This LED module is a great entry-level backlight module for channel letters, halo lighting and sign lighting. A total of four 5050 SMD chips provide ample lighting with a max power requirement of 1.5W per module. Each string can be cut anywhere on the lead wires between each module. Each module has adhesive backing for easy installation.
In addition to being able to be used for sign lighting these modules are great for cove and accent lighting and for use as under-cabinet general illumination.
A constant voltage 12VDC power source is needed to power this product.
The plastic ABS shell and clear epoxy coating provides limited water-resistance to moisture. Not submersible or UV proof.
Comes in a plastic bag as one string of 10 modules that can be cut anywhere on the lead wires between each module.
In order to turn this LED strip on and off, you can use a relay board. See the User Guide for examples of how to connect the power supply and the LED strip to the relay.
