Product Information

How to install LED strip lights in the kitchen? LED strip lights look most effective when the strip is hidden away and only the light shows through. This could be underneath shelves, cabinets or worktops for maximum effect. There are still some issues you can run into now and then when installing the units yourself for the first time.

Take your connecting wires and cut them to the length you require leaving approximately half an inch extra on each end. This extra length is so you can strip the casing off the ends of the wire, ready to connect to the LED strip. Using a dimmer switch can also cause your smart lights to behave like this. If the lights are not compatible with the dimmer, then you can’t make use of these systems with the dimmer switch. How do you connect two or multiple LED strip lights together? One way to connect different strips together is to solder them with wires. They are designed to make this process as easy as possible. How to connect LED strip lights to the battery? You can connect to a battery by a driver installed between the LED strip lights and the power source. Make sure the polarity of the wires matches the battery for a complete connection.First of all, you should open up your Alexa app and go to the skill options. From there, you should remove the TCP smart skill and reboot your mobile phone once. How to install LED strip lights inside cabinets or shelves? Most cabinets or shelves in the kitchen are already intended from the edge of the worktop surface. This means you can place the strips under this edge to install the lights. If you are putting them inside a cabinet, you may want to look at flexible connectors that will wrap the wiring around corners. One of the best things about LED strip lighting is that you do not have to be an electrician to install them. You can find starter kits that will provide you with everything you need to make the process as easy as possible. Always plan before you get started. Make sure the LED strips are the right length for the space and that you can reach your power source easily.

So, to narrow down on these errors, just reach out to a professional. He will take care of the power connections for you, and you won’t have to get through this error yourself. You need to make sure that it matches the requirements mentioned in the user manual. Otherwise, you will keep running into similar issues. Make sure to follow their instructions step by step to maximize your chances of overcoming this problem.Reheat the puddles you made previously on the LED strip and hold the wire in place until it solidifies. The most common issue that users have mentioned while using the TCP lights is that they’re not able to get the smart lights connected to the Home Network. The heater runs in this way instead of turning off to avoid any risk of the heater accidentally being left on in Auto mode when the leaving the home because it looked to be turned off.

However, if the lights are damaged, and you’re not sure about the hardware, then claim the warranty immediately. The warranty is valid for 12 months, and you can seek help from professionals to get a new one. LED strip lights are designed to make cutting easy, so all you will need is a pair of scissors. Either follow the cutting line (that sometimes also has a scissor icon on it) or cut between the pair of copper dots that show up at the end of each LED unit. Cutting anywhere else will potentially damage the circuitry and render your reel of lights useless. There is simply no point in wasting your time with a defective device, and you’ll be able to grab a fresh piece by seeking help from professionals.If the lights do connect at this stage, you will know that the problem was with the 5.0 GHz band. From there, you can simply change the credentials for the 5.0 GHz network. However, if you’re not sure about the power connections in your home and don’t get them serviced every season, then now might be a good time to call an expert. How to connect the remote to LED strip lights? If your LED strip lights can be remote-controlled, the strips will need to be connected using a receiver between the LED tape and the driver. This will mean you can change colour temperatures or RGB colours with a remote or phone app. LED Pro Line Strip Luminaire – 8′, 65W, 40K SKU: PSP8UZDA840K View Details View Spec Sheet Read more Full control of the lights is through the app. As with other TCP products, such as the Smart WiFi Plug, there’s a choice of two apps: the TCP app or SmartLife. This is because the underlying technology is based on SmartLife. I prefer to use the SmartLife app, as I can combine devices from different manufacturers into one place. In both cases, the control and interface are the same.
