Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What power supply do I need for rigid led strip?
A: Choose a power supply matching your strip's voltage (12V/24V/48V) with wattage at least 20% higher than the strip's total power consumption. For example, a 5m 14.4W/m strip needs at least 72W + 20% = 86.4W, so a 100W power supply is recommended.
Q: Are rigid led strip dimmable?
A: Yes, rigid led strip support multiple dimming methods including 0-10V, PWM, TRIAC, and DALI when used with compatible dimmers and drivers. COB strips dim especially smoothly due to their uniform light output.
Q: Can rigid led strip be cut to custom lengths?
A: Yes, most rigid led strip can be cut at designated cut points (typically every 5cm or 10cm). Always cut at the marked copper pads and solder or use connectors for reliable connections. COB strips offer mini-cut options with 2.5mm cut intervals.
Q: What certifications do your rigid led strip have?
A: All Arraystar LED rigid led strip are CE, RoHS, and ERP certified. We also offer LM-80 tested LEDs, IEC reports, and can provide custom certification support for specific market requirements.
Q: What is the lifespan of rigid led strip?
A: Quality rigid led strip from Arraystar LED have a rated lifespan of 50,000+ hours. Actual lifespan depends on operating temperature, current, and environmental conditions. We offer 3-year warranty on all products.
