1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your KERTME 360 Degree Neon LED Light Strip. This flexible, waterproof, and dimmable LED rope light is designed for various decorative and functional lighting applications, featuring 360-degree illumination and operating on AC 110-120V.
2. Safety Information
WARNING: This product operates on high voltage (AC 110-120V). Improper installation or handling can result in electric shock or fire. Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use.
- Ensure the power adapter is kept in a dry location, as it is not waterproof.
- Use waterproof tape to secure all connections between the LED light strip and the power adapter, as well as the end cap, to prevent moisture ingress.
- Avoid excessive bending or sharp angles of the light strip, as this can cause internal wires to break, leading to sections failing or flashing.
- Only cut the LED strip at the designated cutting marks (every 1.64ft/0.5m). Cutting elsewhere will damage the strip.
- This product is not UL listed. Exercise caution during installation and use.
- Do not connect the light strip to power while it is still coiled or rolled up, as this can cause overheating.

5. Setup Instructions
- Unpack the LED Strip: Carefully unroll the KERTME 360 Degree Neon LED Light Strip from its spool. Ensure it is fully unrolled before connecting to power.
- Determine Length and Cut (Optional): If a shorter length is required, identify the cutting marks located every 1.64ft (0.5m) along the strip. Use sharp scissors to cut precisely at these marks. Do not cut at any other point.
- Insert Pins: Insert the two metal pins from the power adapter into the designated holes at the end of the LED strip. Ensure the pins are fully seated and make proper contact.

- Storage: If storing the light strip, ensure it is clean, dry, and coiled loosely to prevent damage to internal wiring.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light strip does not turn on. | No power, remote batteries dead, pins not inserted correctly. | Check power outlet, replace remote batteries (2x AAA), ensure metal pins are fully and correctly inserted into the strip and adapter. |
| Sections of the light strip are not lighting up or are flashing. | Internal wire breakage due to excessive bending or physical damage. | Avoid sharp bends during installation. If damage has occurred, the affected section may need to be cut off at the nearest cutting mark, or the strip may need replacement. |
| Light strip has a strong chemical smell. | New product odor from manufacturing materials. | Air out the product in a well-ventilated area for several days before indoor use. The smell should dissipate over time. |
| Remote control is not working. | Dead batteries, IR receiver blocked, remote out of range. | Replace AAA batteries in the remote. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the IR receiver on the power adapter. Move closer to the receiver. |
