FAQs
What is COB technology?
COB (Chip-on-Board) technology integrates multiple LED chips directly onto a substrate, creating a single, more uniform light source with better reliability and a smoother appearance compared to traditional SMD LEDs.
Do I need a power supply and controller?
Yes, this LED strip light requires a separate 12V DC power supply and a compatible LED controller for operation and control (e.g., dimming, on/off).
Can I cut the LED strip?
Yes, the strip can be cut to your desired length, but only at the designated cut marks indicated on the strip.
Is this LED strip suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, with an IP67 rating, it is protected against dust and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for sheltered outdoor applications.
What is the beam angle?
The beam angle is 120°, providing a wide spread of light.
How much power does this strip consume?
Typically, COB strips consume around 8-10W per meter. Calculate the total wattage needed based on the length you plan to use.
What is the warranty period?
Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, as this can vary.
Troubleshooting
LED strip not lighting up
Check all connections, ensure correct polarity (+/-), verify the power supply is providing the correct voltage (12V DC), and confirm the power supply and controller are functioning.
Flickering or inconsistent light
Ensure the power supply is adequate for the length of the strip. Loose connections can also cause flickering; re-secure all connections. Check the controller for proper functionality.
LEDs not lighting up after cutting
Ensure the strip was cut precisely on the designated cut marks. Re-inspect the connection point for any damage or misalignment.
Overheating
Ensure proper ventilation around the strip. If installed in a confined space like a channel, consider a heat-dissipating profile. Reduce the brightness if using a dimmable controller.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable and reliable with stable COB technology.
- Suitable for wet or dusty environments due to IP67 rating.
- Slim design allows for installation in narrow spaces.
- Wide beam angle provides broad illumination.
- Long 5-meter length offers flexibility in installation.
Cons
- Requires a compatible power supply and controller (not included).
- Color is fixed to red, limiting multi-color applications.
- May require additional mounting hardware for secure attachment.
- COB technology can generate more heat than some traditional LEDs, requiring adequate ventilation.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This LED strip light requires a compatible 12V DC power supply and a suitable LED controller for dimming and control. Cut the strip only at designated cut marks. Connect the power supply and controller according to their respective instructions, ensuring correct polarity.
Compatibility: Ensure your power supply wattage is sufficient for the total length of the strip used (typically 8-10W per meter). Consult the power supply and controller specifications for voltage and current compatibility.
Care: To clean, disconnect power and use a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the strip is installed in an area with adequate ventilation to prevent overheating, especially if used for extended periods.
