2. Safety Information
Please read all safety instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or other hazards.
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before any installation or maintenance.
- Use only a 24VDC power supply compatible with the strip's wattage requirements (minimum 150W for 16.4ft).
- This product is rated IP20 and is non-waterproof. It is intended for indoor use only. Avoid exposure to moisture or high humidity.
- Do not bend the LED strip excessively. Avoid bending more than 2 inches at any point to prevent damage to the PCB or LEDs.
- Do not connect the LED strip directly to AC power.
- Keep out of reach of children.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all items listed below are included in your package:
- 1x 16.4Ft (5m) 5-in-1 RGBWW LED Strip
- 1x Board-to-Board LED Connector
- 1x Board-to-Wire LED Connector
4. Setup and Installation
4.1. Pre-installation Checks
Before permanent installation, unroll the LED strip and connect it to a compatible 24VDC power supply and an RGBWW/RGBCCT controller (sold separately) to test its functionality. Ensure all LEDs illuminate correctly and respond to color and dimming commands.
4.2. Cutting the LED Strip
The LED strip can be cut to your desired length. Each cutting point is marked every 7 LEDs (62.5mm / 2.46 inches). Always cut along the designated center line to avoid damaging the PCB.

4.3. Connecting the LED Strip
This LED strip requires a 24VDC power supply and an RGBWW/RGBCCT controller for operation. These components are not included and must be purchased separately.

Use the included connectors for easy installation without soldering:
- Board-to-Board Connector: Used to connect two cut sections of the LED strip directly.
- Board-to-Wire Connector: Used to connect a cut section of the LED strip to wires, typically for connecting to a controller or power supply.

4.4. Mounting the LED Strip
The LED strip features an adhesive backing for easy mounting on clean, dry, and smooth surfaces. Peel off the protective layer and firmly press the strip onto the desired location. Ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, or moisture for optimal adhesion.
5. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and connected to a compatible RGBWW/RGBCCT controller, you can control the LED strip's functions.
5.1. Color Control (RGB+CCT)
The 5-in-1 design allows for a wide spectrum of colors and tunable white light:
- RGB Colors: Access thousands of vibrant colors for atmospheric and entertainment lighting.
- Tunable White (CCT): Adjust the white light from Warm White (approx. 2800K) to Daylight (approx. 6500K) to suit different moods and tasks.

5.2. Dimming
The LED strip is fully dimmable. Use your compatible RGBWW/RGBCCT controller to adjust the brightness level to your preference.
6. Maintenance
The LED strip requires minimal maintenance. To ensure longevity and optimal performance:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the strip with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Inspection: Periodically check the connections and the strip for any signs of damage or wear.
- Environment: Ensure the strip remains in a dry, indoor environment, away from direct heat sources or extreme temperatures.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power, incorrect wiring, faulty power supply/controller. | Check all connections. Ensure 24VDC power supply is connected and functioning. Verify controller is powered and correctly wired. |
| Some LEDs or sections do not light up. | Damaged section, poor connection at cut point, pin de-tinning. | Inspect the affected section for physical damage. Re-check connections at cut points. If a unit is damaged due to pin de-tinning, use the provided board-to-board connector to replace the damaged unit by cutting along the center line. |
| Colors are incorrect or not changing. | Incorrect controller type, faulty controller, wiring issue. | Ensure you are using an RGBWW/RGBCCT compatible controller. Check wiring to ensure correct color channels are connected. |
| Flickering lights. | Insufficient power supply, loose connection, faulty strip section. | Verify power supply wattage meets or exceeds the strip's requirements (130W for 16.4ft, recommend 150W+). Check all connections for looseness. If problem persists, isolate the flickering section. |
| Adhesive not sticking. | Surface not clean/dry, unsuitable surface material. | Ensure mounting surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. For porous or uneven surfaces, consider using additional mounting clips or stronger adhesive tape. |
