LED strip amplifier / LED amplifier / RGB amplifier. Features, problems, choice.

What is the difference between LED strip amplifiers, LED amplifiers, and RGB amplifiers?

Only in words and channels.

LED strip amplifier is a general definition.

An LED amplifier usually refers to a single-channel device that operates with a white light strip. Another name is the DC amplifier.

WW LED Amplifier is a dual channel device for warm and cool white light temperature strips.

An RGB amplifier is a three-channel device that produces red, green, and blue color strips.

The RGBW amplifier is a four-channel device for red, green, and blue color strips, with additional white LEDs.

The RGBWW amplifier is a five-channel device for red, green, and blue color strips, with additional warm and cool white LEDs.

Why do you need LED amplifiers?

Conductors always have resistance. Imagine we want to install an LED strip around a 500-square-foot room (16*32 feet). We need 96 feet of LED strip, and it is impossible (!) to connect it to the power supply at one point (!). Why?

For example, a strip has a power consumption of 3 watts/foot (a 16-foot reel has a power rating of 48 watts and a current of four amps at 12V). A 16-foot strip comprises 96 sections (cut lines) of two inches each. Each strip section will have an internal conductor resistance of 0.005-0.02 Ohms, depending on the manufacturing quality. The total native resistance of the strip is 0.48 to 2.8 Ohms. The supply voltage drop for the last sections of the strip will be 2 - 7.7 V. The voltage across the last sections of the strip will be 10 - 4.3 V. This is very low!

When all three channels are on, we will clearly see the difference in brightness between the beginning and end of a 16-foot strip. For an RGB strip, it will look like a color change. The start of the strip will be white, and the end of the strip will be yellow.

======================================= Details are in my earlier post: Effect of reducing the LED strip supply voltage on the light emitted https://teardownit.com/posts/effect-of-reducing-the-led-strip-supply-voltage-on-the-light-emitted =======================================

Several solutions to the power problem exist for a long line of LED strips. The first option is to install a thick power cable next to the entire LED strip and connect it to the strip several times every 10-20 feet. For example, a 4*14 AWG cable. The solution is excellent and reliable but expensive.

The second option is the use of an LED strip amplifier. The device is a set of transistor keys for powering a powerful load controlled by a special signal. LED amplifiers allow us to use multiple power supplies, synchronizing powerful loads with a control signal. We don't need to run four thick conductors along the entire length of the RGB strip, but just install a few power supplies and amplifiers every 10-20 feet. We can also combine power supply options depending on the situation.

We will also need an RGB amplifier to connect more loads (LED strips) to the RGB controller output than it supports/allows. For example, the RGB controller is designed for a 100W load, but we want to connect 300W LED strips.

So, what can go wrong with such simple devices? When choosing from catalogs and online stores, you will see only two significant characteristics - operating voltage (5/12/24V), maximum output current, and the number of channels - three for RGB and four for RGBW. However, my experience has shown that not everything is shown in the documentation.

Lying about the maximum current

Amplifiers are DC-powered, and when all channels are switched on, the total current of all channels flows through the common power wire (5/12/24V). Therefore, the maximum total current through the amplifier is critical. Since we are describing an electrical circuit, it is crucial to know how strong the weakest link is.

Let's take a look at such an amplifier.

In the housing and documentation, the maximum current through the amplifier is 24A. But! The device uses disconnectable connectors, which the manufacturer indicates 300V 15A on the case. The maximum current through the amplifier should be limited to the maximum current of the connector - 15A, and only if you are sure of the quality of the connectors. What does it mean? The photo below shows the result of load testing of this connector. The current was only 4.2 A !!!!!

======================================= I showed the results of similar tests of other connector types in a separate post. LED strip/lights connectors and maximum currents https://teardownit.com/posts/led-strip-lights-connectors-and-maximum-currents =======================================

You must avoid disconnectable connectors if you need to get more than 10A of current out of your amplifier. Only large connectors with screws can be used.

The wiring diagram of this amplifier:

Galvanic isolation

Another problem you may encounter is not included in the documentation either. To understand this problem, I must disassemble the amplifier and draw a wiring diagram. I will disassemble a good amplifier, for example.

The wiring diagram:

The input signal goes to the opto-isolators, and the phototransistor controls the output transistors, pulling their gates to +5/12/24V. The solution has an undoubted advantage - the control and output circuits are connected optically, but not electrically! In addition, the opto-isolator requires a current of a few mA to operate, and random induced noise will not cause false triggering. Galvanic isolation is widely used in industrial electronics; inputs and outputs are isolated via opto-isolators.

Now, I'm going to disassemble a low-quality amplifier.

The wiring diagram:

What do we see? The input signal goes through a 10k resistor to the comparator input. The galvanic isolation between input and output is missing! Moreover, the huge input resistance of the comparator makes it very sensitive. Such amplifier circuitry will laugh at us - in the second or third stage, the amplifier will trigger randomly. The LED strip works like a giant antenna, receiving a 60 Hz feed from the power grid when there is no input signal (or the lights are off).

For example, a compact Noname RGBW strip amplifier has a full decoupler (sold on Amazon and Aliexpress). This surprised me a lot:

Using amplifiers without galvanic isolation is a test of luck for the user. The devices may operate normally but pick up power line noise depending on the weather, moon phase, cloud color, etc.

How can you determine galvanic isolation in an amplifier without disassembling the device? It is easy. With a multimeter, you need to measure the resistance between V+ input and V+ output. The resistance should be infinite.

Performance issues

The use of opto-isolators is one of many prerequisites for good work. Simple opto-isolators have a low operating frequency limit. The problem is not present when using RGB controllers with low PWM frequency (hundreds of Hertz). But that low frequency is itself a problem for humans. It is the flickering of light that damages our eyes.

======================================= More details in a separate post: Shelly RGBW2 controller and Shelly Duo RGBW bulb. Dangerous light pulsations. https://teardownit.com/posts/shelly-rgbw2-controller-and-shelly-duo-rgbw-bulb-dangerous-light-pulsations =======================================

A low-quality amplifier will add distortion if the PWM frequency is increased to a safe level (1250-1500 Hz). You will see these distortions as a change in the brightness and hue of the light in the LED strip before and after the amplifier. Manufacturers know how to solve this problem. I disassembled an amplifier labeled "high speed":

The wiring diagram:

The device uses high-speed 6N137 optoisolators with logic output. The amplifier is galvanically isolated and does not ruin the colors with insufficient speed.

The device performs well at 200 Hz PWM frequency and 20 kHz (!!) PWM frequency, with little distortion:

The problem can be seen in another amplifier with conventional opto-isolators. It works at a PWM frequency of 200 Hz. At 20 kHz, there is no signal at the output. The output signal is distorted to the point of inoperability - the output keys do not have time to open at a frequency of a few kHz. The input signal (inverse) is shown in yellow, the output signal in blue:

Manufacturing quality

Sometimes, inside the device housing, I can see the horror, hell, and pain of an electronic engineer. Anyone can understand why a device works poorly and does not work for long.

An example of one of the RGB amplifiers:

Unwashed flux, single-sided PCB (to reduce cost). The heat from the field-effect transistors is dissipated onto the board tracks and overheats the switches. Rudimentary landing places for opto-isolators are on the board, but the tracks on the board will not allow us to use them! /facepalm/

Conclusions

Unfortunately, the price and quality of LED amplifiers have little correlation. You can pay dearly for junk, but a cheap, no-name amplifier will be a great device. Only by reviewing the internals can you understand the quality of the product.

Do not trust the maximum current indicated on the housing. Disconnectable terminals provide a total device operating current of less than 15A. Screw terminals can provide a maximum device current of 10-30 Amperes (according to terminal manufacturers' documentation). ‍

If you don't want to have problems with strange behavior of LED amplifiers, you need to use amplifiers with galvanic isolation. This property is not shown in the specifications or in the documentation. The only way to determine this without disassembling the housing is to measure the resistance between V+ input and V+ output. ‍

Quality RGB controllers have a high PWM frequency, but poor RGB amplifiers introduce distortions in color and brightness. You should look for devices that explicitly state "high speed."

Can Led Light Strips Be Cut

Hey everyone, I'm here to answer the age-old question – can LED light strips be cut? The short answer is yes, but there are a few things you'll need to keep in mind before taking scissors or wire cutters to that strip of lights. In this article, I'll cover everything you need to know about cutting LED light strips and how it affects their performance. So read on if you want all the details!

What You Need To Know Before Cutting Led Light Strips

Cutting LED light strips may seem like an easy task, but it's important to understand a few things before you start. It all comes down to the power supply and soldering techniques. If you're cutting an LED strip that is powered by a 12V DC power supply, make sure the cut occurs after the last full 3-LED segment—this will ensure that your new shortened strip has enough voltage for each of its LEDs.

With this type of system, it's also important to only use scissors or wire strippers as other tools can damage the wires inside. If you decide to solder connections back together after cutting them apart, be sure to use tinned copper wire with heat shrink tubing over the joins for waterproofing and insulation. It’s essential for safety reasons not to cut any LED strips powered directly from mains electricity. Instead, these should be disconnected from their power source at either end so they don't pose any electrical hazard when being worked on. Additionally, if you're reassembling parts of a broken LED strip then double check every connection with a multimeter prior to powering up again—even small mistakes can cause short circuits which could lead to fires or electric shocks.

Types Of Led Light Strips

We all want to create the perfect lighting for our homes, but LED light strips can be a bit confusing. There are so many types of LED light strips out there that it's hard to know which one is right for you. Let's take a look at some of the different types and their power requirements and installation methods! Flexible LED Strips are very popular in modern home decor because they come in various colors, sizes, and shapes. They require low power consumption and have easy installation methods like double-sided tape or adhesive clips. You can also use these lights outdoors if you're careful about protecting them from moisture and dust buildup. RGB Strip Lights add a unique touch to any space with their ability to change color on demand. While RGB strip lights do require more power than other options, they offer an amazing range of customization possibilities, making them great for creating dynamic designs. Installation is fairly simple as long as the power source is close by – just make sure your connections are secure before powering up! LED light strips offer endless possibilities when it comes to customizing your space with creative lighting solutions. Whether you go for flexible strips or RGB ones, think carefully about your specific needs and budget before selecting a product – this will ensure you get the most out of your purchase!

Tools And Supplies For Cutting Led Light Strips

Yes, LED light strips can be cut. In order to do this correctly and safely, however, you will need the right tools and supplies. A pair of wire strippers is necessary for cutting through electrical wires without damaging them in any way. Depending on the type of LED strip you are using, you may also need soldering tools if it requires a connection between two sections.

Additionally, when cutting an LED light strip, make sure that the length matches precisely with your desired measurements since many times manufacturers will not accept returns or exchanges on products that have been altered in any way. Before going ahead with the process of cutting LED lights strips, always read the product manual first to ensure that doing so won't void its warranty. Furthermore, know ahead of time how much strip length you'll need prior to making cuts so as to avoid wasting material unnecessarily. Make sure to use sharp scissors specifically designed for electric wiring when trimming down the extra parts after measuring out the desired amount; regular scissors could damage both circuit boards and wires in a manner which cannot be repaired easily. Cutting an LED light strip doesn't have to be difficult if done properly with all the necessary precautions taken into account beforehand. With these tips in mind and access to all needed materials like wire strippers and scissors designed for electronic wiring - plus having already measured out the exact size required - it should be easy enough to complete this project successfully!

Steps For Cutting Led Light Strips

Cutting LED light strips can seem intimidating at first, but with the right tools and a little know-how it's actually quite simple. First off, you'll need to find out how long your LED strip is so that you know where to cut it. Most LED strip lengths are marked on the back of the strip, usually in inches or centimeters. Once you've found this measurement, use a pair of scissors to make the cut - just be sure not to damage any nearby components! Next up is connecting the two pieces together. You may want to consider using a soldering iron and solder if your lighting project requires more secure connections - otherwise, there are specially designed connectors available for joining two separate LED strips together. Strip connectors come in various shapes and sizes; just make sure that they fit both ends of your newly-cut LED strip before proceeding. Keep in mind that there might be some tiny sparks when making these connections as well - don't worry though, this is totally normal! Just remember to take all necessary safety precautions before beginning any type of wiring project involving electricity. With the proper steps taken and patience exercised, cutting an LED light strip won't be nearly as daunting as it first seems.

Effects Of Cutting On Performance And Safety

Now that you know how to cut LED light strips, let's take a look at the effects of doing so on strip performance and safety. First and foremost, when cutting an LED light strip, it is important to keep in mind the dimming effect this will have. Since the voltage requirements for each segment are different than those for one continuous piece of lighting, the power output from individual segments may be lower than expected. This can cause significant discrepancies in overall brightness if multiple cuts were made along one single run of lights.

Another issue with making cuts into an LED light strip is that they can create problems with reliability over time. Each cut increases the number of solder points which need to be maintained over time since any exposed point could potentially become corroded or lose connection due to vibration or other causes. As such, having fewer cuts along a length of lights ensures greater reliability over time compared to more frequent interruptions. Finally, while LEDs are relatively robust against short circuits caused by water damage or dust accumulation, too many cuts can lead to increased risk of failure due to improper wiring connections between consecutive sections where electricity must flow without interruption for proper operation. Ensuring correct polarity when connecting two pieces together is essential as incorrect orientation could result in unnecessary heat build-up inside the system leading potential fire hazards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Effect of reducing the LED strip supply voltage on the light emitted

How quickly does the illumination reduce when the supply voltage decreases? How does the illumination decrease due to voltage self-loss in a long LED strip?

I want to measure the effect of changing the supply voltage on the illumination change from the LED strip. This experiment will indirectly continue another investigation: “Why is a 24-volt LED strip better than a 12-volt power supply”.

Test bench

I took a few LED strips of different types and different power to compare the change dynamics: - sample 1 = 2216 chips; 7.01W/foot - sample 2 = 2216 chips; 3.66W/foot - sample 3 = COB; 1.83W/foot - sample 4 = 2835 chips; 4.39W/foot (Learn more about samples)

The LED strip is mounted on a vertical heat sink and emits light sideways. The detector/sensor is 1 foot away from the strip.

The strip is connected to the RIDEN RD6024 regulated high-precision power supply. I measure the voltage directly at the strip input to level out the voltage drop on the wires from the power supply (Greenlee DM-65 multimeter (accuracy for 24V DC = 1%)).

I measured the illuminance with my new high-precision instrument - spectral & illuminance analyzer HOPOOCOLOR OHSP-350MF. Total accuracy of illumination ±4% (for 1000 FC).

By comparison. My old lux meter (good quality) has an accuracy of ±3% rdg ±3% f.s. What does this mean? For measured value 1000 FC: ±3% rdg = 3% of 1000 FC = 30 FC ±3% f.s. = 3% of 4000 FC (full scale) = 120 FC Total = 150 FC = 15% for 1000 FC.

Many manufacturers don’t specify full-scale accuracy. Their instruments will appear to be very accurate.

Measured values

I measure the illuminance every time I decrease the voltage by 0.1 V. The values obtained have some scatter, related to the instrument accuracy, the measurement method, and other details. I additionally introduced a trend line to simplify the perception of the results.

Also, for simplicity, I made additional calculations of the relationship between illumination and voltage (in %).

Conclusions

The change in supply voltage has a linear effect on the change in light emission from modern LEDs and assemblies.

The light emission change from the supply voltage depends on the LED type and strip design (LED connection scheme, section length, resistors, etc.)

The light emission from the LEDs decreases faster than the supply voltage decreases. My samples of LED strips with voltage supply showed the following results: 3a. 2216 chip strips: 5% voltage = 20% illumination and 10% voltage = 40% illumination 3b. 2835 chip strips: 5% voltage = 12% illumination and 10% voltage = 26% illumination 3c. COB low power strip: 5% voltage = 36% illumination and 10% voltage = 70% illumination Warning. Other strips will give different results.

Incorrect connection of long LED strips to the power supply will significantly reduce the level of emitted light (due to the high self-loss on the LED strip conductors). (see conclusions to the post “Why 24V LED strip is better than 12V?”

Catastrophic effects will be for powerful low-voltage (5-12V) LED strips.
