FAQs

What type of power supply do I need for this LED strip?

You need a 12V DC power supply. The total wattage of the power supply should be greater than the total wattage consumed by the length of LED strip you are using (approximately 6W per meter).

Can I cut the LED strip to a custom length?

Yes, the LED strip is designed to be cut every 5 cm at the marked cut points to achieve custom lengths.

Does the power supply come included with the LED strip?

No, the power supply is sold separately. You will need to purchase a compatible 12V DC power supply.

Is this LED strip waterproof?

No, this LED strip is not waterproof. It is designed for indoor use in dry environments.

What are the benefits of using aluminum profiles with this strip?

Using compatible aluminum profiles, such as GTV GLAX profiles, helps to dissipate heat more effectively, which can extend the lifespan of the LED strip and provide a more uniform light diffusion.

How wide is the LED strip?

The LED strip has a slim width of 8 mm, making it suitable for fitting into standard aluminum profiles and tight spaces.

What color temperatures are available?

This LED strip is available in three color temperatures: Cool White, Neutral White, and Warm White.

Troubleshooting

LED strip does not light up.

Check that the 12V power supply is connected correctly and functioning. Verify the polarity (+/-) of the connection to the LED strip. Ensure the strip is properly seated in any connectors.

Lights flicker or turn off intermittently.

Check the power supply for stability and ensure it is rated for the total load. Inspect all connections for looseness. If using multiple strips, ensure the power supply can handle the combined load.

Adhesive is not sticking well.

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. For rough or porous surfaces, consider using a primer or an alternative adhesive like double-sided mounting tape designed for LED strips.

Some LEDs do not illuminate after cutting.

Ensure the strip was cut precisely at the designated cut marks. Check the connection point at the cut end for any damage or poor contact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly versatile for accent and task lighting in various home and retail environments.
  • Customizable length through easy cutting points ensures a perfect fit.
  • Slim design allows for integration into minimal spaces and standard profiles.
  • Energy-efficient operation contributes to lower electricity consumption.
  • Easy installation with pre-applied strong adhesive backing.

Cons

  • Requires a separate 12V power supply, which is not included.
  • Performance and longevity may be enhanced by using compatible aluminum profiles, adding an extra purchase.
  • The white color family may not suit all interior design aesthetics.
  • Color temperature needs to be chosen at the time of purchase, limiting flexibility if needs change.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a compatible 12V DC power supply with sufficient wattage for the length of LED strip you will be using.
  2. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly to ensure the adhesive bonds effectively.
  3. Cut the LED strip to your desired length at the designated cut marks (every 5 cm).
  4. Peel off the adhesive backing and carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface.
  5. Connect the LED strip to the 12V power supply using appropriate connectors or by soldering.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a 12V DC power supply. The total wattage of the power supply should exceed the total wattage of the LED strip used (approximately 6W per metre).
  • Compatible with GTV GLAX aluminum profiles for enhanced heat management and diffused light. Standard aluminum profiles (8mm width) can also be used.

Care:

  • Wipe the strip gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure the power supply is disconnected before cleaning.
  • Do not immerse the LED strip in water, as it is not waterproof.
