3. Safety Information
- Voltage: This LED strip operates on 12V DC. Ensure your power supply provides the correct voltage to prevent damage.
- Power Supply: Use a compatible DC12V power supply with sufficient wattage for the length of the strip being used. Recommended power supply: DC12V 10A (120W) for the full 5-meter strip.
- Indoor Use Only: Despite IP65 rating, this product is designed for indoor use. Avoid direct exposure to harsh outdoor elements.
- Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified individual if you are unsure about electrical wiring.
- Cutting: Only cut the LED strip at designated cut marks (every 3 LEDs) to avoid damaging the circuit.
- Heat: While LED strips generate less heat than traditional lighting, ensure proper ventilation, especially when installed in enclosed spaces.
- Children: The working voltage is 12V, making it touchable and safe for children. However, keep small components and wiring out of reach.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Pre-Installation Checklist
- Ensure you have a compatible 12V DC power supply and an RGBCCT controller (not included).
- Clean the installation surface thoroughly to ensure proper adhesion.
- Test the LED strip with your power supply and controller before permanent installation.
4.2 Mounting the LED Strip
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip.
- Carefully press the strip onto the desired clean, dry surface. Apply firm, even pressure along the entire length to ensure good adhesion.
