Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What accessories do I require for a basic installation and how do I connect them?
For general or basic installations, you would require:

1 × Power Supply & Power Cord
1 × Switch, Dimmer or Controller

See the installation diagram for guidance.

2. Are there any other items or optional extras that I may need?
Depending on your application, you may need:

Aluminum Profiles
Insulated 2-Core Flex (to extend the wire from the Power Supply to the Strip Light)
2-Core Wire Connectors (for tool-free wire connections)

3. What Voltage Power Supply would I use?
Always use the same voltage Power Supply as the Strip Light.

For example:

12V Strip Light → 12V Power Supply
24V Strip Light → 24V Power Supply

4. What size Power Supply would I need?
Calculate the required power using:

Strip Light Length (M) × Power (Watts/M) + 15%

Example:
5M × 10 Watts/M = 50 Watts
50 Watts + 15% = 57.5 Watts

Therefore, a 60W or 75W Power Supply would be sufficient.

5. What are the benefits of installing Aluminium Profiles?
Aluminum Profiles help to:

Conceal unsightly wiring
Act as an added heat sink
Protect strip lights from dust and moisture
Create a smooth, neat and continuous line of light

6. Can I install LED Strip Lights myself?
Yes! LED Strip Lights are designed for easy plug-and-play installation.

7. Do you have DIY Kits with everything included?
Yes. We have a variety of DIY Kits that include easy-to-use DIY instructions for basic installations.

8. Can I shock myself?
It is highly unlikely to receive a dangerous electric shock from the low-voltage 12V or 24V output side of the Power Supply.

However, we always recommend completing and checking all connections before connecting the Power Supply to the mains.

9. Can the Strip Lights bend around corners or curved shapes?
Most Strip Lights can only bend up and down and should not be bent left or right, as this may damage the circuit board.

For these applications, you can use:

Strip Light Elbows
Connectors with wire between them

Another hassle-free option is our S-Strip Lights, which can bend around corners as well as up and down without requiring additional connections.

10. Can I cut the Strip Lights?
Yes. Our Strip Lights have clearly marked cut-lines, making it easy to cut them to length using scissors or a sharp blade.

For hassle-free installations, we also offer a Cut & Solder Customising Service, where we cut the Strip Lights to your specific lengths, solder the connections and test them. You simply need to install them and connect the wires.

11. How are the Strip Lights mounted?
Our Strip Lights have high-quality double-sided adhesive tape along the back for easy and secure mounting.

12. Can they be dimmed?
Yes! Our LED Strip Lights can be dimmed. Please see our range of Dimming Controllers.

Installation & Setup

24V COB LED Strip Light Installation & Setup

Installing a 24V COB LED Strip Light is straightforward when the correct components are used.

Step 1: Plan Your Installation

Measure the installation area, determine the total strip length required, and calculate the total wattage to select a suitable 24V DC power supply with at least 20% spare capacity.

Step 2: Prepare the Mounting Surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. For the best performance and longest lifespan, install the strip inside an aluminium LED profile.

Step 3: Cut the Strip (If Required)

Only cut the LED strip at the marked cut points. Cutting elsewhere may damage the strip.

Step 4: Connect the Strip

Connect the strip to the 24V DC power supply using compatible LED strip connectors or by soldering the wires to the copper pads. Always observe the correct polarity (+ and –).

Step 5: Test Before Mounting

Power the strip briefly to confirm all sections illuminate correctly before permanently fixing it in place.

Step 6: Secure the Strip

Remove the adhesive backing and press the strip firmly onto the mounting surface or into the aluminium profile. Avoid excessive bending or twisting during installation.

Step 7: Connect to Power

Connect the power supply to the mains according to local electrical regulations. If you're unsure about mains wiring, consult a qualified electrician.

Installation Tips

Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius.
Use aluminium profiles to improve heat dissipation and maximize LED lifespan.
Inject power at multiple points for longer installations to minimize voltage drop.
Do not power the strip while it is still tightly wound on the reel.
Choose an IP-rated strip suitable for the installation environment, especially in damp or outdoor locations.

Following these steps will help ensure reliable performance, consistent brightness, and a long service life from your 24V COB LED Strip Light installation.

Troubleshooting & Recommendations

24V COB LED Strip Light Troubleshooting & Recommendations

Common Issues & Solutions

LED strip won't turn on

Check that the power supply is providing 24V DC.
Verify all wiring connections and polarity (+ and –).
Ensure the power supply is switched on and correctly sized for the load.

Strip is dim or unevenly lit

The power supply may be undersized.
Excessive voltage drop can occur on long runs—inject power at additional points.
Check for loose or damaged connections.

Only part of the strip lights up

Inspect for cuts or damaged sections.
Ensure connectors are fully seated or solder joints are secure.
Test the strip in smaller sections to identify the faulty area.

Flickering lights

Check for loose wiring or poor electrical connections.
Confirm the power supply is stable and not overloaded.
Ensure any dimmer or controller is compatible with 24V DC COB LED strips.

Adhesive won't stick

Clean the mounting surface before installation.
Install on a smooth, dry surface.
Use an aluminium LED profile or mounting clips for a more secure, long-term installation.

Recommendations

Use a quality 24V DC LED power supply with at least 20% spare capacity.
Install the strip in an aluminium profile to improve heat dissipation, protect the LEDs, and create a professional finish.
Avoid bending the strip sharply or twisting it during installation.
Never power the strip while it is still rolled up on the reel, as heat can build up and damage the LEDs.
For long installations, inject power at multiple points to maintain consistent brightness.
Select the correct IP rating for your environment—IP20 for indoor dry areas and waterproof versions for damp or outdoor applications.
Always test the strip before permanently mounting it.
Disconnect the power before cutting, connecting, or servicing the LED strip.

Following these recommendations will help maximise the performance, efficiency, and lifespan of your 24V COB LED Strip Light while reducing the likelihood of installation issues.

24V COB LED Strip Light Safety Tips

To ensure safe installation and reliable operation, follow these important safety guidelines:

Always disconnect the power before installing, cutting, or modifying the LED strip.
Only use a compatible 24V DC LED power supply that is correctly rated for the total wattage of the installation.
Choose a power supply with at least 20% spare capacity to prevent overloading.
Observe the correct polarity (+ and –) when making electrical connections.
Do not connect the LED strip directly to 230V AC mains power.
Never power the strip while it is tightly wound on the reel, as heat buildup can damage the LEDs.
Install the strip on a clean, dry, and heat-resistant surface.
For the best performance and longest lifespan, use an aluminium LED profile to improve heat dissipation.
Avoid excessive bending, twisting, or folding, and only cut the strip at the designated cut points.
Keep all electrical connections secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
Use waterproof (IP-rated) LED strips and sealed connections in damp or outdoor environments.
Ensure adequate ventilation around the power supply and avoid covering it with insulation or other materials.
If you're connecting the power supply to mains electricity and are unsure of the wiring, consult a qualified electrician.
Regularly inspect the installation for loose connections, damaged cables, or signs of overheating.
Keep LED strips, power supplies, and wiring out of reach of young children and away from flammable materials.

Following these safety precautions will help ensure a safe installation, reliable performance, and a long service life for your 24V COB LED Strip Light.
