Product Information
【VHB Foam Back Tape】 Based on buyers’ feedback on adhesive issue, we upgraded the tape to VHB heavy duty foam mounting tape. It is much more sticky and durable than blue or white tapes which is widely used by other brands. Never fall off. ( Heating the tape with heat gun or hair dryer will make it more sticky.) 【Super Quality LED Strip】 300 pcs high-brightness 5050 Red LEDs are evenly embedded on the 5m(16.4ft) double-layer pure copper FPCB Board and give out beautiful red light. High-density 60 LEDs/M design makes luminescence more even and natural. Low voltage 12V DC input, safe to use, touchable to children. 【Flexible Design & Cut freely】 Using flexible copper circuit board, you can gently bend it to an arc. Please NEVER rudely bend it to right or acute angle, otherwise the circuit board and silicone coating will crack. The strip lights can be cut between every 3 LEDs along along the cutting marks to fit for your project, great for DIY. 【Two different power input ends】One end has 2pin wire, you can screw it to the positive and negative terminals of 12V power supply. The other end has 5.5x2.1mm female DC connector. If your 12V power supply has 5.5x2.1mm male DC connector, just plug and work. The power supply is not included. 【Indoor and Outdoor Use】The LED strip is coated with clear silicone, up to IP65 waterproof rate. It can be used to beautify both indoor and outdoor lighting scenes, such as backyard, deck, boat, living room, bedroom, kitchen, ceiling, stairs etc. 24 months free warranty. We always stand behind our products. 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭: Please note that if used with vehicles such as cars, RVs, trucks, etc., please ensure that the power supply provides a stable voltage; if used for a long time at more than 12V, the circuit board will be damaged, resulting in abnormal conditions. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞: It is recommended to use our 12V 5A 60W power supply(ASIN: B01GEA8PQA). Many power supply labels on the market are false and the power is not as high as claimed. If the power supply is overloaded, the DC connector will become hot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this red LED strip safe to leave on overnight in a child's bedroom?
Yes. The strip runs on 12V DC, which is safe to touch and far below the threshold that poses any electrical hazard. It also produces very little heat, so it can safely stay on through the night without fire risk.
Can I use this strip around my pets without worrying about burns or toxic fumes?
Yes. The strip runs cool to the touch, so curious dogs, cats, and other pets will not get burned by touching it. It also produces no smoke, fumes, or open flame, making it a pet-safe alternative to candles and oil burners.
Does this strip get hot like old-fashioned incandescent rope light?
No. The 5050 SMD LEDs are highly efficient and run cool even after hours of use. You can mount it under shelves, near bedding, or inside enclosed spaces without heat buildup.
Is the 12V DC power safe to touch if a child pulls on the strip?
Yes. 12V DC is well below the safety threshold for human contact. Even if a child pulls the strip off the wall, the exposed wiring operates at a voltage that is touch-safe and will not cause a shock.
Can I use this strip in a nursery instead of a night light?
Yes. Many parents use red or warm LED strips as a soft nursery night light. Add a 12V DC-compatible dimmer to adjust the brightness low for sleep, and you have a calm, flame-free night light solution.
How does this LED strip compare to a candle in terms of fire safety?
Unlike an open-flame candle, this LED strip has no flame, no hot wax, and no smoke. It can be used near curtains, bedding, and wood surfaces without igniting anything, making it a much safer option for ambient lighting.
Will the strip overheat or pose a fire risk if I leave it on 24/7?
No. The 12V DC operation and efficient 5050 LEDs run cool even during extended use. The double-layer copper FPCB also helps dissipate heat, so there is no fire risk from leaving the strip on continuously.
Is this a good replacement for candles if I have asthma or breathing sensitivities?
Yes. Since the strip produces no smoke, no fragrance, and no combustion byproducts, it is an excellent alternative to scented candles for anyone with asthma, allergies, or chemical sensitivities.
What happens if the strip gets wet in a bathroom or kitchen — is it still safe?
The IP65 silicone coating makes the strip safe to use around splashes and steam. Just make sure the 12V power supply and DC connector are kept away from standing water to maintain electrical safety.
How does this strip compare to plug-in LED strip lights in terms of safety?
Both are safe when used correctly, but this 12V DC strip is touch-safe and runs cooler than many 120V plug-in LED products. The lower voltage makes it a more reassuring choice for kids' rooms, pet areas, and tight spaces.
I'm worried about my elderly parent tripping over cords. Is the strip safer than a lamp?
Yes. The strip lies flat against walls, ceilings, or under shelves, and the low-voltage wiring is thin and discreet. This reduces the trip hazards and tip-over risks that come with floor or table lamps.
Will the VHB tape fail in hot weather and cause the strip to fall on someone?
The upgraded VHB heavy duty tape is heat-resistant and holds firm in normal indoor and outdoor temperatures. Once fully bonded after 24 hours, it will not release from a clean, smooth surface even in warm conditions.
Is the silicone coating safe if a child or pet puts it in their mouth?
The silicone is non-toxic and inert, but the strip is not a toy and should be mounted out of reach of small children and pets who like to chew. The real safety benefit is that it runs cool and at a touch-safe voltage, even if briefly touched.
How do I install this red LED strip on a wall or under a cabinet?
Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry. Peel the backing off the VHB tape, press the strip firmly along the entire length, and hold for 30 seconds. Wait 24 hours for the tape to reach full bond strength before applying any stress to the strip.
Where exactly can I cut the strip without damaging it?
Cut only on the clearly marked copper pads every 3 LEDs. Cutting anywhere else will break the circuit and the remaining section will not light up. Scissors or a sharp blade work well for a clean cut.
Do I need a special controller or remote to use this strip?
No controller is required. The strip lights up as soon as it is connected to a 12V DC power source. If you want dimming, you can add a 12V DC-compatible PWM dimmer or controller between the power supply and the strip.
Will this strip work with my existing 12V power supply?
Yes, as long as your power supply is 12V DC and rated for at least 2A, it will work. The strip includes both 2pin wire leads and a 5.5x2.1mm female DC connector, so it plugs into most standard 12V adapters and battery packs.
Is this strip compatible with a standard LED dimmer from a hardware store?
It is compatible with any 12V DC PWM dimmer or controller. Standard 120V AC wall dimmers will not work because the strip operates on low-voltage DC. Make sure the dimmer matches the 12V DC specification of the strip.
What is included in the box, and what do I need to buy separately?
The box includes one 16.4ft / 5m red LED strip reel with VHB tape backing and dual power input ends. A 12V DC power supply is not included and must be purchased separately. You will also need a 12V DC PWM dimmer if you want dimming control.
Is this strip safe to use around water, like in a bathroom or on a boat?
Yes, the IP65 silicone coating protects against splashes, steam, and rain. The strip can be used in bathrooms, on boat decks, and outdoors. The DC connector and power supply should be kept dry or enclosed in a weatherproof housing for safety.
How long will this LED strip last before the LEDs start to dim or fail?
The 5050 SMD LEDs are rated for tens of thousands of hours of use, which translates to many years of typical daily operation. The double-layer copper FPCB board and silicone coating also help protect the strip from heat and moisture damage over time.
What is the difference between an LED strip and LED rope light?
An LED strip is a flat, flexible circuit board with surface-mounted LEDs, while LED rope light is a thicker, cylindrical tube with LEDs inside. Strips are easier to cut, mount flush against surfaces, and hide in architectural details. Rope light is bulkier and more visible.
