Dimming: This LED strip is dimmable. To utilize the dimming feature, it must be connected to a compatible dimmable 12V Loox5 driver and a suitable dimmer switch or app control system. Refer to your driver and dimmer's instructions for specific dimming procedures.
App Control: If your 12V Loox5 driver system supports app control, you can manage the light's on/off function and dimming levels through the associated mobile application. Consult the app's user guide for pairing and control instructions.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LED strip light, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
LED strip does not light up.	No power to the driver. Loose connection. Incorrect polarity. Damaged strip or driver.	Check power outlet and circuit breaker. Ensure all connections are secure. Verify positive and negative connections. Inspect strip and driver for visible damage. Replace if necessary.
LED strip flickers or dims inconsistently.	Incompatible dimmer or driver. Loose connection. Overloaded driver.	Ensure driver and dimmer are compatible with 12V LED strips. Check all connections for tightness. Verify the total wattage of the LED strip does not exceed the driver's capacity.
Only a section of the strip lights up.	Damage to the strip beyond a cutting point. Faulty connection within the strip.	Inspect the non-illuminated section for physical damage. The damaged section may need to be replaced.
