Product Information
Full details
The Paulmann 78900 LED mobile strip is for anyone needing flexible, decorative lighting without direct power access. Its key benefit is the battery-operated, self-adhesive design, allowing placement anywhere. A caveat is the limited light output, suitable for ambience rather than task lighting. This 1-meter strip features a warm white light, an integrated motion sensor, and a twilight sensor for automatic activation.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
How long do the batteries typically last?
Battery life varies depending on usage frequency and duration of motion detection. With moderate use, batteries can last several weeks to months. The motion and twilight sensors are designed to conserve power by activating the light only when necessary.
What type of batteries does it require?
The strip light requires four AAA batteries. These are not included with the product.
Can I cut the LED strip to a shorter length?
This specific model is not designed to be cut. Cutting the strip may damage the internal components and void the warranty.
Is this light suitable for outdoor use?
No, the Paulmann 78900 has an IP20 rating, meaning it is only suitable for dry indoor environments and should not be exposed to moisture.
What is the color temperature of the light?
The light emitted is a warm white with a color temperature of 3000 Kelvin (K).
What is the detection range of the motion sensor?
The integrated motion sensor can detect movement within a range of approximately four meters.
How does the twilight sensor work?
The twilight sensor ensures that the light only activates when the ambient light level falls below a certain threshold, typically at dusk or in very dark conditions. This prevents the light from turning on unnecessarily during the day.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on.
Check if the batteries are correctly inserted and have sufficient charge. Ensure the motion and twilight sensors are not obstructed and that there is sufficient darkness for the twilight sensor to activate.
Light turns on unexpectedly.
Verify that the motion sensor is not being triggered by pets or passing traffic if near a window. Ensure the twilight sensor is functioning correctly and not being influenced by ambient light sources.
Adhesive is not holding the strip in place.
Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to remove dust and grease. Ensure the surface is completely dry before applying the strip. For difficult surfaces, consider using a stronger double-sided adhesive tape suitable for your material.
Dim light output.
Replace the AAA batteries with fresh ones. The integrated LED strip's brightness is designed for ambience and may appear dim in brightly lit areas.
