- Does it need a controller?
- Yes. The strip has both warm and cool white channels, so you need a CCT controller to blend them and to dim. A plain 5V supply alone gives only one fixed tone.
- Can I use it outdoors?
- No. It is rated IP30, which means no protection against water or dust ingress. Keep it indoors and away from moisture.
- How do I power it?
- It runs on 5V DC over USB, so a phone charger, power bank or TV USB port works. Check the current rating of the source for longer runs.
- Can I cut it to length?
- Yes, at the marked cut points. Cutting elsewhere breaks the circuit, and the cut end needs a connector or soldering.
- Is it bright enough as main room lighting?
- No. At 5V it is best for accent, shelf and backlighting. For room lighting, higher-voltage strips are the better fit.
- What is in the box?
- The strip itself plus mounting clips. A controller, power supply and connectors are not included.
