FAQs
Q: Can I cut the LED strip to a shorter length?
Ans: Anywhere else, cutting could harm the strip. If you intend to return the item, do not cut; this could nullify the warranty.
Q: Can I extend the tape beyond 4 feet?
Ans: If you try to connect more strips, you risk damaging the device by overloading the power supply. Consider purchasing a longer strip model if you require more coverage.
Q: Can I bend the tape light around corners?
Ans: Absolutely, but only with soft contours. Cut and reattach with a solder or corner connection (separate, not included) for sharp 90° corners.
Q: Is this LED tape light waterproof?
Ans: No, the NS-LED4W18 is not waterproof or water-resistant; it is intended only for indoor use. Avoid installing in outdoor areas, next to sinks, or in restrooms.
Q: What type of power source does it require?
Ans: The low-voltage power converter that comes with the tape light usually converts regular 120V AC to 12V DC. In order to avoid electrical dangers, only use the supplied adaptor.
Q: Are the lights dimmable?
Ans: Indeed. The remote control allows you to change the brightness.
Q: Is it safe to leave the lights on overnight?
Ans: Indeed, LED lights are energy-efficient and produce very little heat. However, it’s preferable to turn off the lights when left unattended for extended periods of time for longevity and safety.
Q: Can I mount the tape light on metal or behind a TV?
Ans: Yes, the glue is effective on the majority of dry, clean surfaces, such as wood, plastic, and metal. It works well under cupboards, on shelves, and for backlighting TVs. Just make sure the lights don’t obstruct airflow or heat vents.
