Inspired LED 101: How to Cut LED Flex

 One of the most important benefits of bendy LED tape over inflexible panels is the potential to reduce these strips to customized lengths. When mixed with Inspired LED’s patented solderless Tiger Paw® connectors, this makes for a handy lights solution which can be without difficulty adjusted in the field. To get the most out of your LED strips, observe these easy steps when slicing to length…

Step 1: Measure the required size of your bendy LED strip. For underneath cupboard applications, we endorse subtracting about 1 ½” on every side, or 3” in full from the whole accessible area to make room for quit connectors. For example, if the complete accessible house beneath your cupboard is 36”, we would endorse buying a 33” strip of LEDs.Step 2: Identify the closest “cut point” to your favored measurement. These can be recognized by using two copper ovals (called solder pads), placed each three LEDs on Normal, Super, or Ultra bright, and each 6 LEDs on Mega shiny strips.Step 3: Using a sharp pair of scissors, reduce the strip to size alongside the copper solder pads only. Failure to reduce in the appropriate region will purpose some of the LEDs in collection to fail, and will make it hard to make connections with Tiger Paws®.Step 4: If you are reducing a strip which already has an quit connector on one facet (trimming to length) then you may additionally cease here. There is no want to terminate the naked ends of LED flex except you want to make a connection.Step 5: If you do want to add a connector, observe the steps on the specification sheet covered with your solderless Tiger Paws®, or, if you are available with a soldering iron, you can make your wire connections directly.Step 6: In both case, be positive to become aware of the suitable polarity, as marked alongside the LED strip, earlier than making your connections.

With all your LED strips reduce to the proper lengths, you are now equipped to create the ideal customized LED gadget for your space!
