LED lighting is a great way to light up your home or business. However, there are some problems with LED strip lighting that you may not know about. Knowing about these problems will help you to avoid some expensive problems in the future.
One of the most common problems with LED strip lighting is that it is not waterproof. If you are planning on using your LED strip lighting outdoors, you will want to make sure that you have some protection against water damage.
LED strips are usually made from plastic, and they will melt if exposed to temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You should not use your LED strip lighting in areas that are too hot or too cold.
Common Problems With LED Strip Lighting
Here are some common problems that people may encounter when using LED strip lighting:
Lights not turning on
This could be caused by a variety of issues, such as a blown fuse, a damaged power supply, or a faulty connection.
Lights not turning off
If the lights are not turning off, it could be due to a problem with the dimmer switch or a malfunctioning power supply.
Flickering lights
Flickering lights could be caused by a variety of issues, such as a poor connection, a damaged power supply, or a problem with the dimmer switch.
Dim or faded lights
This could be caused by a low-quality power supply, a problem with the dimmer switch, or a faulty connection.
Strip lighting not sticking
If the LED strip lighting is not sticking to the surface, it could be due to a dirty or uneven surface, or it could be that the adhesive backing on the strips is not strong enough.
Strip lighting falling off
This could be caused by a faulty connection, a problem with the adhesive backing on the strips, or the strips being installed in an area with excessive heat or humidity.
Discolored lights
This could be caused by a problem with the power supply, a faulty connection, or a problem with the dimmer switch.
Strip lighting not syncing with music
If you are using a music-syncing feature with your LED strip lighting and it is not working properly, it could be due to a problem with the power supply, a faulty connection, or a problem with the music-syncing controller.
