Ultra-Flexible Tri-Chip LED Strip - 12V Ready - Plug and Play LEDs!

All Customer Questions

Question

I know that the ribbon appears to be able to bend from front to back very easily, but is there any up/down flexibility at all? The application I want to use these for is flat, but makes a wedge shape at the bottom. Would these have enough give to contour to the wedge, or would the flexible led strips be more suited to my application?

Answer

There is a little, but not too much.

Question

I will be using glass radiator hoses made by Killerglass which you have done business with and was wondering if the adhesive is on the back of the strips, how did you get them to run along the bottom side of the radiator hose with the LED's facing up? - by Kevin (Winnipeg, Manitoba, )

Answer

You wouldn't be able to use the adhesive on the bottom for that application. You'd have to rig up something else. Possible solutions: attach the strip to something under the Killer Glass, use a similar double-sided tape and put it in places in between the LEDs so it doesn't block any light.

Question

Can these be mounted in the engine bay, and what is the temperature rating of the strips? I will be showing off the engine bay of my car and want to know if there are any areas to avoid because of heat. - by Kevin (Winnipeg, Manitoba, )

Answer

The temperature rating has not been tested. However as long as the strips are not mounted to anything that gets too hot (like exhaust manifolds or radiators), it should be just fine. Many customers have used various flexible LED strips in their engine bays with great results.

Question

If I cut the ends, can I add strips in series so that I can have a 3' continuous strip? I have excellent soldering skills. - by Jeff (Austin, TX)

Answer

Yes. You may also want to consider our Pre-wired Waterproof Ribbon LED Strips which are already available in a pre-wired 3 foot section.

Question

From the center of each LED, the distance between each LED is 1.3 inches.

Question

Question

Do these ribbons get cut every 3 LEDs like the LED strips, or can they be cut after any LED I choose? - by Jason (Houma, LA)

Question

Question

can i run these off of your 12V Dimmer and Strobe Remote Switch - Plug & Play? - by Joe

Answer

Yes

Question

If you order 4 separate strips is there any way to interconnect them besides splicing the 1ft wire leads together? - by Fernando (Orange County CA.)

Answer

Not at this time. Any connector we could use would destroy the extremely thin and small footprint of this strip. Thanks for understanding!

Question

Does the yellow strip emit a yellow glow or amber? if amber, which of the colors will be closest to yellow?

Answer

Warm White would be the closest natural 'yellow' color, but it will not be a day cast yellow, but a warm one. The 'Yellow' , like most other LEDs is more of a pumpkin amber, as seen in the 'More Photos' section - Regardless of the color, they are sure to impress. Looking forward to your order!

Question

If i want 4ft do I just put in 4 as the qty. when added to my cart. Will it come as a complete 4ft long strip or would it be 4 separate 1ft long strips? - by Fernando (Orange County CA.)

Answer

Good question! When you order a quantity of 4, you will receive 4 separate 1ft strips.

Question

Can you cut these like your ribbon leds and re-solder new leads?? Looks like there is a 12v+, Red Green, and Blue connection. - by Travis (Eagle, ID)

Answer

Yes.

Question

Will the lighting be evenly in all direction (180 degree)? - by Michael (Tacoma, WA)

Answer

The angle is closer to 110 to 130 degrees.

Question

How is it plug and play can you show pictures?

Answer

More pictures will be coming soon.
The plug in application is 2 wires, positive and negative that will hook directly up to a 12V source. You may also use our AC Adapters to allow you to plug into a standard 110V outlet.

Question

Exactly how long are these? I didn't see anything in the description. - by Austin (Mineral Wells, TX)

Answer

They are sold in 1-foot increments.

With 9 perfectly spaced LEDs per foot, you can be sure to get that even light spread we all desire, even when mounted close to another surface. These over-sized LED modules throw a wide spread angle of light, which always is pleasing for ambient lighting purposes.
