Use screws to anchor it to the wall, or clean the wall with rubbing alcohol and use liquid nails to hold the channels in place. Alternatively, attach the flexible LED light strip directly to the wall with the attached tape.
3
Pull the paper covering from the back of the strip exposing the adhesive. Either tapes the strip directly to the wall or mounting channel, leaving the end loose until you connect the next section. Continue adhering the strips to the wall, connecting the sections to each other.
4
Snap the lens cover over the LED lighting strip starting at the far end and gently pushing the cover in place along the mounting channel.
5
Connect the end of the strip to the driver strip and then to the wall adapter plug. Plug in the lights.

How to use LED Grow Light
Are you still annoyed that your lovely plants won't grow well in the cold winter or cloudy weather when they need natural lights to complete photosynthesis in your inside garden. In this science society, you do not need to this problem anymore. With the advanced LED bulb technology, now the LED grow light can be helpful for garden management. If you are new at use the LED grow light, the following words can help you know more about the use of LED grow light.
1 Determine the optimal lighting requirements for your particular plant or plants to thrive if they were living outdoors. Figure out the intensity of light and for how many hours a day it is needed. Often this information is on the plant tag or little plastic pick stuck in the soil of your plant. Online garden resources can help you make the determination if your plant is unmarked. This is what you need to mimic indoors with LEDs. If your plants grow outdoors in shade they need less light indoors.
2 Provide a mix of red spectrum and blue spectrum LEDs. Plant photosynthesis is most responsive to these two spectrums. According to research conducted by NASA, mixing at least 80 percent red LEDs and roughly 20 percent blue LEDs is a successful ratio for growing plants indoors. You can easily switch out a few of the blue LEDs for white without harming the plant growth. This will allow you to see what's happening with your plants much more readily because white LEDs have a spectrum of green, yellow and orange, which is more easily visible to the human eye.
3 Adjust your LEDs to hang above your plant tops by anywhere from 5 inches to 20 inches, according to the plant's size and light intensity requirements. Your goal is to have the plant greens showered in light to their edges but not have the light spill or be wasted on surrounding areas where there are no plants. Height adjustment of lighting helps achieve this economy as plants grow, changing in both shape and size. anty881209wong 140102
