Q: Can I cut the LEDTask Standard Output Flexible Ribbon and LEDTask High Output Flexible Ribbon to fit?
A: You can cut the Flexible Ribbon every 2-inches on the clearly marked 'cut lines', except where there is a solder termination.
Q: I have (3) three separate 30-inch runs of LEDTask Standard Output Flexible Ribbon. Can I connect them so they all operate from the same wall switch?
A: Yes, you can connect them by using our 'LTC Series' Ribbon to Ribbon Connectors.
Q: I have wired (3) three separate 30-inch runs of LEDTask Standard Output Flexible Ribbon using 'LTC' Ribbon to Ribbon Connectors. The center run of Flexible Ribbon will not light.
A: This is a common problem that occurs when the polarity is reversed. We suggest that you double check your connections to make sure the (+) positive is connected to the (+) positive, and the negative (-) is connected to the (-) negative.
Q: Can I use the LEDTask Standard Output Flexible Wet Location Ribbon to light my swimming pool, spa or fountain?
A: You can use the Wet Location Ribbon outdoors, but you cannot submerge the ribbon underwater.
Q: Can you adhere the silicone jacket of the LTR300WP-SO Ribbon to the underside of a granite counter top using glue? What is suggested in an outdoor kitchen application?
A: I suggest using Clear Silicone Sealant/Caulk. You can find it an any Home Deport or similar home center. Generally the underside of granite is not polished, so it should stick well; but if it is polished you should remove the sheen first by sanding. Next clean the area and apply a nice bead of the Silicone; don’t be shy! Have some masking tape ready...after the bead sets up for a bit press the ribbon into it and wipe away the excess. Add the masking tape to help secure the ribbon until the silicone sets up. After a day; remove the tape and you are ready to go!
