5. Care and Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your TJOY LED Light Strips.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strips with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Water Protection: While the LED strip itself is IP65 waterproof, the power supply and connectors are not. Ensure these non-waterproof components are installed in a dry, protected area, especially for outdoor applications.
- Temperature: Avoid exposing the LED strips to extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as this can affect their performance and lifespan.
- Physical Damage: Do not bend the LED strips sharply or apply excessive force, as this can damage the internal circuitry.
