It’s easy to find waterproof LED strips for wet environments or outdoor applications, which are typically IP67 waterproof silicone tube ones. They come with silicone clips and can be mounted on walls or ceilings with screws. However, this is not very convenient, so why not add double-sided adhesive to the back? This way, you can stick them anywhere you want. Because the surface of the silicone tube is so smooth, it’s a challenge to add double-sided tape. But today we will teach you how to do it.
Why it’s hard to stick adhesive tape to silicone tubes?
The silicone tubes are so smooth that most adhesives cannot bond well. The common double-sided tape or glue often peels off after some time, especially in humid or high-temperature environments. So we need to do some special processing on them.
The method To Attach Adhesive Tape On Them
To solve this issue, please follow the steps below.
Clean the surface of the silicone tubes to which you want to attach adhesive tape. You can not use the water to clean them directly. You need the isopropyl alcohol clean bag to remove dust, oil, or residue. You can get the 3M clean bags shown in the picture below:
Apply an adhesion promoter on the surface and wait 10 minutes. We recommend 3M 94 primer.
Apply the tape. We recommend the 3M 4229P high-bond double-sided tapes.
Press firmly for around 30 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.
Wait 24 hours for maximum bonding strength before mounting.
Attaching adhesive tape to a silicone tube can be challenging, but with the right method, you can achieve a secure and long-lasting hold. You can install them in aluminum LED channels, ceilings, walls, and other areas, including wet environments or outdoors. It will make things easy.

Can you cut LED strip lights? Can we cut LED strip lights? Both questions are among the most frequently asked by our customers. Yes, most of them can be cut to your desired length, but you need to cut them from the cut points marked on the LED strips. If you cut from the wrong place will damage the circuit and the lights will not work. Below are everything you need to know.
Where You Can Cut Them?
Not everywhere on the LED tapes is safe to cut; the correct cutting points are scissor icons or copper points, usually where you can safely separate the strips.
For some mini size LED strips, you will need to take off the protector paper of doube-sided adhesive tape to reveal the copper points.
Why Cutting Points Matte
Cutting from the wrong place will sever the circuit, making the rest of strip lights unusable.
Each cutting point aligns with the tape’s electrical design, ensuring the rest LEDs work normal.
How To Cut LED Tape Lights Properly
Step 1: Locate the cutting points: Look for scissor symbols or copper dots indicating safe cut points. If you are still not sure about it, please ask your seller to confirm.
Step 2: Use the right tools: You can use sharp scissors or a utility knife to cut them down.
Step 3: Test both parts after cutting: Connect both parts to LED power suppy to ensure them work normal.
Step 4: Seal The Ends: For the waterproof versions, you can use silicone glue to seal the ends for waterproofing and protect exposed wires.
The Ways To Reconnect Cut Strip Lights
Solder Wires On Them: You can solder wires on them, need to pay attention to + and – terminals.
Use the Solderless LED Connectors: This is the easiest way to reconnect them. They are allowed to connect cut strip lights together or connect to wires. There are straight, L-shaped, and T-shaped ones available.
Frequency Questions:
Can You Cut Any LED Strips? A: Yes, most LED strips can be cut. If you are unsure, please contact your seller or us to confirm. For the waterproof or mini size ones, you need to be careful.
What Can I Do If I Cut In The Wrong Place? A: Many small sections connect together to form one long piece of LED strips. If you cut from the wrong place, you need to remove the small section. And others will work normal.
Can You Reconnect LED Strips After Cutting? A: Yes, you can solder wires on the copper dots or use our solderless LED connectors to reconnect them together or connect to a power supply or controller.
Will Cutting Lose Brightness? A: No, it will not. If you find the brightness weak at the end of the LED tapes compared to the beginning. You got the voltage drop issue. Check our article to fix it here: How To Fix Voltage Drop Issue For LED Strips?

Addressable LED strips are always the best option for creating colorful and dynamic lighting for residential or business spaces. They allow individual control of a single LED, enabling users to create dynamic lighting effects, patterns, and animations for holidays or decorations.
Recently, one of our customers talked to us about connecting LED strips up to 32 meters long without a gap for his project. Most RGBIC LED strips have 3Pin or 4Pin male and female connectors on both ends, and the standard length is only 5 meters per roll. If you connect them end to end, there is a gap between the LED strip lights.
To avoid any gap between them, we recommend removing the connectors on the ends and using transparent solderless connectors to connect them. You can do the same operations and connect them for a long line as long as you want. Like the picture below:
Before you connect the long-line addressable LED strips to the pixel controller, you must confirm that your controller supports that quantity of ICs; if it does not, you must change the controller or add an amplifier. Another problem we need to solve is voltage drop. Because the programmable LED strips have many small parts, when the electrical voltage travels through a circuit or conductor, a voltage drop occurs, which will cause the lighting to be uneven. The part close to the LED controller is brighter than the section away. To fix this issue, we recommend solder wires on the positive and negative electrodes and connecting the wires to the LED power supply, which will keep all LEDs working at the same voltage and brightness.
Follow the steps above to create a long line of colorful and dynamic linear lighting.
Learning how to calculate the power consumption of your LED strips is very important. This is related to the stability and safety of the entire system and the lifespan of the light strip. Another important factor is that if you know the power of the LED strips, you can choose the correct output LED power supply. Today let us check how to calculate it.
When you browse the details of the online store or purchase them from your local LED shop, they will show the power consumption or include it in the packing bag. see the pictures below:
Knowing the power consumption of each meter makes it easy to calculate the power consumption for the roll of LED strips. The formula is Wattage = wattage/meter * LED strips’ length.
For example, if the power of the LED strips is 8W/M and you own one roll of 5 meters of LED strips, the power composition of the roll of LED strips is 40W. If you want to use 5-roll LED strips for your project, the total power consumption is 200W.
After we know how to calculate power, we can learn to choose the correct LED power supply. Because the power supply contains many components, this will cause power loss in the power supply itself, so you cannot assume that the actual output of the power supply is the same as the wattage indicated on the power supply. There is a very important parameter that helps us choose a suitable power supply: power efficiency. See the picture below:
They are 1500W output Meanwell power supplies. For the 24V products, the power efficiency is 90%, so the actual output is 1500W*90%=1350W. You can use the same method to calculate the actual output power of the power supplies.
Conclusion: Calculating the light strip’s power consumption is necessary to select the appropriate power supply, controller, and other accessories. Now you have know how to do it, choose the correct ones for your new lighting project now.
If you do not have experience in interior decoration, adding LED strips to your ceiling or wall will be a big challenge. But it will be very easy if you know how to do it. So today, let us teach you how to do it.
What are the benefits of mounting strip lights on ceilings/walls?
Protect the LED lights: The common way to mount flexible LED strips on ceilings is to use double-sided adhesive tape or silicone clips. However, the exposed strip lights will be affected by the surrounding conditions, such as accidental bumps, spills, rain, etc., which may shorten the lifespan of the LEDs. So, if we could put them in something and keep them safe, it would extend the lifespan.
Consistent With Your Designs: Adding a light strip alone will look out of tune with the overall design, especially when the surface of the light strip has components of different colors and the light dots on the SMD light strip. So, hiding the light strip with a slot that matches your interior will make the overall design more beautiful.
Aesthetics: For a sophisticated look, hide strip lights on ceilings, walls, under cabinets, along baseboards, under shelves, etc. You can transform the space elegantly while keeping the interior design clear and gorgeous.
Anti-glare: High-density LED strip lights cause glare, making people’s eyes uncomfortable and even causing headaches. This can be fixed simply by adding a diffused cover to the LED strips.

Suspended: The suspended installation method allows you to mount the LED strips on the ceilings to create a sleek and modern look, enhancing the overall design of your space. It also can add visual interest and depth to ceilings. There are lighting slots in the aluminum LED channels; you can stick the LED strips inside and clip in the diffusers to diffuse the light evenly, reducing harsh shadows and hotspots. This installation method can be in various configurations, such as straight lines, squares, or geometric patterns, allowing creative and customized lighting solutions.
Surface Mounted: This installation method is typically easy to install, often requiring only adhesive or screws. This makes them suitable for both DIY projects and professional installations. You can choose the various shapes and sizes of LED light channels, and they can be customized to fit different design aesthetics and applications for residential and business places. The flexible LED strips can be easily stick inside; the diffusers will diffuse the lighting smoothly without dark areas. They can provide direct lighting for task lighting. The aluminum channels will protect the strip lights from dust, moisture, and physical damage to extend their lifespan. The mounting clips are include, you can mount them on surface on walls or ceilings.
Recessed: The recessed installation methods allow them to integrate with the surroundings seamlessly. By being flush with the ceiling or wall, they will create a clean, unobtrusive look, enhancing the overall design of your space without visible fixtures. Those light channels will provide uniform lighting, reducing harsh shadows and ensuring a balanced ambiance. The recessed designs will minimize direct glare, making them suitable for areas where comfort and visibility are important, especially in the residential spaces.
Mud-in: The mud-in installation is another recessed method, particularly popular in architectural designs. It is designed to be embedded into the wall or ceiling, providing a flush, clean appearance that blends seamlessly with the surrounding surfaces, making it ideal for minimalist and contemporary interiors. The mud-in LED channels can be used for various purposes, including indirect lighting, accent lighting, and general illumination, allowing creative design possibilities.
How to hide LED strips using aluminum channels:
