FAQs
Can I use this LED strip outdoors?
Yes, the Extrastar Purple Neon LED Strip has an IP65 water-resistant rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. It can withstand dust and low-pressure water jets, but should not be submerged in water.
Is the LED strip dimmable?
The product description does not specify dimming capabilities. Typically, this type of strip requires a compatible 12V LED dimmer switch (sold separately) to adjust brightness. Always ensure any dimmer used is compatible with 12V DC LED strips.
How do I cut the LED strip to a custom length?
You can cut the LED strip at designated cutting marks, which are usually indicated by a scissor icon or copper pads. Use sharp scissors for a clean cut. Only cut at these marks to ensure the remaining sections function correctly.
What is the length of the LED strip?
The Extrastar Purple Neon LED Strip is 5 meters long (approximately 16.4 feet).
Does it come with everything I need for installation?
It comes with the 5-meter neon LED strip and a UL-certified power adapter. While the strip is flexible, mounting clips or additional adhesive for specific installations may need to be purchased separately, depending on your application.
What is the power consumption of this LED strip?
The LED strip consumes 8.5 Watts per meter (W/m), ensuring efficient illumination.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The Extrastar Purple Neon LED Strip comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
The LED strip does not light up.
Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the LED strip and a working electrical outlet. Check that the connection between the strip and the adapter is firm. If possible, try a different outlet.
Only a section of the LED strip is not lighting up.
This often occurs if the strip was cut incorrectly, damaging the circuit. Ensure you only cut at the designated marks. If the issue persists, the damaged section may need to be isolated or replaced. Check for any physical damage or kinks in the unlit section.
The light output seems dim or inconsistent.
Verify that the power adapter is correctly rated for the strip and functioning properly. Ensure there are no loose connections that could cause a voltage drop. Dirt or dust on the strip's surface can also reduce brightness; gently clean the strip with a soft, damp cloth.
The adhesive is not sticking well.
Ensure the mounting surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or debris before application. For better adhesion, wipe the surface with rubbing alcohol and let it dry completely. For rough or outdoor surfaces, consider using additional mounting clips or stronger adhesive tape designed for outdoor use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting your Extrastar Purple Neon LED Strip up and running is straightforward. Its design prioritizes ease of use and long-term durability.
Setup Instructions
- Unpack: Carefully unroll the LED strip from its packaging.
- Plan Your Layout: Before peeling any adhesive (if applicable) or making cuts, temporarily position the strip in your desired location to ensure the length is correct and the power adapter can reach an outlet.
- Cut (If Necessary): If custom length is needed, identify the designated cutting marks (often indicated by a scissor icon or copper pads). Use sharp scissors to cut cleanly along these marks. Important: Only cut at these specific points; cutting elsewhere will damage the circuit and render a section unusable.
- Mounting: The strip may come with adhesive backing or require mounting clips (not included). For optimal adhesion, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. For outdoor or permanent installations, using mounting clips or channels is recommended for added security.
- Connect Power: Plug the strip's connector into the UL-certified power adapter.
- Power On: Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet. Your neon LED strip should now illuminate.
Compatibility
- Power: Operates on `12V` DC power, supplied by the included UL-certified power adapter. Do not connect directly to higher voltage sources.
- Environment: `IP65` water resistance makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. It is resistant to dust and low-pressure water jets, but not suitable for submersion.
- Surfaces: Compatible with most clean, dry, non-porous surfaces for adhesive mounting. For rough or outdoor surfaces, additional mounting hardware is advised.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean, ensure the strip is unplugged. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the LED strip.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the strip and power connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections, especially for outdoor installations.
- Storage: If storing for an extended period, roll the strip loosely and keep it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
- Protection: While IP65 rated, avoid submerging the strip in water or exposing it to high-pressure water jets to ensure its longevity.
