7.2 Storage
When not in use, store the lights in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil them loosely to prevent tangling or damage to the wires.
8. Troubleshooting
- Lights not turning on: Ensure the USB controller is securely connected to a 5V DC power source. Check if the power source is active.
- Uneven colors or dimness (especially with longer strips >15M): This can occur at very high brightness settings due to voltage drop over longer lengths. Reduce the brightness by one to two levels in the app or via remote to restore even color distribution.
- Bluetooth connection issues:
- Verify Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the light strip is powered on.
- Ensure you have downloaded the correct app for your remote control type (LED LAMP for 40-key, iDeal LED for 24-key).
- Try restarting the app and rescanning for devices.
- Move your phone closer to the USB controller.
- Remote control not working: Check if the remote control battery (CR2032, not included) is inserted correctly and has sufficient charge. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the USB controller.
9. User Tips
- For optimal color consistency, especially with longer light strings (15M or 20M), consider slightly reducing the maximum brightness setting. This helps maintain uniform illumination across the entire length.
- Experiment with the DIY color mode in the app to create unique lighting themes for different occasions or moods.
- Utilize the timing function to automate your lighting, saving energy and adding convenience.
