View
Your Cart / Checkout
LED LightStrips finds use
as indirect lighting, linear lighting, and enhancement of --
or replacements for -- fluorescent bulbs and fixtures.
zipLED™ LightSticks (and LightDots) offer the means to
connect small boards with three (or one) HyBright-3 LED chips
on a self-regulated 1.5 (or 0.5) inch board providing 60 (or 20) lumens
of light into a variety of 12-volt sockets.
The
12-inch nexLED™ LightStrips use HyBright-3 LED chips on one- to four-inch
spacing with three LED emitters per chip to provide up to 240
lumens per foot
The TapeLight
series
use HyBright-1 LED chips on a flexible, peel-and-stick tape with 1.7 cm spacing with
one LED emitter per chip to provide 120 lumens per foot in
a variety of colors
|
All LED products offered are Made-In-USA by LightBlasters™ in Mesa,
AZ using HyBright.3 LED chips.
They feature solid state construction designed to last as long
as the LEDs, circuitry to allow operation in the variety of
electrical environments and power sources found in RVs and
Boats, and solid copper heat sinks to protect the LEDs and
ensure their extended lifetime of 11 years.
NOTE: nexLED™
technology is USA Patent Pending
NOTE: zipLED™
connectivity is USA Patent Pending
NOTE: One
HyBright.3 LED chip emits 15 to 20 lumens of visible light
at 12 to 12.8 volts

zipLED LightSticks,
LightDots,
and ZLX Connectivity
The zipLED connectivity solution offers a most
versatile method for building the configurations of LEDs needed to
provide a solution to most any lighting problem.
The primary building
blocks are the zipLED Bases, LightSticks, LightDots, and the
ZLX-Expansion PowerStrip. The design of the zipLED family is
copyrighted and patent pending 2008 by LightBlasters/Neutek-USA.
The key to zipLED connectivity are the
ZLX power distribution units
, arrangements of SIP (Single InLine
Package) terminal blocks that can fit onto different lighting bases
or be used stand-alone. The 24 awg solid wire from the LightStick or
LightDot boards fits into the SIP sockets and is locked into place
by the inner spines of the socket. The layout for the ZLX array is
as follows:
- +
- + -
+
+ - + -
+ - and provides the capacity
to connect six zipLED devices into the same distribution unit. Note
that any two adjacent SIP sockets will be opposite polarity. It is
necessary to test the orientation of the connector in the circuit to
determine the proper wiring pattern for the LightSticks or
LightDots.
 zipLED LightSticks
are 0.5 by 1.5 inch boards containing three HyBright.3 LED chips. Power and
ground are provided through a dual conductor pigtail of 24 awg solid
wire. An onboard circuit provides
voltage protection. Double-stick tape on the back-side can
be used to mount the LightStick however needed in
the application. Each LightStick produces 15 to 20 lumens of
natural white light using 0.06 amps at 12 to 12.8 volts.
 The zipLED
LightDots are 0.5 inch
square boards containing a single
HyBright.3 LED chip. Power and
ground are provided through a dual conductor pigtail of 24 awg solid
wire. An onboard circuit provides voltage protection. Double-stick
tape on the back-side can be used to mount the LightDot however
needed in the application. A LightDot produces 5 to 7 lumens of
natural white light using 0.06 amps at 12 to 12.8
volts.
zipLEDs are sold as packaged Bulb Replacements in Aisle
1 and fLEDescent kits in Aisle 2. They are also sold in bulk
below.

ZL.Mount: for some lighting
applications, it is useful to mount the zipLED LightSticks or
LightDots onto a metal plate. 10 mil Aluminum flashing is a
very good material that offers full support and can be
cut with kitchen shears and bent by hand.
These mounts
can be used to construct lighting solutions for chandeliers
and patio lights, as well as other applications.
You
can purchase this at your neighborhood hardware store or
purchase small quantities here. Prudent RVer offers three
small sizes of metal that can then be cut to size. A hole is
punched in the middle of each sheet to allow mounting the
LightSticks on the side opposite from the connector
base.
NOTE: the cut aluminum can be sharp around
the edges and corners. Be careful. |

LED LightStrips
as
Linear Lighting & Replacements for Fluorescents
In some cases the use of the
LightBlasters LightStrip products make more sense as a fluorescent
replacement and for other forms of linear lighting. For
example, indirect lighting behind a cornice or beneath a cabinet can
be handled with LightStrips, especially where a run of several feet
is required.
However, LightStrips do not have built-in
voltage protection. It is important to connect them to a regulated
power supply or to connect the 12-volt power through a stand-alone
voltage regulator. Products to provide this protection are
shown at the bottom.
When using a LightStrip inside a
fluorescent fixture, it is necessary to connect the LED strip
directly to the +12-volt and ground lines. If they are connected to
the output of the ballast, the LEDs will very
quickly be destroyed.
LightStrips can be wired in series by soldering
the pigtail of one strip to the end of the next. The proper polarity
must be maintained, and the solder holes are coded as a circle and a
square to facilitate maintaining polarity. Conservatively, up to 3
amps can be carried by the pigtail wires without loss of voltage,
providing the capacity to series connect 150 HyBright.3
chips.

PS1.2A12V
Regulated Power Supply:
The PS1.2A12V power supply accessory
provides 1.5 watts of regulated 12-volt power for
LightBlasters' LightStrips and other LED appliances. It
converts 120vac to 12vdc, providing up to 1.2 amps. It plugs
into standard 15-amp AC wall receptacle with a 6 foot
pigtail providing the ground and +12v.
The key issue is
voltage regulation. certain LED devices, like the LightStrips,
can be damaged by the voltage variations found in some RVs.
Using a regulated supply protects them from
damage.
This power supply can also be used in a
residential home to service up to LED clusters up to 15 watts.
