1. Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Lepro 12V LED Strip Light. This flexible, non-waterproof LED tape light is designed for indoor decorative and accent lighting applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and use.
2. Safety Information
- Power Adapter: A 12V DC power adapter is not included and must be purchased separately. Ensure the power adapter's output voltage is exactly 12V. Using a higher voltage adapter will damage the LED strip.
- Wattage: The total wattage of the LED strip (18W for 16.4ft) must not exceed the maximum wattage rating of your power adapter.
- Heat: The LED strip operates at an extremely low heat, making it safe to touch.
- Water Resistance: This product is non-waterproof and intended for indoor use only. Avoid exposure to water or high humidity.
- Handling: The LED strip is flexible but fragile. Handle with care during installation to prevent tearing or damage to the PCB.
- Cutting: Only cut the LED strip at designated cutting marks (every 3 LEDs) to avoid damaging the circuit.

5. Setup Instructions
5.1 Components Overview
Figure 5.1: LED Strip Light Components. A 12V power supply is required and sold separately.
5.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the LED strip will be applied is clean, dry, and smooth. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove any dust or debris.
- Measure and Cut (Optional): If a shorter length is desired, measure the required length. The LED strip can be cut every 3 LEDs along the designated cutting marks. Use sharp scissors for a clean cut. Note: 2-pin 8mm connectors are not included if you cut the strip.
- Apply the Strip: Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface, ensuring firm contact along its entire length.
- Connect Power: Connect the LED strip to a compatible 12V DC power adapter (not included). Ensure the polarity is correct.
Figure 5.2: Installation Process: Clean surface, peel adhesive, and cut at marks.
6. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected to a 12V DC power adapter, the LED strip light will illuminate when the power adapter is plugged into an electrical outlet. This model is not dimmable and does not include a controller. To turn the lights on or off, you must control the power supply directly (e.g., by plugging/unplugging or using a switched outlet).

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the LED strip, ensure it is unplugged from the power source. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the strip in water.
- Handling: Avoid bending the strip sharply or applying excessive force, as this can damage the internal circuitry.
- Storage: If storing the LED strip, roll it loosely on its original reel or a similar circular object to prevent kinks or damage.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power, incorrect voltage, faulty power adapter, or damaged strip. | Ensure the 12V power adapter is correctly plugged in and functioning. Verify the power adapter output is 12V DC. Check for visible damage to the strip or connections. |
| Portions of the strip are not lighting up. | Damage to a section of the strip, incorrect cutting, or faulty connection. | Inspect the unlit section for physical damage or improper cuts. Ensure any connectors used are secure. |
| Adhesive is not holding the strip. | Surface was not clean or smooth, or adhesive has lost its stickiness. | Clean the surface thoroughly before application. For persistent issues, consider using additional adhesive clips or a stronger double-sided tape (e.g., hot glue as a temporary solution, as mentioned in customer reviews, but be aware of potential damage upon removal). |
