Introduction
Thank you for choosing the JOYLIT 24V COB LED Strip Light. This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your LED strip light. Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain them for future reference.
The COB (Chip-On-Board) LED technology ensures a continuous, smooth, and uniform light output without visible individual LED dots, making it ideal for various lighting applications, including reflective surfaces and narrow spaces.

Safety Information
- Power Supply: This LED strip operates on 24V DC. Do not connect it directly to 120V/240V AC power. A compatible 24V DC power supply (minimum 150W for 5 meters) is required and sold separately.
- Installation: Ensure power is disconnected before installation or maintenance. Improper installation can lead to electric shock or fire.
- Cutting: The strip can be cut at designated marks (every 3.3cm). Cutting at non-marked points will damage the circuit. Soldering is required for reconnecting cut sections.
- Heat: This high-efficiency LED strip generates more heat than ordinary strips. Ensure adequate ventilation and do not cover the strip with heat-insulating materials.
- Waterproofing: The strip is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets. While suitable for outdoor use, avoid submersion or direct high-pressure water exposure.
- Children: Keep out of reach of children.

Setup Instructions
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Remove any dust, oil, or moisture that could affect the adhesive.
- Measure and Cut (if necessary): Measure the desired length for your installation. The LED strip can be cut at the designated cut marks, which are located every 3.3cm. Use sharp scissors to ensure a clean cut.
- Connect Wires (if cut): If you have cut the strip, you will need to solder wires to the copper pads at the cut points to reconnect sections or connect to the power supply. Use a 2-pin connector (1mm) for reconnection.
- Apply Adhesive: The strip features strong original 3M adhesive backing. Carefully peel off the protective cover from the adhesive side.
- Mount the Strip: Press the LED strip firmly onto the prepared surface, ensuring even pressure along its entire length for optimal adhesion.
- Connect to Power Supply: Connect the LED strip to a compatible 24V DC power supply. Ensure polarity is correct (positive to positive, negative to negative).
- Connect Dimmer (Optional): If using a dimmer, connect it between the 24V DC power supply and the LED strip. For in-wall dimmer switches, a dimmable driver must be connected behind the switch.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Once connected to a power supply, the LED strip will illuminate when the power supply is switched on.
- Dimming Functionality: The JOYLIT COB LED strip is 0-100% dimmable. To utilize this feature, a separate 12V/24V LED dimmer switch is required (not included). Connect the dimmer according to its specific instructions.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: To clean the LED strip, gently wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the silicone coating or the LEDs.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the strip for any signs of damage, such as cuts, cracks, or loose connections. Ensure the adhesive remains secure.
- Waterproof Integrity: The IP65 silicone seal is designed to prevent cracking and yellowing over years of operation, maintaining the strip's waterproof properties.
- Longevity: The professional-grade design, including the 3OZ dual copper PCB, contributes to a long lifespan of approximately 65,000 hours, maintaining original colors and brightness over time.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up | No power, incorrect voltage, loose connection, damaged strip. | Check if the 24V DC power supply is connected and switched on. Verify that the power supply output matches the strip's 24V requirement. Inspect all connections for proper contact. If the strip was cut, ensure soldering is correct. |
| LED strip is very dim | Insufficient power supply, voltage drop, dimmer setting too low. | Ensure the power supply provides adequate wattage (minimum 150W for 5M). Check dimmer settings. For long runs, ensure proper wiring to minimize voltage drop. |
| Flickering or inconsistent light | Unstable power supply, loose connection, incompatible dimmer. | Verify power supply stability. Check all connections. Ensure the dimmer is compatible with 24V LED strips. |
| Humming or buzzing sound | Interference from mounting surface (e.g., magnetic strip). | If mounted on a magnetic strip or metal surface, try removing the magnetic strip or insulating the strip from the surface. |
| Adhesive not sticking | Surface not clean or smooth, improper application. | Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Apply firm, even pressure across the strip during installation. |
