4. Cut LED Strip Light to Required Length
If you need to cut your LED strip light, first measure the length needed and only cut along the indicated cut marks with sharp
scissors. Make sure that you cut straight along the strip’s cut point to ensure a proper seal if using end caps or connectors. As
a reminder, cutting the strip does void the IP67 nature of the strip as customer modifications cannot be guaranteed an IP rating.
When installing separate segments of the LED strip together by soldering or using connectors, always make sure the polarity
is matched from one strip to the next.
5. Make Sure Polarity is Matched Throughout the Setup
• If you are going to solder to the strip take a utility knife and carefully cut away enough of the silicone sheath to expose the
solder pads.
• For the front caps, cut 3 mm off the silicone cover. Grab the front cap and slide it through the wire. Then, solder the wire
to the solder pads on the strip. Fill the front cap with silicone and make sure it is properly adjusted before letting the sealant
cure according to its instructions.
• When using the end caps, repeat the last step.
6. If You Want to Solder
If you don’t want to solder the strip, you can also use IP65 connectors, sold separately. Carefully peel off 2” of the adhesive
tape and its backer from the back of the LED strip light and push it back to make room for the connector. This will allow the
silicone to seal properly and ensure that water is not pulled into the seal.
