4. Safety Information
- Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
- Only use a 12V DC power supply with this LED strip. Using an incorrect voltage can damage the product and pose a safety risk.
- Do not expose the bare wires to moisture or direct contact. Ensure all connections are properly insulated.
- Avoid bending the strip sharply at angles less than 90 degrees to prevent damage to the internal circuitry.
- Do not cut the strip at any point other than the designated cutting marks. Cutting elsewhere will damage the circuit and render that section unusable.
- Keep out of reach of children.
5. Setup and Installation
The ORFOFE LED Neon Light Strip is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps for proper setup:
5.1 Preparing the Strip
- Unroll the Strip: Carefully unroll the LED neon light strip from its packaging.
- Determine Length: If a shorter length is required, identify the designated cutting marks on the strip. These marks are typically indicated by a small scissor icon or copper pads. Cut only at these marks.
- Shape the Strip: The strip is highly flexible and can be bent into various shapes. Gently bend it to achieve your desired design. Avoid sharp, acute bends.

5.2 Power Connection
- Identify Wires: The strip comes with two bare wires (typically red for positive and black for negative).
- Connect to 12V DC Power Supply: Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V DC power supply and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure a secure and insulated connection. (Note: A 12V DC power supply is not included and must be purchased separately.)
- Insulate Connections: Use electrical tape or heat shrink tubing to properly insulate all exposed wire connections to prevent short circuits and ensure safety, especially for outdoor use.

6. Operating Instructions
Once the LED neon light strip is properly installed and connected to a 12V DC power supply, operation is straightforward:
- Power On: Connect the 12V DC power supply to a power outlet. The LED strip will illuminate.
- Power Off: Disconnect the 12V DC power supply from the power outlet to turn off the lights.
The strip features a side brightness design, ensuring uniform and soft light output, ideal for decorative purposes.
7. Maintenance
The ORFOFE LED Neon Light Strip requires minimal maintenance to ensure longevity and optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the silicone surface with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the power is off before cleaning.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the strip and its connections for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections.
- Waterproof Feature: The IP66 waterproof wrap protects the strip from rain and splashes. However, it is not designed for prolonged submersion in water.
- Temperature Resistance: The strip is designed to operate effectively across a wide temperature range, from freezing conditions (e.g., -28°C) to high temperatures (e.g., 100°C), as demonstrated in testing.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LED neon light strip, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Strip does not light up | No power supply; Incorrect voltage; Loose connection; Damaged strip section. | Ensure 12V DC power supply is connected and working. Check all wire connections for security and proper polarity. Inspect the strip for visible damage, especially at cut points. |
| Lights are dim or flickering | Insufficient power supply; Loose connection; Voltage drop over long runs. | Verify power supply output matches strip requirements. Check connections. For very long strips, consider a more powerful supply or shorter segments. |
| Only a section of the strip is lit | Damage to the internal circuit in the unlit section; Incorrect cutting. | Inspect the unlit section for physical damage. Ensure cuts were made only at designated marks. Damaged sections may need to be replaced. |
If you are unable to resolve the issue after following these steps, please contact customer support.
