High quality

This SMD2835 LED strip is made from high-quality flexible plastic. It has 3M adhesive backing for easy fitting and is supplied in a 5-metre length that can be cut or connected to additional sections. Its IP20 rating means it is not resistant to water or moisture, so it is for indoor use only at temperatures from -25°C to 60°C. It can be used for decorative or general lighting.

Extending or shortening an LED strip

This LED strip is easy to cut or extend. Both the 12V and 24V versions can be cut every 3 LEDs (10 cm). Cut through the middle of the copper contacts marked + and -. Sections can be joined using connectors or sealed with end caps.

The following connectors are available for shaping the strip as required.

• Straight connector
• 90° corner connector
• T-connector

For connecting the strip, the following connectors are available.

• DC connector
• End piece with short 2-pin wire

Choosing the right power supply

A power adapter is needed to connect this strip. It operates on 12V and requires a suitable adapter to convert the voltage. The correct adapter allows the intended performance and prevents insufficient power.

The power supply should have a higher wattage rating than the LED strip. For example, 5 metres use 24W, so a supply rated at least 24W is required.
