Product Information
Full details
This 5-meter roll of V-TAC LED strip lights is designed for versatile lighting applications, offering stable COB technology for enhanced reliability and longevity. Its 8mm width and 120° beam angle make it ideal for accent lighting in spaces like cabinets, bars, or along borders and edges, especially where installation space is limited. The primary benefit is its flexible and efficient illumination for decorative and functional purposes, though its specific green color may limit its use in applications requiring neutral or different colored light.

FAQs
What power supply do I need for this LED strip?
You will need a 12V DC power supply. The wattage of the power supply should be sufficient to power the entire length of the strip you intend to use, typically adding 10-20% overhead.
Can I cut this LED strip to size?
Yes, the strip can be cut to your desired length, but only at the designated cut marks clearly indicated on the strip itself. Cutting elsewhere may damage the circuitry.
Is this LED strip suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the IP67 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water immersion, making it suitable for many outdoor applications. Ensure connections are properly sealed if exposed to direct water.
Can I change the color of the light?
No, this specific V-TAC LED strip is designed to emit a fixed green light. It does not support color changing functionality.
How do I connect multiple strips together?
You can cut the strip at the marked points and use appropriate LED strip connectors or solder wires to join them in series. Ensure proper sealing of connections for IP67 rating if needed.
What is COB technology?
COB (Chip-on-Board) technology integrates multiple LED chips directly onto the circuit board, creating a more uniform light source with fewer visible dots and improved reliability and lifespan.
What is the beam angle?
The beam angle is 120°, meaning the light is spread out widely over a large area, providing diffuse and even illumination.
Troubleshooting
LED strip does not light up
Check that the power supply is connected correctly and providing the correct voltage. Verify that the polarity (+/-) is correct at the connection point. Ensure the strip is cut at a valid point and the connection is secure.
Flickering lights
A loose connection is the most common cause. Re-check all connections between the strip, controller, and power supply. Ensure the power supply is adequate for the length of the strip.
Uneven brightness or dead sections
This can indicate a faulty section of the strip or a poor connection. If the issue is within a cut section, re-examine the cut and connection. If it persists across the strip, consider replacing the affected portion or the entire strip.
Reduced lifespan or failure
Ensure the strip is not overheating. If installed in an enclosed space, consider adding ventilation. Verify that the power supply is stable and providing the correct voltage without fluctuations.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Stable COB technology ensures consistent performance and durability.
- IP67 rating provides excellent protection against dust and water.
- Slim 8mm width is ideal for discreet installations.
- Wide 120° beam angle offers broad illumination.
- 5-meter length offers flexibility for various project sizes.
Cons
- The fixed green color limits its application for general or multi-color lighting needs.
- Requires a compatible power supply and controller (not included).
- Installation may require cutting and connecting, which needs careful handling to maintain IP rating.
- COB technology can sometimes generate more heat than SMD LEDs, requiring adequate ventilation in enclosed spaces.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Plan your layout: Determine the desired length and location for the LED strip.
- Cut the strip: If necessary, cut the strip only at the designated cut marks to ensure proper connection.
- Connect power: Attach a compatible DC power supply (voltage must match strip requirements, typically 12V or 24V) and a suitable controller (if dimming or color changing effects are desired, though this model is fixed green) using appropriate connectors.
- Mount the strip: Use the adhesive backing or mounting clips to secure the strip in place.
Compatibility:
- Requires a 12V DC power supply (not included).
- Compatible with standard LED strip controllers for on/off functionality. Dimmable controllers can be used if power supply compatibility is confirmed.
- Ensure the power supply's wattage capacity exceeds the total wattage of the strip used.
Care:
- Wipe gently with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Ensure the strip is powered off before cleaning.
- For outdoor or damp locations, ensure all connections are properly sealed to maintain the IP67 rating.
