Question

Can these be dimmed? Also, do you recommend a method to attach the strip to fabric? Possibly a glue? Thanks! - by George

Yes they can be dimmed. Can't say we know the best method to attach to fabric. A glue would likely be your best bet. Perhaps ask a fabric store - they'd know better than us.

Question

Can they be adapted for battery use? If so what type, and how many, batteries per 12" strip. If I connect 2 or 3 strips does battery use change? Can you supply, or instruct how to, use batteries? - by John (Malvern, PA USA)

Answer

Yes, this product is made to be used with a car battery. However, it can be used with a smaller battery if you'd like. The battery will need to be 12V and the amp. hours will dictate how long the strip will stay illuminated before the battery runs dry.

To connect them to a battery you will simply connect the positive and negative wires from the LED strip to the positive and negative terminals on the 12V battery.

Question

Question

can you cut these and make, say, 2 six inch pieces? - by Andrew (Mishawaka, IN)
