FAQs
What is the IP rating of this LED tape light?
This LED tape light has an IP20 rating, which means it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but has no protection against water. It is suitable for indoor and dry applications only.
Can I cut the LED tape to a shorter length?
Yes, the tape can be cut or joined at every 3rd LED, which corresponds to every 10cm.
What type of power supply is included?
The kit includes a P003M Power Supply, rated at 230v input and 12v output with 1000mA current.
How wide and deep is the LED tape?
The LED tape is 8mm wide and 1.83mm deep, making it suitable for narrow installations.
Can I use this LED tape outdoors?
No, due to its IP20 rating, this LED tape is strictly for indoor and dry use. It is not waterproof or weather-resistant.
What surfaces can the self-adhesive backing stick to?
The self-adhesive backing is designed to adhere to most smooth surfaces. For best results, ensure the surface is clean and dry before application.
Is this LED tape dimmable?
The tape itself is not inherently dimmable. Dimming capability would depend on the power supply and any external dimmer used. The included P003M power supply is typically not designed for dimming.
Troubleshooting
LED tape not lighting up
Ensure the power supply is securely connected to both the wall outlet and the LED tape. Verify the wall outlet is functioning. Check if the tape was cut at a valid cut point.
Flickering LEDs
Check all connections for looseness. Ensure the power supply is adequate for the length of LED tape used. If the problem persists, there may be a fault with the tape or power supply.
Adhesive not sticking well
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth before application. For porous or textured surfaces, consider using an appropriate adhesive tape or mounting clips.
Partial sections not lighting
If the tape was cut and joined, check the integrity of the join. Ensure the cut was made precisely at a designated cut point.
