the installation methods and precautions of LED light strips
LED light strip refers to the special processing technology to weld the light-emitting diode light on the copper wire or the strip flexible circuit board, and then connect the power supply to emit light, so it is named because of its shape like a light strip when it emits light.

LED light strips gradually stand out in the decoration industry due to their lightness, energy-saving, power saving, softness, long service life, safety, and other characteristics. When installing the LED light strip, it is necessary to cut the corresponding length so that the LED light strip can be put into and used correctly. The followings are the specific steps and precautions.

Specific steps

1. Generally speaking, the light strips we buy directly are all coiled. This is because we need to cut the relevant length according to our actual user needs. When cutting, we should pay attention to cutting according to the endpoint.

2. After cutting the length of the LED light strip, we insert the needle of the light strip into the place where there is no patch at one end of the light strip.

3. Connect the needle and the plug of the light strip, and the plug can be energized, but at this time, we need to pay attention to the point that we need to check the insertion point before inserting, and there must be no water stains.

4. After plugging in, if the light strip emits light normally, on the one hand, it means that our installation steps are correct, and on the other hand, it means that there is no problem with the LED light strip itself.

Precautions

1. Do not turn on the LED light strip when the whole roll of the light strip is unpacked or piled up in a ball.

2. When cutting the LED light strip according to the length of the on-site installation, the light strip can only be cut at the place marked with scissors, otherwise, it will cause a unit not to light up. Generally, the length of each unit is 1.5-2 meters.

3. When connecting the power supply or two LED light strips in series, first bend the head of the color light to the left and right to expose the wires in the light strip to about 2-3 mm. connected to avoid a short circuit.

5. Only LED lights with the same specifications and voltage can be connected in series, and the total length of the series must not exceed the maximum allowable length.

5. When the LED light strips are connected in series with each other, each time a section is connected, that is, a section of the pilot light is on, so as to find out in time whether the positive and negative poles are connected incorrectly and whether the light direction of each section of the light strip is consistent.

6. The end of the LED light strip must be covered with a PVC tail plug, and after it is fastened with entrainment tape, the interface is sealed with neutral glass glue to ensure safety.

7. Since the light-emitting diode has unidirectional conductivity, if you use a power cord with an AC/DC converter, you should conduct a power-on test after the power supply is connected to confirm that the positive and negative electrodes are correctly connected before putting it into use.
