New Year LED figures

LED shapes are a great way to create a fairytale and magic atmosphere for the New Year and Christmas holidays. This decor can be used both indoors and outdoors to create original lighting installations. Previously, monochromatic or colored garlands of LEDs were widely used, but today the streets and interior decoration of apartments are illuminated by balls, voluminous snowflakes, and stars. The choice of LED decor items is huge. Let's consider their main varieties, features and location rules.

New Year's LED figures differ from each other in appearance, technical characteristics and materials from which they are made. Some products have bulbs on the inside, others on the outside of the structure. Decor items can have a different number of LEDs - their number directly depends on the dimensions of the structure. Such products can glow, burn in one color, flicker or smoothly sparkle. Some figures have several glow modes. Depending on the type, the power supply of such structures is carried out from batteries or a 220 V network.Various raw materials are used in the production of decor.

1. Organic or acrylic glass. This is a material with increased light transmittance, which ensures excellent luminosity of the figure. Acrylic is lightweight, due to which massive structures are often made from it. At the same time, the material has good performance characteristics - it is quite durable, it is not afraid of various atmospheric influences and temperature extremes.
2. Aluminum. This alloy is also distinguished by its low weight, due to which there is no unnecessary weighting on the LED structure. This material is often used to make outdoor decorations. They are not afraid of moisture, sudden changes in temperature and humidity, various negative atmospheric influences. They are allowed to operate regardless of climatic conditions.
3. Plastic. This material is used in the production of small light figures, which are most often used to transform the interior of the premises.

Designs may differ in the type of backlighting. For example, manufacturers can use string light (LED filaments that can be connected to each other), LED strip (LEDs fixed on the board) or duralight. The latter is an elastic cord with LEDs inside.

Manufacturers of LED decor offer the consumer a huge assortment of figures for the New Year. To make the right choice, you need to know about the types of LED products.

• Small toys in the form of snowmen, snowflakes, Christmas trees, New Year's houses, Snow Maidens, Ded Morozov. These are small figures based on plastic. They run on batteries. Due to the lack of wires, they are mobile, so they can be easily rearranged from one place to another and make various original New Year's compositions.

• Frame volumetric light figures intended for floor installation. The optimal height of such products is from 0.5 to 1.5 meters. They are installed on the floor or on the ground (street variations). Due to their lightness when mounted outdoors, volumetric figures require weights or support structures.

• Small LED illuminated figures or suction cup toys.

Suspended structures for fixing to walls are also popular. These can be stars, snowflakes or LED-strip balls. Such products can be used both singly and in various compositions.

A number of requirements are imposed on LED structures used in outdoor conditions. Since such figures are supposed to be used outdoors in winter, they must be reliably protected from moisture, dirt and dust particles penetrating inside. Such designs are produced with the iP44 and higher marking, which will indicate their moisture and dust resistance.

For 3D LED decorations, the frame must be strong. The unreliability of the decor item will be evidenced by deflections and sagging formed under the weight of the lighting equipment. The figures should be emitting bright light. Blinking of bulbs or excessive fading of the LED strip indicates a malfunction - it is recommended to disconnect such a design from the power supply and not use it.

At nightfall, LED figures are able to attract the attention of others. Thanks to the creation of original light installations, products with LEDs are immersed in a fabulous atmosphere and give a lot of positive emotions. In order for the products to look the most effective, they need to be correctly positioned. Let's consider the most successful placements.

A winning option for indoor decor is small New Year's toys and figures, products with suction cups. This light decor can be placed on shelves, windowsill, table or under a Christmas tree. Festive decorations on suction cups are often placed to illuminate mirrors or cabinets with glass showcases.

For premises, flexible LED strips or garlands are often chosen. With their help, windows are illuminated, they bend around the contours of frame pieces of furniture.Using garlands, glowing ribbons and tape on glass, walls or furniture, various 2-D shapes are created. The easiest way is to "make" stars or snowflakes in this way.

Many do not disregard the local area. For the street, a luminous frame decor is often purchased. LED figures are often placed with an entrance door, small structures are placed along paths or porches. To decorate the facade of a house, an LED network is often purchased, or it can be “spread” on the roof. An excellent option would be to place LED icicles under the roof or diode fringes.

For the New Year holidays, streets, squares, parks, central squares, grounds near fountains are often decorated. Illumination in the city is planned in advance, while projects must be coordinated with the chief city architect. For light decoration of city streets, massive structures are used in the form of arches, animals, balls, snowflakes, fountains, various fairy-tale characters associated with New Year and Christmas celebrations.

New Year's decor for creating interior and exterior illumination is original, unusual and elegant. Everyone will like it - both children and adults. Thanks to the appearance of LED designs on the market, festive decorations can be made more fabulous and rich.
