In the pursuit of perfect light and shadow effects in the era, the ring light with its uniform and soft lighting characteristics, has become an indispensable lighting tool in photography, live broadcasting, beauty and other fields. However, when choosing a ring light, have you ever been troubled by a seemingly small detail: the PCB board of the ring light, whether to choose a double-sided or single-sided?

PCB (Printed Circuit Board, printed circuit board), as the core component of the ring light, carries the heavy task of electronic components and circuit connection, which directly affects the performance, stability and service life of the ring light. Choosing the right PCB board type is like laying a solid foundation for your lighting equipment to perform at its best. Today, we will delve into the double-sided and single-sided types of circular lamp PCB boards to help you better understand their differences and make an informed choice based on your actual needs. At the same time, Seming Lighting, as a professional supplier in the lighting industry, will provide you with professional purchase advice, so that you are no longer confused when choosing a ring lamp PCB board.

Recognize the two main types of ring light PCBS

First of all, we need to understand the two main types of circular lamp PCB board: single-sided PCB and double-sided PCB. They differ significantly in structure, performance and application.

Single-sided PCB: a cost-effective option

Single-Sided PCB (single-sided PCB), as the name suggests, refers to a PCB board with a conductive layer and electronic components on one side of the PCB board. This type of PCB board has simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and is suitable for some simple application scenarios with low performance requirements. The characteristics of single-sided PCB mainly include:

1. Low cost: simple structure, relatively low manufacturing cost, suitable for cost-sensitive application scenarios.

2. Simple structure: the conductive layer and electronic components are on the same side, the wiring space is limited, and it is difficult to achieve complex functions.

3. Limited heat dissipation performance: Because there is only a single conductive layer, the heat dissipation capacity is limited, which can easily lead to overheating of components.


Double-sided PCB: Guarantee of performance and reliability

Double-Sided PCB (double-sided PCB) is a circuit board with conductive layers and electronic components on both sides of the PCB. Double-sided PCBS connect circuits on both sides through holes, enabling more flexible wiring and higher integration. The characteristics of double-sided PCB mainly include:

Both sides can be wired, higher design freedom, can achieve more complex functions.

Better heat dissipation: By connecting both sides of the hole, the heat dissipation path is shorter, the heat dissipation efficiency is higher, and the component temperature can be effectively reduced. Higher reliability: the structure is more stable, the anti-interference ability is stronger, and it is not easy to be affected by the environment.

High cost: The structure is more complex, and the manufacturing cost is relatively high.


Quality difference between double-sided and single-sided PCB (simple comparison)

The difference in quality between single-sided PCB and double-sided PCB is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

Electrical conductivity:

Both sides of the double-sided PCB have conductive layers, which can provide better electrical conductivity and can carry greater current. Single-sided PCB only single-layer conduction, conductivity is relatively weak.

Application scenario: If the ring lamp needs higher brightness or more LED lamp beads, it is recommended to choose double-sided PCB.

Heat dissipation:

The double-sided PCB has a shorter thermal conductivity path and can dissipate heat more quickly. Single-sided PCB heat dissipation efficiency is relatively low.

Application scenario: If the ring lamp is used for a long time or requires high brightness lighting and large heat output, it is recommended to choose a double-sided PCB with better heat dissipation performance.

Reliability:

Double-sided PCB structure is more stable, not easy to deformation, stronger anti-interference ability, higher reliability, longer service life. Single-sided PCBS are relatively more susceptible to environmental factors.

Application scenario: If you need to use ring lights in harsh environments, or need to work stably for a long time, it is recommended to choose double-sided PCB to ensure higher reliability.

Cost:

Explanation: Single-sided PCB has simple structure and low manufacturing cost. Double-sided PCB structure is more complex, the cost is relatively high.

Application scenario: If the budget is limited and the performance requirements are not high, you can choose single-sided PCB. If there are high requirements for performance and reliability, it is recommended to choose double-sided PCB, which is more cost-effective in long-term use.

How to choose ring light PCB in different application scenarios

So, in practical applications, how to choose the right type of PCB according to the needs? Seming Lighting will provide you with the following suggestions:

Personal fill light:

Features: Low power, short use time, simple function, more sensitive to cost.

Recommendation: Single-sided PCB is usually enough to meet the needs, but if the budget allows, choose two-sided PCB can get better heat dissipation effect and service life.

Live beauty light:

Features: Medium power, long time use, color restoration and stability have certain requirements.

Suggestion: It is recommended to use double-sided PCB to ensure stable light output, and obtain better heat dissipation performance and extend service life.

Professional photography Lights:

Features: High power, long time use, high requirements for brightness, heat dissipation and reliability.

Recommendation: Double-sided PCB must be used, and a better heat dissipation design must be considered to ensure a stable light output and extend the service life of the equipment.

Special Application:

Features: Used in high temperature, high humidity and other special environment.

Recommendation: A more reliable double-sided PCB must be used to ensure that it works properly in harsh environments.
