Self-Illuminating fluorescent high Voltage LED Strips: Principles and Applications

Self-Illuminating fluorescent high Voltage LED Strips: Principles and Applications

For traditional high voltage LED strips, they need to be built with power supply to emit light. However, self-illuminating fluorescent LED strips uniquely maintain a soft after glow even after power loss or shutdown. This capability not only enhances emergency lighting safety but also expands possibilities for architectural decoration, landscape illumination, and industrial applications.

Many buyers and contractors often are courious: How can these LED working strips still emtting green light without power? The secret lies in Phosphorescent Materials  incorporated into the encapsulation PVC material, enabling a process of “absorbing light energy first, then gradually releasing it.”

 

 

 

 

What is a self-illuminating fluorescent high Voltage LED Strips?

A fluorescent high Voltage LED Strip is a specialized lighting product that combines traditional high voltage LED strips with phosphorescent powder. When powered normally, the LED light source “charges” the phosphorescent powder embedded within the transparent or Opal PVC encapsulated. When the strip is turned off or power is interrupted, this phosphorescent layer slowly releases stored energy, emitting a persistent green afterglow. This provides visible guidance or ambient lighting in dark environments without requiring an external power source.

Key Features:

 

  • Phosphorescent Material Energy Storage: Continues emitting light after LED shutdown, providing emergency visibility.

 

  • Integrated Structure Design: Flexible LED chips encapsulated within a glow-in-the-dark casing ensure durability and uniform light distribution.

 

  • Energy Efficiency & Safety: Delivers visual guidance during power outages without batteries or backup power, enhancing safety.

 

  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for escape routes, stairwells, tunnels, industrial sites, architectural decoration, and low-light outdoor environments.

 

In simple terms, self-illuminating high voltage LED strips use LED technology and fluorescent materials to provide regular light and a glow during power outages, ensuring both safety and a nice look.

The Principle of Self emtting high voltage LED Strip Lights

Materials and Luminescence Mechanism

The core of self emtting lighting high voltage  LED strip lights lies in the phosphor powder incorporated into their encapsulation material. During normal operation, the phosphor powder absorbs and stores a portion of the energy emitted by the LED light source.

 

  • Energy Storage and Delayed Luminescence: When power is disconnected or an outage occurs, the phosphor gradually releases stored energy, emitting a persistent green or blue-green afterglow.
  • Duration and Brightness: Luminescence intensity and duration depend on phosphor formulation, concentration, and housing transparency. High-quality products typically maintain a glow for several hours, with some extending to 6–12 hours.

 

This “absorb-store-release” mechanism enables the light strips to maintain visibility and directional guidance even in powerless environments.

 

Optical and Structural Design

To ensure stable and uniform lighting emitting effects, self-illuminating high voltage LED light strips incorporate optimized structural features:

 

  • Self emitting strips with encapsulation layer: Phosphor powder is incorporated into transparent PVC materials, protecting LED chips inside and  enabling light energy storage and night-glow performance.
  • Layered Structure: The strip features a flexible LED light source core surrounded by a phosphorescent encapsulation layer. This layered design enhances durability and water resistance while ensuring more uniform glow distribution.

 

Through the integration of materials and structure, self-luminous LED strips simultaneously fulfill dual requirements for both daily and emergency lighting.

How to Manufacture and Design this self -emitting led strip?

1. Extrusion Molding + Uniform Luminous Powder Injection:

Utilizing high-precision extrusion molding, transparent silicone or PU material containing phosphorescent powder is uniformly coated over the outer layer of the light strip. This ensures even distribution of the luminous powder, preventing brightness inconsistencies or localized dark spots.

 

2. Integrated Encapsulation Process:

LED chips, flexible circuits, and phosphor-coated layers are molded as a single unit for enhanced structural integrity. Compared to traditional multi-layer bonding, this integrated approach improves impact resistance while significantly boosting waterproofing and dustproofing capabilities, reducing risks of delamination or water ingress during prolonged use.

 

Safety and Weather-Resistant Design

 

1. Waterproof Rating (IP65–IP68):

Offers varying ratings based on application needs. IP65 is suitable for indoor decoration, while IP67–IP68 is recommended for outdoor or industrial environments to ensure stable performance in rain or prolonged humid conditions.

 

2. Flame Retardancy and Insulation:

 

Housed in flame-retardant silicone or engineered PU, the casing delays combustion in fire-prone environments while providing excellent insulation to reduce electric shock risks.

 

3. UV Resistance and Weatherability:

 

Incorporates UV stabilizers and aging treatments to maintain transparency during prolonged sun exposure, preventing yellowing or cracking.

 

4. Mechanical Strength and Flexibility:

 

A layered structure balances bendable flexibility with mechanical strength, accommodating complex installation environments while preserving afterglow performance.

FAQS (Frequent Asked Questions)

.How Long the self -emitting of strip can last?

 

Usually ,it will last about 20-25 minutes,as the power will be gradually released.It is ideal for emergency and safty lighting at construcion site,warehousing and working site.

 

.Can this strip be cutted for different length?

Yes,it can be cutting accordingly to actual demand,but you need to still to solder the power wires and glue the end caps. Normally ,we don’t suggest to cut it for better waterproof.

 

.Can i connect these led strips for long distance?

 

yes,our led strip can be molded with female and male connector,it can be easier for connected two rolls of strip ,here our tip is the maximum length is not over 50m.
