- Always keep the rectifier/controller on power wire, don’t remove it. We do not recommend customers to cut, shorten, or splice the light before consulting a qualified electrician.
- Unroll the light before lighting it up. Or else it might melt the rope light and even cause a fire.
- Unplug the light before installing or replacing fuses.
- Do not submerge the light in liquids. Connections are not non-waterproof yet. Keep all connections away from water and moisture to prevent circuit damage which can lead to fires.
- Do not pull on or stretch rope light as this will damage the inner wires, causing sections to fail.

CUTTING INSTRUCTIONS
Although all of our strip light con be cut every cuttoble interval, we do not recommend cutting for the following reasons:
- Cutting the rope light voids any certification the product have had in it’s pre-modified state.
- Cutting or damaging outer plastic tubing can cause an electrical/ fire hazard.
- Cutting anywhere besides the cut marks will damage that section of rope light and cause it to fail.
However, we still provide step-by-step guidance on how to safely cut rope light without damaging it and making it work for your specific needs. Please follow these steps as strictly as possible.
- Disconnect power before you make any cutting.
- Measure the desired length for your application, most of our rope light is cuttable at every 0.5 or 1 meter.Make sure your desired length is divisible by the cuttable interval. If not,round up or down to the nearest interval and make sure this new length will still work with your project.
- Locate the closest cut spot. There will be scissors and black dots every O.S/1m on strip lights where to cut the rope light. Be sure to avoid cutting the diodes or the circuit boards.If you cut the light anywhere else, the internal circuit will be damaged and the light will not illuminate within the interrupted section that has been severed. Take either sharp scissors or utility knife, line it up perpendicularly and cut exactly at the dot. Try to keep the cut as clean and smooth as possible. You will see inner wires at the ends of your rope lights. This completes cutting the rope light and has prepared the end to receive any accessories that might be attached. A cut piece of rope light must have a few more things before it will work: a power cord with an inline rectifier, end cap.
POWERING INSTRUCTIONS
If you’re planning to cut several pieces to place in different locations, you will need to buy additional accessories to power the new cut piece. For single color strip light, you should buy single strip power cord pack. For CCT color strip light, you should buy CCT controller pack. The way to attach a power cord/ controller to your new cut piece is quite the same, they all connect to the light by pin. Last but not least, end cap must be attached before attaching the light to a power source.
- Disconnect power first.
- Locate and identify the wires in the LED strip light on the positive side. It is important to keep the power flowing in the same direction to avoid mixing up polarity. The sharp prongs of the pin should be in the same direction with the”➔” mark on the rope light.
- Line up the sharp prongs of the pin with the light wires. Gently insert the pin into the LED strip light making sure to make a solid and correct connection with the internal wires. The pins do not need to be fully inserted, if you push the pins too far into the strip, it may cause damage to the wires or cause a short circuit.
- Insert rounded prongs of the pin into the power cord/ dimmer controller /CCT Controller, LED lights are polarized, if they do not light up when you first plug them in, simply unplug the power cord and turn 180°the power cord as indicated and reconnect the strip light again.
- Test the strip to make sure the light works by plugging in the power supply into an outlet. The lights should now come on. If the lights do not come on, please check the first step again. Always keep the rectifier or controller on power wire, don’t remove it.
WATERPROOFING INSTRUCTIONS
Important Note: Our 120V LED rope lights are not fully waterproof. When using our rope lights outdoors, all connections, power cords, and end caps must be properly resealed to prevent moisture intrusion which can cause dangerous short circuiting and even lead to fires. When using lights indoors, proper waterproofing would extend their lifespan. Also re-waterproofing your LED strip is a must after you have cut the strip. Waterproof PVC or silicone is required to seal all connections, power cords, and end caps. NOTE the use of any non-recommended sealant e.g. electrical tape may result in a strip light or strip light accessory failure and will void the warranty.
- Disconnect power first. Cut about 4 inches of the shrink tube, and then slide it over the power cord.
- Then waterproofing the connections by applying silicone adhesive liberally into the inside and outside of the connected area. Gently press out any bubbles and make sure to wipe out excess adhesive, let it dry for 24 hours.
- Slide the heat shrink tubing over the connected area, then use a heat gun to heat up the tubing to create the seal.
- To create an authentic watertight seal, you need to further waterproof it by wrapping more tubing around connections in an overlapping spiral fashion, then use a heat gun to repeat these steps. Make sure the end cap get waterproofed too.
