русскийString Lights have different voltage specifications, usually 12V, 24V, 110V, 220V, etc. These voltage specifications have a certain impact on safety and energy consumption performance, which can be analyzed from the following aspects:
1. Safety
Low voltage (such as 12V or 24V): Low voltage is generally less dangerous to humans from electric shock, so it is considered safer. 12V and 24V string lights are usually used for indoor decoration or small outdoor places. These low-voltage string lights are safer, and even if there is a short circuit or damage, the risk is relatively small.
High voltage (such as 110V or 220V): High-voltage string lights may bring higher safety risks if they are not properly insulated or used improperly. Especially in outdoor environments or humid conditions, high-voltage lines may cause accidents such as electric shock, short circuits, and even fires if the protection measures are not appropriate. Therefore, high-voltage string lights need to meet strict safety standards and must have good electrical isolation and waterproof design.
2. Energy performance
Low voltage: Low voltage string lights are usually more energy efficient because they need to convert voltage through a transformer, so the overall energy efficiency is higher. For low-power lamps, low voltage can effectively reduce energy loss. For example, 12V or 24V LED string lights may be more energy efficient than high-voltage lamps of the same brightness because they are driven by low voltage.
High voltage: The energy performance of high-voltage string lights is more direct. Although high-voltage lamps (especially traditional incandescent lamp string lights) may be brighter, their energy efficiency is relatively low because incandescent lamps have greater heat loss. LED high-voltage lamps have better energy efficiency, but you still need to pay attention to the energy efficiency loss of the transformer.
3. Usage scenario
Low voltage string lights: Suitable for indoor and safety-critical places (such as decorative purposes). They are more suitable for environments with higher requirements for electrical safety, and due to higher energy efficiency, the electricity bill burden is relatively light.
High voltage string lights: Suitable for outdoor scenes and places where strong lighting is required. Because high voltage current can be transmitted over a longer distance, it is usually used for large-scale outdoor decorative lighting, such as street lights, garden decorations, etc.
Safety: Low voltage (12V, 24V) string lights are safer and are especially suitable for home and indoor use; high voltage (110V, 220V) string lights require more stringent protection measures.
Energy efficiency performance: Low voltage string lights are usually more energy efficient and suitable for applications that require energy saving; high voltage lamps may have higher power consumption, but may be a more suitable choice when stronger brightness and wide-area lighting are required.
