1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the BTF-LIGHTING FCOB RGBCCT LED Strip. This high-density flexible LED strip provides uniform, multi-color illumination with adjustable white light (2700K to 6500K). This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective installation, operation, and maintenance of your LED strip.
Safety Information
- Ensure the power supply is DC24V. Connecting to an incorrect voltage or AC power will damage the product and may pose a safety risk.
- This LED strip has an IP30 rating, meaning it is not waterproof. It is designed for indoor use only and must not be exposed to moisture or liquids.
- Disconnect power before any installation, cutting, or maintenance procedures.
- Avoid bending the LED strip sharply or at angles less than 90 degrees to prevent damage to the internal circuitry.
- Do not cover the LED strip with materials that could impede heat dissipation, as this may lead to overheating.
- Keep out of reach of children.
2. Product Features
- FCOB RGBCCT Technology: Features a high-density FCOB (Flip Chip On Board) design with 840 LEDs/meter, totaling 2520 LEDs for a 3-meter strip. This ensures uniform, dot-free illumination with a 180-degree beam angle.
- Wide Color and Temperature Range: Offers full RGB color capabilities along with adjustable white light from 2700K (warm white) to 6500K (cool white).
- High Color Rendering Index (Ra > 90): Provides accurate color reproduction.
- Flexible and Cuttable: The strip is highly flexible (12mm width) and can be cut along designated marks to achieve desired lengths without damaging the remaining sections.
- Strong Adhesive Backing: Equipped with powerful double-sided adhesive for secure mounting on various clean surfaces.
- Controller Compatibility: Designed to work with most RGBCCT controllers available on the market (controller sold separately).
- Long Lifespan: Engineered for over 50,000 hours of operation.

5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Preparation
- Unroll the LED strip completely before testing or installation to prevent overheating.
- Ensure you have a compatible DC24V power supply and an RGBCCT controller.
- Clean the surface where the LED strip will be mounted. The surface must be dry, smooth, and free of dust or oil.
5.2 Cutting the LED Strip
The LED strip can be cut to your desired length. Locate the designated cutting marks (usually indicated by a scissor icon or copper pads) on the strip. Cut only at these marks to avoid damaging the circuit.

5.3 Mounting the LED Strip
- Adhesive Mounting: Peel off the protective backing from the double-sided tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto the cleaned surface, ensuring firm contact along its entire length.
- Clip Mounting: For added security or on uneven surfaces, use the provided mounting clips. Secure the clips to the surface with screws (not included) and snap the LED strip into place.
5.4 Connecting the LED Strip
The FCOB RGBCCT LED strip requires a 6-pin connection (DC24V, R, G, B, CCT1, CCT2). Ensure correct polarity and pin assignment when connecting to your RGBCCT controller.
- Single End Connection: Connect the controller to one end of the LED strip using the appropriate connector.
- Dual End Connection: For longer runs or to minimize voltage drop, connect the controller to both ends of the LED strip.
- Corner Connections: Use flexible connectors or solder wires to navigate corners without sharp bends.

5.5 Power Connection
Connect the DC24V power supply to your RGBCCT controller, and then connect the controller to the LED strip. Ensure all connections are secure before applying power.
6. Operating Instructions
This LED strip requires a compatible RGBCCT controller for operation. The specific functions and controls will depend on the controller model you are using. Refer to your controller's instruction manual for detailed operating procedures.
General Operation:
- Power On/Off: Use the controller to turn the LED strip on or off.
- Color Selection: Select desired RGB colors using the controller's color wheel or preset buttons.
- White Light Adjustment: Adjust the white light color temperature from warm white (2700K) to cool white (6500K) and its brightness.
- Dimming: Adjust the overall brightness of the LED strip.
- Modes/Scenes: Many controllers offer various dynamic modes or customizable scenes.
Important: Before using, ensure the correct color order is set on your RGBCCT controller to match the LED strip's configuration.
7. Maintenance
The BTF-LIGHTING FCOB RGBCCT LED Strip is designed for long-term, low-maintenance operation. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
- Cleaning: Ensure the power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the LED strip with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check the strip for any signs of damage, loose connections, or adhesive degradation.
- Environment: Maintain a dry environment and avoid exposing the strip to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED strip, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power, incorrect voltage, loose connection, faulty power supply/controller. | Check power supply connection and output. Ensure all wires are securely connected. Verify controller is functioning. |
| Incorrect colors or flickering. | Incorrect wiring, controller settings, voltage drop. | Verify wiring matches the controller's pinout. Adjust color order settings on the controller. Ensure power supply is adequate for the strip length. |
| Section of the strip is not lighting up. | Damage to the strip, improper cut, faulty connection at a cut point. | Inspect the non-working section for physical damage. Check connections at cut points. If damaged, replace the section or the entire strip. |
| Adhesive not holding. | Surface not clean, uneven surface, excessive heat. | Ensure surface is clean and dry before application. Use mounting clips for additional support, especially on textured or painted walls. |
