Cutting the tape light (optional)
IMPORTANT:
Make sure to observe polarity when making connections, positive to positive and negative to negative.
Check to see that the wire colors and the polarity markings printed on the tape line up.
□
This tape light can be cut every three LEDs at 5 cm intervals (approx. 2”).
□
To use the included LED snap connectors (AA, BB), cut the LED tape with scissors in the center of a copper
pad (position A) as shown.
□
The tape can also be cut at silver solder joints (position B), but this cut point should be used for soldered
connections only.
