Introduction
Thank you for choosing the MALIIGAZA 24V Golden Yellow COB LED Strip. This product is designed to provide super bright, soft, and uniform lighting for various indoor decorative applications. Its high-density LED chips ensure no dark areas or lighting spots, offering a superior lighting experience compared to traditional SMD LED strips. This manual provides essential information for safe installation, operation, and maintenance of your LED strip.
Safety Information
- The COB LED strip operates at a low voltage of DC 24V. DO NOT connect the LED strip directly to AC 110V (power socket) without an appropriate AC/DC transformer (power supply). Doing so will damage the strip and poses a safety hazard.
- Ensure the power supply used matches the voltage requirements (24V DC) and has sufficient wattage for the length of the strip being installed.
- Installation surface must be smooth, clean, and dry for proper adhesion.
- Avoid bending or folding the strip sharply at angles less than 90 degrees to prevent damage to the internal components.
- Do not crush or apply excessive pressure to the LED strip.
- This product is designed for indoor use only and is not water resistant. Avoid exposure to moisture or wet environments.

Setup
1. Power Supply Connection
The COB LED strip requires a 24V DC power supply (not included). Ensure the power supply's wattage is sufficient for the total length of the strip you are installing. Connect the DC female connector (included) to the LED strip, then connect the power supply to the DC female connector. If using a controller (not included), connect it between the power supply and the LED strip.

2. Cutting and Flexibility
The COB LED strip is highly flexible and can be bent or folded to fit various shapes. It is also cuttable at designated cut lines, typically every 1.97 inches (50mm). Use sharp scissors to cut along these lines to achieve your desired length. Avoid cutting in between the designated marks to prevent damaging the circuit.

3. Mounting
The back of the COB LED strip features strong 3M adhesive tape for easy installation. Peel off the protective backing and firmly press the strip onto a clean, smooth, and dry surface. Ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, or moisture for optimal adhesion.

Maintenance
The MALIIGAZA COB LED strip requires minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Keep the strip clean by gently wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the strip is not exposed to excessive heat or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this can affect its lifespan.
- Periodically check the adhesive to ensure it remains securely attached to the surface.
Troubleshooting
Strip Not Lighting Up
- Check Power Connection: Ensure the power supply is correctly connected to the DC female connector and the connector is securely attached to the LED strip. Verify the power supply is plugged into a working outlet.
- Verify Voltage: Confirm that your power supply is 24V DC. Using an incorrect voltage (e.g., 12V or 110V AC directly) will prevent the strip from working or damage it.
- Inspect Cut Lines: If the strip was cut, ensure the cut was made precisely along the designated cut line. Improper cuts can break the circuit.
- Check for Damage: Inspect the strip for any visible damage, such as severe bends, cuts outside the designated marks, or exposed wires.
Flickering or Uneven Light
- Power Supply Capacity: Ensure your power supply has sufficient wattage for the length of the LED strip. An underpowered supply can cause flickering or dimming.
- Loose Connections: Check all connections (power supply to connector, connector to strip) for looseness.
- Controller Issues: If using a dimmer or controller, ensure it is compatible with 24V DC LED strips and is functioning correctly.
