Safety Information
- Power Supply Requirement: This LED strip operates on 24V DC. DO NOT connect the LED strip directly to AC 110V or 220V (standard wall power socket). An appropriate AC/DC transformer (power supply) is required and is NOT included with this product. Connecting directly to AC power will damage the strip and poses a safety risk.
- Indoor Use Only: This product is designed for indoor applications. Avoid exposure to moisture, water, or outdoor elements unless explicitly stated otherwise for a specific variant.
- Voltage Compatibility: Ensure your power supply and any controllers are compatible with the 24V DC requirement of this LED strip.
- Installation by Qualified Personnel: If you are unsure about electrical wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
- Avoid Overheating: Do not install the LED strip in enclosed spaces without adequate ventilation. Ensure proper heat dissipation to prolong the lifespan of the product.
- Cutting Precautions: Only cut the LED strip at designated cutting marks. Cutting elsewhere may damage the circuit and render sections of the strip inoperable.

Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your COB LED strip light:
- 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 (Optional): The LED strip is flexible and can be cut to your desired length. Locate the designated cutting marks (approximately every 1.22 inches or 31mm) along the strip. Use sharp scissors to cut precisely at these marks. Do not cut in other areas.

- Apply the Strip: Peel off the backing from the strong double-sided adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface, ensuring firm contact along its entire length.
- Connect Power Supply and Controller: The LED strip requires a 24V DC power supply (transformer) and optionally a controller for dimming or other functions. Connect the LED strip to the controller (if used), and then connect the controller to the 24V DC power supply. Finally, plug the power supply into a standard wall outlet.

Important: Ensure all connections are secure and polarity is correct (positive to positive, negative to negative). Refer to the diagram for proper wiring. Never connect the LED strip directly to 110V/220V AC power.
Operating Instructions
Once installed and connected to a compatible 24V DC power supply and controller (if applicable), your MALIIGAZA COB LED Strip Light is ready for operation.
- Power On/Off: Use the switch on your power supply or controller to turn the LED strip on or off.
- Brightness Adjustment (Dimmable): If using a dimmable power supply or controller, adjust the brightness level according to your preference. The COB LED strip supports smooth dimming from 100% down to low levels.

Maintenance
The MALIIGAZA COB LED Strip Light requires minimal maintenance to ensure its longevity and performance.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the surface of the LED strip with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the strip is completely dry before reconnecting power. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Inspection: Periodically check the strip for any signs of damage, such as cuts, cracks, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or safety hazards.
- Avoid Physical Stress: While flexible, avoid excessive bending, twisting, or pulling of the LED strip, especially at connection points, to prevent internal damage.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your MALIIGAZA COB LED Strip Light, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up | No power, incorrect connection, faulty power supply/controller, damaged strip. | Check if the power supply is plugged in and receiving power. Verify all connections (strip to controller, controller to power supply) are secure and correct polarity. Test the power supply with another device if possible. Inspect the strip for visible damage. |
| Lights are dim or flickering | Insufficient power, loose connection, faulty dimmer/controller, voltage drop. | Ensure the power supply wattage is sufficient for the strip's length. Check all connections for looseness. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible and functioning correctly. While this strip is designed for minimal voltage drop over 32.8ft, ensure the power supply is adequately rated. |
| Only part of the strip lights up | Damage to a section, incorrect cutting. | Inspect the unlit section for physical damage or improper cuts. If a section was cut incorrectly, it may be permanently damaged. |
| Adhesive not holding | Surface not clean/dry, improper application, unsuitable surface material. | Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Apply firm pressure along the strip during installation. For rough or porous surfaces, consider using additional mounting clips or stronger adhesive. |
