Can I cut the LED Strip into shorter lengths?
I found your site searching online and I see the 16' roll of strip lights. My question is can those be cut into shorter lengths? I saw what looks like a push-on connector where the + and - marks are along the strip. I need to replace some 5' fluorescent lamps rated at 35 watts each at 6500k color temperature. There are six of these lamps in place. The ability to dim the strips is a possibly needed feature as well.
We can confirm that some of the LED strip light products that we offer contain a pre-installed barrel jack adapter, such as the ABSOLUTE SERIES™ LED Flexible Strip. Alternatively, other products, such as the CENTRIC HOME™ LED Strip Lights for Home & Residential, would require an adapter such as the Female DC Barrel Jack Plug Adapter.
When ordering a reel of the light strip, will it come with the connector to mate with the barrel plug on the power supply? On the spec sheet, I see under mechanical where it's noted as a connector on each end. So it's complete?
We're happy to confirm that the FilmGrade™ WHITE LED Strip Lights product (PN3002.65) contains pre-installed plug connectors at each end of the reel. As such, no additional connector accessories would be required for powering the product. That being said, connectors may be required for installations where the reel is segmented, as illustrated in the below layout diagram.
