Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your RGB AC Plug-in LED Strip Lights. Designed for ease of use, these color-changing LED strips offer versatile lighting solutions for various indoor and outdoor applications. Please read this manual thoroughly before installation and operation, and retain it for future reference.
Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, please observe the following precautions:
- Always ensure the power source matches the voltage requirements of the LED strip (120 Volts AC).
- Do not connect the LED strip to a power supply other than the one provided.
- Avoid bending the LED strip sharply, as this may damage the internal circuitry.
- Do not submerge the LED strip or its power cord in water, despite its waterproof rating. The IP65 rating protects against water jets, not submersion.
- Ensure all connections are secure before plugging into a power outlet.
- Keep the LED strip and its components out of reach of children.
- Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or installation.
- Do not cover the LED strip with materials that may impede heat dissipation during operation.
Package Contents
Verify that all components are present in your package:
- Selected length of RGB AC Plug-in LED Strip (e.g., 3 ft.)
- Connected power cord with in-line DC rectifier and RGB Controller unit
- RGB IR Remote Control
- Mounting Clips with hardware (1 clip per 3-foot section)
Setup and Installation
The RGB AC Plug-in LED Strip Lights are designed for simple plug-and-play installation.
- Unpack the LED Strip: Carefully uncoil the LED strip from its packaging.
- Plan Placement: Determine the desired location for your LED strip. Ensure the length is appropriate for the space. The strip can be cut every half meter (approximately 19.68 inches) at designated cut marks to fit your specific requirements.
- Mounting: Use the provided mounting clips and hardware to secure the LED strip in place. Distribute clips evenly along the length of the strip for stable installation.
- Connect to Power: The power cord with the in-line DC rectifier and RGB Controller unit is pre-attached to the LED strip. Simply plug the 2-prong plug into a standard 120V AC household receptacle.

Operating Instructions
Control your LED strip lights using the included RGB IR Remote Control.
- Power On/Off: Press the ON/OFF button on the remote to turn the lights on or off.
- Color Selection: Use the color buttons on the remote to select from 20 different static colors.
- Dynamic Modes: Choose from 5 dynamic modes (e.g., flash, strobe, fade, smooth) to create various lighting effects. Refer to the remote's button labels for specific mode functions.
- Brightness Adjustment: Use the Brightness Up/Down buttons to adjust the intensity of the light.
- Remote Control Range: For optimal performance, point the remote directly at the IR receiver on the controller unit. The remote may require close proximity to the receiver to function effectively.

Maintenance
The LED strip lights are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: To clean the LED strip, ensure it is unplugged from the power source. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the LED strip in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Coil it loosely to prevent damage.
- Durability: The strip is encased in IP65 waterproof PVC with a UV inhibitor, providing protection against dust and water jets, and resistance to UV degradation.
