COB lighting is a type of LED lighting that features a high-intensity light output with a spotless appearance. COB lights are perfect for under cabinet lighting, cove lighting, living room lighting, and more.

How do I identify the aperture and magnification of a pair of binoculars? And what are these numbers actually telling me?

Binoculars sizes in comparison - here you can nicely see how different the apertures can be. The larger the lens, the more light the binoculars will gather. In principle, binoculars are manufactured for various purposes. A pair of 10x25 binoculars is built especially for people who prefer to use something very compact, which will also fit in the pocket. These binoculars are very light in weight and are ideal for day-time observing. If you are hiking in the mountains and your backpack is already heavy, a very large pair of binoculars would add unnecessary weight for you to carry. 8x42 or 10x42 roof prism binoculars have meanwhile become popular as universal binoculars. They are very compact, but still gather enough light to be able to observe in low light conditions or early twilight.

To power COB lights, you will need a 24V DC power supply. You can use a single power supply for multiple COB lights, as long as the power supply can handle the total wattage required.

Hit Pro 24V is a 24V LED strip that is perfect for longer run and installation, making it perfect for bright output target installations.

When wiring Hit Pro 24V LED strips, it's important to use the correct gauge of wire. A wire gauge of 18 AWG or higher is recommended. You should also use a high-quality soldering iron and solder to connect your wires to the LED strips.

Next, consider the brightness of the lights. LED lights are rated in lumens, which is a measure of the total amount of light emitted by the bulb. The higher the lumen rating, the brighter the light. This is also called standard density or high-density: Standard density strips have lower lumens vs the high-density strips, if you need a brighter output, your go-to will be using a high-density strip, the caveat here is wiring connection that will be discussed further on wiring.

When choosing LED lights for your project, there are a few things to consider. First, think about the color temperature you want. LED lights are available in a wide range of color temperatures, from warm white to cool white and everything in between.

Whether you're using Luma5, COB lighting, or Hit Pro 24V LED strips, it's important to use the correct gauge of wire, a high-quality soldering iron and solder, and a power supply that matches the voltage and amperage requirements of your LED lights.

The magnification of a pair of binoculars is an important factor, but it is by no means the only relevant feature. Magnification is just one of many parameters. However, there is often a general view that the higher the magnification, the better the binoculars will be. That's definitely not the case. The combination of magnification and lens aperture is what really matters. But first of all, it is important to understand the labelling on binoculars.

Note: double-density or high-density LED strips typically draws more power that means a possible limitation in terms of LED run installation, if you need longer runs for your application, the best way to mitigate that is either by splitting the load to be handled by several drivers, or going with a parallel connection instead of doing a daisy-chain connection.

On the other hand, binoculars with high light gathering power are most suitable for observers (e.g. hunters) who want to recognise animals at dusk and at night. In this case, you would choose devices with 7x50, 8x56 or 9x63. The upper end of this range is known as large binoculars. These are usually understood to be binoculars with very large lens apertures from 70 to 100 mm. They collect 4 times more light than universal binoculars, and are popular for observing stars or for observing the landscape using a tripod.

Depending on the binoculars you’re looking at, you'll see printed values such as: 10x25, 8x42, 7x50, etc. But what do they mean?

To power Hit Pro 24V LED strips, you will need a 24V DC power supply that can handle the total wattage required. You can use multiple power supplies for larger installations, as long as each power supply can handle the total wattage required.

LED lights have become the most popular type of lighting in the market due to their energy efficiency, durability, and versatility. Whether you're looking to illuminate your home, office, or commercial space, LED lights offer a wide range of options to suit your needs. But, when it comes to wiring LED lights, it's important to have a clear understanding of the process and the right tools to ensure a successful installation. In this guide, we'll take a closer look at the process of wiring LED lights and provide some tips and tricks to help you get started.

With the wiring complete, you can now install your LED lights. Depending on the type of LED lights you're using, you may need to attach them to a surface using adhesive tape or mounting brackets. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to ensure a successful installation.

Once you have your power supply, you can begin connecting your LED lights. The exact process will vary depending on the type of LED lights you're using, but generally, you'll need to connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from the LED lights to the corresponding terminals on the power supply.

When wiring Luma5 LED strip lights, it's important to use the correct gauge of wire. A wire gauge of 22 AWG or higher is recommended. You should also use a high-quality soldering iron and solder to connect your wires to the LED strip lights.

To ensure that your Luma5 LED strip lights last a long time, it's important to use a UL listed power supply. This will ensure that your power supply meets safety standards and won't damage your LED lights.

This type of abbreviation can be found for any binoculars that you can buy from us. It specifies the magnification and the size (aperture) of the binoculars’ objective lens. The first number represents the magnification, in this case therefore it is a magnification of 10x. The second number represents the size of the objective lens, which is always expressed in millimetres. A 10x42 binoculars therefore has a 42 mm objective lens.

Wiring LED lights can seem daunting at first, but with the right tools and techniques, it's a manageable task. By following the tips and best practices outlined in this guide, you can wire LED lights safely and efficiently.

The combination of both values must always complement one another. So we can't just make binoculars with the values 25x25. The amount of light that would reach the eye would be far too small to make any sense.

Luma5 is a 12V LED strip with an 8mm width that is perfect for ambient lighting and energy efficiency. This LED strip is easy to install and can be cut to size to fit any space.

It is actually quite simple. The first value always indicates the binoculars’ magnification. With 10x25 binoculars, the magnification is 10 times. The second value always indicates the aperture in millimetres. With a 10x25 glass this is 25 mm and for an 8x42 it is 42 mm.

Now that you have a basic understanding of LED lights, let's take a closer look at the wiring process. The wiring process will vary depending on the type of LED lights you're using, but there are some general steps that apply to most installations.

Before we dive into the wiring process, it's important to understand some basic concepts about LED lights. The two most important things to consider are voltage and current.

Test your connections before mounting your LED lights. This will help you avoid any issues that may arise once your LED lights are installed.

Once you have your wiring plan in place, it's time to start connecting your LED lights. Here are some general tips for wiring LED lights:

Current is the flow of electricity through a circuit. It is measured in amps (A) or milliamps (mA). LED lights typically require a low current, and it's important to use a power supply that is rated to provide the correct amount of current.

Voltage is the amount of electrical force that drives the current through a circuit. It is measured in volts (V). LED lights require a specific voltage to function properly, and it's important to ensure that your power supply provides the correct voltage.

The first step in wiring LED lights is to determine your power supply. You'll need to choose a power supply that provides the correct voltage and current for your LED lights. HitLights offers a range of UL Listed power supplies that are perfect for LED lights. What we recommend is to follow the 80/30 Rule. This means that the best load output to use with a driver or a power supply should be between 30% to 80% of the wattage capacity of the driver. Remember to always match the Voltage Rating of your Driver with the lighting fixtures 12V Driver = 12V LED light strip, 24V Driver = 24V LED strip light.

Use a power supply that matches the voltage and amperage requirements of your LED lights. You can calculate the wattage of your LED lights by multiplying the voltage and amperage requirements.

COB lighting is a 24V LED light that provides classic and elegant spotless light output. It's great for under cabinet lighting, cove lighting, living room lighting, and more.

The Hit Pro 24V LED strips are perfect for longer runs and installations. These LED lights have a higher voltage requirement of 24V, which means that you will need a power supply that can deliver the correct voltage and amperage.
