Why do LED light strips need to be transformed?
LED light strips are low-voltage devices that usually operate on 12V or 24V. However, in actual use, our national grid power supply is usually high voltage 220V. Therefore, in order to convert the power supply from the grid to a low voltage suitable for LED light strip operation, a transformer is required

The main reasons are as follows:
Voltage matching: LED strips require a specific operating voltage to provide correct brightness and performance. If directly connected to a high-voltage power supply, the LED strip will be subjected to excessive voltage, which may cause the LED to burn out or degrade performance. By using a transformer, the high voltage can be converted into a low voltage suitable for the LED light strip, ensuring that the LED light strip works at its best.
Safety: Low voltage makes LED light strips safer. Compared to high voltage, low voltage reduces the risk of electric shock and provides better personal safety in the event of a fault. By using a transformer to convert the high voltage of the power grid into a low voltage to supply LED light strips, the potential risk of electric shock can be reduced and the safety of users can be ensured.
Stability: LED light strips require a stable voltage supply to maintain constant brightness and color. The grid supply may have voltage fluctuations or spikes, which can negatively affect the performance of LED strips. By using a transformer, the voltage can be stabilized at the appropriate level required by the LED strip, ensuring that the LED strip operates stably and provides a consistent light effect.
Energy efficiency optimization: Effective use of energy can be achieved by converting high voltage into the low voltage required by LED light strips through a transformer. Low voltage systems are generally more energy efficient, saving energy and reducing energy costs.
Therefore, by using a transformer to convert the power supply from the grid into a low voltage suitable for LED light strips, the safety, stability and performance of the LED light strips can be ensured, and efficient use of energy can be achieved. In this way, the LED light strip can work at its best, providing excellent lighting effects and long-term reliable use
