LED lighting has long held the promise of being able to integrate light into places that were impractical or impossible using traditional lighting technologies. With the advances in flexible linear LED lighting, it has never been easier to deliver on that promise.
长期以来，传统照明技术还是无法将光源安装在不切实际的位置上。然而随着灵活的线性LED照明技术的进步，已经实现了传统照明技术不可能完成的任务。

Anatomy of a Flexible LED Module
灵活LED模组详述

Flexible linear LED modules consist of surface-mounted LEDs on long, thin, flexible circuit boards that usually have self-adhesive backings and are packaged in reels. These linear modules can be installed in a straight line or they can be flexed around curves and can be easily field-cut at regular intervals along the length of the module. They can be mounted directly into most applications without the need for additional fixtures. The adjustability and flexibility of the modules enable them to blend harmoniously into the architecture of the space—creating an inviting atmosphere in a building, setting decorative accents in a restaurant or highlighting products in a retail space.
灵活的线性LED模组是将LED安装在狭长的柔性线路板上，该线路板背面通常都是自粘式的，并且打包成卷状。这些线性模组可以被安装成直线型或曲线型，还能将模组长度等间距切割。它们可以直接安装在许多应用上，且无需额外的固定装置。模组的适应性和灵活性使得其能融入到空间结构中，在建筑物中营造出一种亲切迷人的气氛，还能做餐厅里的装饰物或者零售点的显著特色。

These flexible linear modules are available in versions that are designed for indoor applications or IP67-protected versions for outdoor applications. They are made in a variety of color temperatures as well as RGB variations. There are different light levels that can be selected to match the application—and most products are dimmable with the use of the proper power supply. This wide section of options means that the right module is available to match the needs of almost any application.
这些灵活的线性模组可用于多个领域，包括室内应用和IP67保守版的户外应用。它们被做成各种色温形式，分为不同的亮度级，可以选择匹配不同的应用，并且很多产品在适当的电源供给下是可调光的。这种宽范围的模组选择意味着适当的模组可以满足所有的产品应用。

Compact and Versatile
紧密性与通用性

Their compact size, as narrow as 0.31” wide, means they can deliver light that creates a focal point while never directing the focus to the lights themselves. They may draw attention to the bar, highlight a pathway or guide customers to the right products in a shelf. When integrated into the architecture, they can highlight the façade, create decorative light lines or provide indirect cove lighting.
紧凑型模组只有0.31”宽，它们可以创造出一种光线聚焦的形式，可以用于酒吧、照亮小路或者指引顾客在货架上找到需要的商品。当它们被用于建筑中时，可以突出其外观、展示装饰性的光线、或发出曲折的光。

The size of the flexible modules enables them to be integrated into very compact locations. As an example, the underside of handrails are a popular application. Handrails come in elegant curves, in straight lines or with fantastic angles. Depending on their function and architectural style, stairways and handrails can open up a multitude of creative lighting designs. Once integrated, flexible LED modules smoothly follow the shape of a handrail, creating homogeneous bands of shadow free light that add a sophisticated look to any stairway.
灵活模组的尺寸使得其能够集成到非常紧凑的位置上。譬如说，楼梯扶手下侧面就是很普遍的应用。楼梯扶手外观形式包括优雅曲线型、直线型和奇特角度型。根据建筑物的功能和建筑风格，其楼梯和扶手可以被设计成多种创新型照明外形。当设计好扶手外形之后，将灵活的LED模组安装在其中，这样模组就可以平滑地沿着扶手外形展现出均匀光带，使得楼梯变得与众不同。

In outdoor applications the light can increase the illumination level of defined areas on the stairways and become an integral and elegant orientation and wayfinding feature. When installing handrail lighting solutions, for example, the LED modules can be situated and angled in such a way that the required luminance is available at every section of the rail without creating glare for passersby. When it is planned ahead to integrate these flexible modules into new walkways and rails, the lighting can become the focal point of the project.
在户外应用中，照明模组会增加固定区域楼梯的亮度，使得该楼梯成了优雅的导视特色。例如，在安装扶手照明装置的时候，LED模组是以这样的方式安装成有角度的外形——所需照明亮度可用于扶手的每个部分，无需为行人提供耀眼的光。在将这些灵活模组集成到新的通道时，光线可以做成聚焦形式的。

Decorative Functionality
装饰性功能

Enabling the perfect combination of pleasant ambience and decorative functionality, indirect cove lighting can provide a sophisticated, harmonious room atmosphere in a wide variety of settings. Homogeneous lines of light can delicately accentuate a room’s geometry, highlight certain features, provide soft and uniform general lighting, or become a decorative design element.
为了达到舒适氛围和装饰功能的完美组合效果，曲折的光线在布满各种装饰物的房间内可以营造出一种精致、和谐的气氛。均匀的光线可以适当地突出房间的几何结构、加亮某些特色，创造柔和统一的环境，或成为一种装饰性设计元素。

In these applications, flexible LED strips can be concealed in recesses or behind ledges so that they cannot be seen from any point of view. Whether the cove is a simple exposed shelf or a sophisticated architectural element, the advantages of the flexible LED modules in these applications are their size and the variety of color temperatures and light levels that can be chosen.
在这些应用中，灵活LED光带可以被隐藏在凹槽处或壁架后面，所以不管从哪个角度都看不到它们。无论凹槽是简单裸露的货架还是精致的建筑元素，灵活LED 模组的优点就是其尺寸与可选择的多种色温和亮度级。

Gone are the days when coves would need to be large enough to mount and hide bulky fluorescent lamps. Also gone is the need to deal with the shadows caused by the spaces between fluorescent lamps. Now, state-of-the-art rooms can be designed with light coves that have extremely small dimensions to elegantly and discreetly blend into the overall design.
要求凹槽足够大、能安装隐藏体积较大荧光灯的时代已经过去了。同时也不需要处理两盏荧光灯之间产生的阴影了。现如今，极其微小尺寸的凹槽被适当谨慎地融进整个艺术级的空间设计中。

The slim dimensions of flexible LED modules enable them to be integrated into these spaces without compromise. Light appears to emerge from the ceiling or walls to create an unobtrusive and harmonious atmosphere. The ability to integrate the flexible modules into these tight space means freedom of design is virtually unlimited.
纤细的灵活LED模组可以毫不费力地集成到这些狭小空间里。光线看起来像是从天花板或墙上发出来的，营造出一种低调和谐的气氛。将灵活模组集成到这些紧密空间里就意味着空间设计是不受限制的。

Outdoor Applications
户外应用

Outdoor versions of the flexible LED linear modules that are encapsulated in a weather and UV resistant jacket, such as silicone, can be applied to highlight or emphasize a wide variety of architectural elements on building façades and in landscaping. The installation can be as simple as lines of light to emphasize architectural structures and highlight a building’s overall appearance or as bold as color changing modules that bring a building to life.
户外版的灵活LED线性模组被封装在防紫外线的真空护套中，例如硅胶就可以突出建筑物表面和环境美化工程中的多种建筑元素。可以安装成像光线一样简单的强调建筑结构和整体外观的，或者像变色模组一样醒目的融入生活的建筑。

Integrating the flexible modules into specific locations of the face of a building is simplified because there is no need to install the modules into lighting fixtures – typical installations use just an accessory mounting track. Highlighting targeted features or structures of the building eliminates the need to flood the entire face of the building with high wattage traditional lighting. The result is a unique and professional lighting design with significant energy savings.
将灵活模组集成到建筑物表面特殊位置的方式已经被简化了，因为无需再将模组装进照明灯具中，只需放入附带的安装轨道中就可以了。要突出针对性的建筑特色和结构，就无需再用高功率传统照明方式照亮整个建筑物表面。这是一种独特专业的照明设计方式，并且还实现了巨大的能源节约。

Hotel and hospitality businesses can add their corporate colors to the exterior highlights of their building, illuminate corridors and conference rooms, create the right atmosphere in ballrooms, provide soft indirect cove lighting in the guest rooms or simply shape a lasting colorful guest experience in restaurant and bar areas.
这些通用灵活模组的其他应用还包括，配备针对性灯箱货架——有效突出产品的零售点。在这些相同的空间里，RGB模组的应用可以在加强公司品牌的同时提升购物体验。政府机关可以在其大厅内增添独特显著的元素，选择在走廊处安装指示方向的照明标志，或者照亮整个会议室。旅馆和接待行业可以在其外部建筑亮点上增添企业特色、照亮走廊和会议室、营造出恰当的舞厅气氛、在贵宾室展现出柔和曲折的光线，或者在餐厅和酒吧区域简单地塑造出持久有趣的客户体验。

These linear modules are flexible not only because they consist of a bendable circuit board, but because they can be easily cut to fit each unique installation. Adding to this flexibility are the accessories that are available to simplify the installation process. Typical accessories include mounting tracks, diffusing lenses, solder-less input power and board-to-board connectors (modules can be easily connected to both the power supply and to each other without the need for soldering or tools) and end-caps to seal the ends of outdoor modules.
这些线性模组如此灵活不仅因其由可弯曲的线路板组成，还因为它们易被切割成适合独特安装方式的形式。该灵活性还融入了辅助程序，可以简化安装过程。标准的辅助程序包括安装轨道、漫射透镜、无焊接输入电源和板对板连接器（在无需焊接或工具的情况下，模组与供给电源和模组都易被连接），还有端盖用来密封户外模组的末端。

Many systems operate on Class 2 constant voltage power supplies and are designed and UL approved to be plug and play (ensure the system that is being used is UL approved for the application before it is installed).
许多系统运行在2级恒压电源下，且被设计成具有UL认证的插头（要在安装之前确保该应用使用的系统是经过UL认证的）。
