    If for instance you find that your strip light is somewhat too long for the area in which you strategy to install it, you can chop a section off the end to make it match. Alternatively, if you have a big, single strip of led lights, but you would prefer two separate pieces, you can lower the strip in half.

    LED Strip Lights can be lower at 5 or 10cm intervals (based on the amount of LEDs per metre) all along their length. The "cutting points" are clearly marked with a straight line and a diagram of a pair of scissors. To separate your strip lights, lower along this line using a pair of scissors or craft knife. Normally make confident the instrument you are utilizing is sharp, as a blunt tool could potentially result in damage to the circuit board.

    Due to their layout, LED Strip Lights will continue to operate even soon after they have been lower. This is given that their circuit is absolutely closed at every cutting point. If you are getting rid of a segment from the finish of your strip light, always make confident you are getting rid of it at the finish away from the connector.

    If you are cutting you strip lights into two parts and strategy to use them as two separate installations, you will also have to do a bit of soldering. At just about every cutting point there should really be a series of solder factors (circular metal discs), 2 in the case of single colour lights and 4 in the case of colour modifying RGB. To attach a new length of 2 core or 4 core cable, you will require to solder the wires to their corresponding solder factors (which should be clearly marked for this objective).

    Soldering isn't a tough process, but certainly involves the requisite tools, which most consumers don't own. Asking an electrician to do the soldering on your behalf will also perform out to be rather costly as you are of course having to pay for their time. The most affordable, and safest choice is to inquire your retailer to prepare all the things beforehand.

    It is also attainable to order "solderless connections," which make it possible for you to connect to your LED Driver or to one more LED Strip Light without the need to have for any soldering.

    If you are purchasing LED Strip Lights don't overlook your power supply. LED Strip Lights rely on a peripheral unit referred to as a energy supply, also referred to as a transformer or driver, which is necessary to make them do the job.

    Electrical power supplies come in lots of shapes and sizes, ranging from rather fundamental 'plug and play' units to commercial design transformers which can be hardwired into your mains provide. You will also hear these electrical power supplies referred to as 'transformers.' This is given that as nicely as powering the LED Strip Lights these units are developed to 'transform' the mains 230V AC to a lower voltage 12V DC for this reason generating the provide applicable to the strip lights.

    There are a few considerations you require to make when it comes to picking out the variety of electrical power provide you have to have.
