So, in fact, there is nothing difficult in cutting a piece of conductor. As a rule, the places of cut are designated by the manufacturer every 3 LEDs( step 5-10 cm), which is clearly visible in the picture below:
All you need to do is take sharp scissors and draw clearly along the marked line. Be careful and cut strictly to the point that we do not damage the LED strip.
We draw your attention to the fact that cutting off the LEDs is only necessary in the disconnected state! Work under voltage, as shown in the video below, is not recommended, becauseif you accidentally cause a short circuit, both the tape and the power supply can burn!
Correctly cut LED conductor as follows:
We also want to provide you with photos that show how the place of the cutting of the LED tape from different manufacturers( for example, Jazzway or Apeyron) can look:
It should also be noted that sometimes manufacturers do not mark the line on which it is necessary to cut with the scissors icon. In this case, you must cut the material by setting the blade of the scissors between two pairs of adjacent connection points, as shown in the very first picture in the article.
That's all I wanted to tell you about how to cut the LED ribbon. We hope that now you know how far to cut and how to do it correctly, so as not to damage the power supply!
