Key Features
Ultra Bright FCOB LED Technology
The FCOB (Flip Chip On Board) LED strip features 336 LEDs per meter, providing a brighter, softer, and more uniform light output compared to traditional SMD strips. This design eliminates visible hot spots and ensures consistent illumination. The CRI 90+ rating indicates excellent color accuracy.

The included RF remote allows for convenient control of the LED strip's power, brightness, and dynamic modes. It offers 6 soft dimming modes and 3 dynamic modes (jumping, fading, strobe) with adjustable speed. The controller also supports a 60-second delayed shutdown function.

The flexible FCOB light strip can be cut at marked points every 1.96 inches (5cm) for custom sizing. Dual 5.5mmx2.1mm DC plugs (male/female) facilitate easy end-to-end connections or integration with other components.
Long Lifespan
Constructed with a double-layer copper PCB board for enhanced conductivity and heat dissipation, ensuring a lifespan of over 65,000 hours.
Setup Instructions
Prepare the Installation Surface
Ensure the surface where the LED strip will be applied is completely clean, dry, and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesion. Use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface if necessary.
Measure and Cut (Optional)
If a shorter length is required, measure the desired length and cut the LED strip only at the designated cutting marks (approximately every 1.96 inches or 5cm). Do not cut elsewhere to avoid damaging the circuit.
Connect the LED Strip
Connect the FCOB LED strip to the RF remote controller. Ensure the polarity is correct. The controller then connects to the DC24V power supply.

Video Description: This video demonstrates how to use the 8mm/10mm width FCOB LED strip connectors for extending the strip, making corner connections, and directly connecting to a power supply or LED controller. It shows the process of inserting the strip into the connector and securing it.
Adhere the LED Strip
Peel off the adhesive backing from the LED strip and carefully press it onto the prepared surface. Apply firm, even pressure along the entire length to ensure good contact.
Secure with Clips (Optional)
For added security, especially on rough or vertical surfaces, use the provided LED strip fixed clips at regular intervals.
Power On
Plug the DC24V power supply into a standard electrical outlet. The LED strip should now be ready for operation.
Operating Instructions
Using the RF Remote Control
The RF remote control allows you to manage your LED strip lighting with ease. Ensure the plastic tab is removed from the battery compartment before first use.
- Power On/Off: Press the red button to turn the lights on or off.
- Brightness Adjustment: Use the sun icon buttons to increase or decrease brightness. Preset brightness levels (10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100%) are also available.
- Dynamic Modes: Select from JUMP, FADE, or STROBE modes for various lighting effects. The speed of these modes can be adjusted.
- Delayed Shutdown: Utilize the 60S button for a 60-second delayed shutdown, allowing you time to exit the room before the lights turn off.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED strip light, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strip with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water, ensuring the strip is unplugged and completely dry before reconnecting power. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check the strip and connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
- Avoid Excessive Bending: While flexible, avoid sharp bends or excessive force that could damage the internal circuitry.
- Environmental Conditions: Ensure the strip is used within its specified operating temperature range and avoid exposure to extreme humidity or direct water contact, as this model is designed for indoor use only.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED strip light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Lights Not Turning On:
- Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into both the wall outlet and the controller.
- Ensure the controller is correctly connected to the LED strip, observing polarity.
- Verify that the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- Confirm the plastic tab has been removed from the remote control's battery compartment.
- Lights Flickering or Dimming Unexpectedly:
- Check all connections for looseness. Re-seat connectors if necessary.
- Ensure the power supply is adequate for the length of the strip.
- If using connectors, ensure they are properly clamped and making good contact with the strip's pads.
- Some dimmers or power supplies may cause flickering or humming at very low brightness levels. Try increasing the brightness.
- Remote Control Not Responding:
- Replace the battery in the RF remote control.
- Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the controller.
- Re-pair the remote with the controller if necessary (refer to controller instructions for pairing method, typically involves pressing specific buttons on the remote after power cycling the strip).
- Adhesive Not Holding:
- Ensure the installation surface was thoroughly cleaned and dry before application.
- For long-term or challenging installations, use the provided mounting clips or additional adhesive solutions.
