Frequently Asked Questions

How bright is this LED strip?

UVTaoYuan rates the strip at up to 800 lumens across its 3.28FT length, produced by 320 COB LEDs at 6500K pure white.

Can I dim it or turn it off without unplugging?

No. This strip is not dimmable and ships with no inline switch. It runs at full brightness whenever it is plugged in, so you unplug it or use a switched USB port or outlet to shut it off.

Why does my strip flicker?

Insufficient power. UVTaoYuan specifies a 10W 5V 2.1A power supply; the strip flickers and the USB head can overheat when the port cannot deliver that current. Move it to a 2.1A wall adapter or powered hub.

Will it stick to my cabinet or shelf without extra hardware?

Yes. The strip is flexible and has adhesive backing for direct attachment to a clean, flat surface. No brackets or channels are included or required.

How long does it last?
