- Can these strips stay outside in the rain?
- Yes. They carry an IP67 rating, which covers rain and dust. Keep the power adapter and connectors sheltered, since those are the usual failure points.
- Do I need the app, or does the remote work alone?
- The remote handles color, brightness and basic modes on its own. The app adds finer color picking and timers, but it is optional.
- How do I mount them on a fence?
- Use the included clips or a mounting channel. The adhesive backing alone tends to fail on outdoor surfaces, especially in heat and sun.
- Can I cut the strip to fit?
- You can cut at the marked points, but the cut end is no longer weather-sealed and needs an end cap or connector. Plan the run before cutting.
- Are these addressable or music-syncing lights?
- No. This is a standard RGB strip, so the whole run shows one color at a time. It does not chase per-LED effects or sync to music.
- Will the far end look as bright as the start?
- On very long runs the far end can look dimmer due to voltage drop. Feeding power from both ends or using a shorter run keeps brightness even.
