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
Will the red glow look even and smooth along a bedroom wall, or will I see hot spots?
Thanks to the 60 LEDs per meter density, the red light is distributed closely enough that you get a smooth, even wash along walls, ceilings, or headboards. You will not see the individual LED dots that are common on cheaper 30 LEDs/m strips.
Can I cut the strip to fit under my kitchen cabinets without buying a full roll?
Yes. The strip cuts cleanly every 3 LEDs on the marked lines, so you can trim it to the exact length of each cabinet section. This means no wasted material and a custom fit for any kitchen layout.
Does the VHB tape damage painted walls or wood surfaces when removed?
The VHB heavy duty tape holds firmly but can usually be removed without damaging most painted drywall or sealed wood. For delicate or freshly painted surfaces, test a small corner first or use additional mounting clips to avoid any risk of paint pull.
Can I use this red strip behind my TV for a home theater bias light effect?
Yes, many buyers use red LED strips behind TVs and monitors for a soft bias light that reduces eye strain and adds atmosphere. Run it off any 12V DC power supply, and you can add a PWM dimmer to fine-tune the brightness to your room.
How does the red color compare to warm white for creating a cozy bedroom mood?
Red produces a deeper, more dramatic warmth than warm white. It works beautifully for romantic settings, movie nights, or accent walls where you want a bold decorative statement rather than general illumination.
I want to add accent lighting to my staircase. Is this strip a good fit for that project?
Yes. The strip can be cut to the length of each step and mounted under the lip of each tread for an under-stair glow. The IP65 silicone also protects against dust and minor moisture, so it works well on interior staircases and landings.
Will the red light show through sheer curtains or look harsh through frosted covers?
When paired with a diffuser channel or frosted cover, the strip produces a soft, continuous line of red light with no visible LED dots. The high LED density of 60/m means the light diffuses evenly, even through thin frosted materials.
Is the strip slim enough to hide in a ceiling coving or crown molding gap?
Yes, the strip is thin and flexible, so it tucks neatly into most ceiling coves, crown molding channels, and recessed grooves. The silicone coating adds only a small amount of thickness, so it stays discreet once installed.
How does this red strip look compared to using red rope light for room decor?
Unlike bulky rope light, this flat LED strip sits flush against surfaces, bends around corners, and can be cut to exact lengths. It produces a more modern, even glow and is far easier to hide in architectural details like coves and under shelves.
Can I layer this red strip with other colored LED strips for a multi-color room design?
Yes. This is a single-color red strip, but you can run it alongside warm white, cool white, or other single-color strips in different zones of the same room. Many buyers use red as a feature accent in one area and white for general lighting in another.
Will the VHB tape stick to a textured wallpaper or fabric headboard?
VHB tape performs best on smooth, hard, non-porous surfaces. On textured wallpaper or fabric, the bond will be weaker. For those surfaces, we recommend using mounting clips or a thin mounting channel to hold the strip securely.
Can I install this strip in a rental apartment without drilling or permanent changes?
Yes. The VHB tape mounts to most surfaces without screws or nails, and the strip can be removed later with minimal residue. For a fully renter-friendly install, use removable VHB or add mounting clips that attach with command strips.
Does the red LED strip get hot enough to warp wood shelving or damage furniture finishes?
No. The 12V DC operation runs cool to the touch and produces very little heat. You can safely mount it under wood shelves, inside bookcases, and on wood paneling without worrying about heat damage to finishes.
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.
