3. Safety Guidelines for COB Neon Rope Lights

⚠️ Critical Tips:

  • Cut only at marked intervals to avoid electrical hazards.

  • Unroll fully before powering to prevent overheating.
  • Do not exceed 50% load per power feed to avoid overload.

 

4. Step-by-Step Installation Guide

How to Cut COB LED Neon Rope Lights?

  1. Turn off power at the source.
  2. Use sharp scissors to cut strictly at 1.7-inch marks.
  3. Seal cut ends with waterproof end caps.
  4. Test the lights before permanent installation.

Note: Cutting voids ETL certification. Proceed only if necessary.

Powering & Splicing Instructions

  1. Connect to Power:
    • Insert the strip into the weld-free buckle until copper pins pierce the circuit.
    • Secure with end caps and test functionality.
  2. Join Two Strips:
    • Use splice connectors to align polarity (+/-).
    • Seal joints with heat shrink tubing for durability.

Waterproofing Connections

  1. Apply silicone adhesive to exposed wires.
  2. Slide heat shrink tubing over joints and seal with a heat gun.
  3. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure.

 

5. Troubleshooting COB LED Neon Rope Lights

Issue Solution
Lights Not Turning On Verify 120V outlet and check polarity alignment.
Dark Sections Re-secure loose connections or replace damaged segments.
Flickering Ensure dimmer compatibility and a stable power supply.
Water Damage Reapply silicone sealant to compromised joints.
