How to cut the LED strip correctly
Title: Svetlinna LED strip 
LED tape Widely used for good lightening and backlighting. They produce different voltages from 12 V to 220 V, although the most frequently crossed voltage is 12V. Manufacturers, including Apeyron Electrics, which have their own production base, produce all rolls with a length of 5 meters. Therefore, if you use it, you will cut it into parquet with the necessary length.

Protect yourself and cut off the ribbon
The size of the ribbon on the brocade is determined by the size of the tape on the lightly installed. The desired brightness was achieved through the selection of the type of device (size on the LED, tech broy).
Therefore, prior to installation, the roll-cut is laid on the parquet with the necessary length, which is the connection of the conductor for the connection.

Can LED tape be any less common?
Device with LED strip
LED Tape Tape PCB. According to it, two conductive tapes are supposed to be used, and for RGB devices - four conductive tapes (there are no tapes on RGBW), between the LEDs. In devices, connected to a 12 V network, those are combined in a group of three diodes and a current limit.
They cast on the diode depending on the voltage being stored and how the voltage is stored in a high way - 24, 110 or 220 V, then in the group Ima more LEDs.
In places where it can be rolled less often, run the ribbons and the contact of the substrate behind the conductors.Ima and designations on the locality on the cut - a dotted line or a knife.
How to cut a common 12V LED strip

zone behind tie on tape
On a 12V LED tape, diode sa thin in groups of three. Between every group, there is a dot on the presichan, marked with an icon.
Here, maybe, yes, there is a parquet. Ako cut on a random principle, nay - close to the torn LEDs and yama and light and yama and ima measto for the connection to the conductive layer. In case of more trembling and shorten the tape and cut off the damaged area.
Cut the ribbon with a sharp knife or scissors
How to properly cut the colored (RGB) LED strip
Device RGB tape like an ordinary tape. The main difference is e, which is the name of the four bands. Symbolize those markings with "R", "G", "B" and "-". Again, in contrast to the conventional tape, place the swab on the marking with "+" and "-".
You can even cut through the beginnings of the kato obiknoven monochrome - in dots on the scarred, the icon is poked from the answer.
Osven RGB devices, ima RGBW, with pet conductive ribbons and LEDs in four colors - red, green, blue and blue. Razryazvat se on the beginnings of kato obiknovenite monochrome.
Hydro isolation

Waterproof tape
Apply a layer of silicone on top of the LED tape to increase the water resistance, burn it out or away from the other side, the same one is somehow ordinary. The device from Tosi design with LEDs is not distinguishable from ordinary.
The main difficulty is that when ryazan silicone does not stop the operation on the pelvis, the operation is exactly on the medium on the contact substrate. This is for goodness sake, but send Comrade not with a knife, but with a sharp knife:
- cut the top layer of silicone on the foreseen area;
- cut the samata tape;
- cut off the silicone layer.
You will cut off the brocade from the desired length, tryabva and cut off the edges on the ribbon for soldering or tying to the connector. Tova be right with a knife. For zapoyavane on zhitsat it is enough and you will miss the silicone itself from the fire. For yes, you’ll screw with the connector, add a layer of silicones, it’s shaking and it will be broken.
Razryazvane on LED tape for repair
By the time it takes to work, one from the diode can damage it. Another thing is that it’s a group and it’s extinguished - three into the device, designed for 12 V or more, into devices that connect to different voltages. For repairs, it is necessary to cut the damaged area and yes, I will replace it with a good one. This tape is torn in place on the wreck until the LEDs are not working.
Ako yama markings
As soon as the marking is on the area of the cut, then right between the adjacent contacts of the substrate or in the middle of the object, it must be passed on to the conductive layer.
The pelvis is the area of the view, which is a continuation of the tape, is located on the fish on the tape and the trap and the top of the ribs of the tape, which is on the device.
These arrangements are one to the other, presenting LEDs.
Get it right LED tape
You can also cut the sections with the help of solder or connectors.
Connect and allow you to connect the conductors to the area on the installed site, somehow and even repair without dismantling.
Soldering conductors with a cross section of up to 0.5 mm2 are required.
For good, yes, choose a soldering iron with a power of up to 25 watts. Help them, they can warm up the substrate and they will loosen it from the foundation.
Important! Zapoyavaneto with jelly is taken away!
Solder the conductors with a heat-sealed pipe.
If carefully trimmed, the LED strip may be included in the merge and shine brighter and last longer.
