To reset the light strip, locate the corded controller which is attached to the power supply of the light strip. Insert a paper clip, or a similar sized object, into the reset hole on the controller (depicted below). Using the paper clip, press and hold the reset button inside the reset hole for eight (8) seconds.
How do I reset my Smart Strip light?
Press and hold the light switch controller for 10 seconds or more and then release. The light strip animating orange and green after that indicates a successful factory reset. Then you can reconfigure your light strip on the Kasa Smart app.
How do you troubleshoot LED Strip Lights?
To troubleshoot, try the following steps: 1) Confirm that your power supply’s voltage and current rating are compatible with your LED strip. 2) Confirm that your power supply is working correctly. 3) Check and isolate other accessories on the same circuit. 4) Check for any visible loose connections.
How do you fix LED strips that won’t turn on?
Check for any visible loose connections, make sure all of your connectors and wires are in place and have not fallen out. Try tightening screws on DC adapters, and re-inserting LED strips into solderless connectors, which are common contact failure points.
Do LED strips burn out?
When they are connected correctly, smart LED strips rarely burn out. However, if too many strips are connected in series, this can lead to a circuit overload. The total resistance will be too high. This can lead to excessive heat being generated.
Why is only half of my LED light strips working?
Why? The heat from the LEDs will make the copper traces expand, then contract as they cool down to ambient temperature. So, if there is insufficient “heat sinking”, or “heat radiating” surface area to dissipate the LED heat, the weakest point will fracture with “stress cracks”.
How do you reprogram an RF remote?
Press “MUTE”, once. The device should power back on. Press and hold “ENTER” and “MUTE” until the mode buttons flash in rotation. Enter the remote code:Receiver Codes000, 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007. Press “ENTER”. The mode buttons should flash twice. Press “Guide” to confirm the code was successful.
How do you fix an LED strip lighting controller that says the wrong color?
Step 1, Make sure all part of the LED strips kit are connects right and powered. Step 3, Press the “FADE7” button ,it will flash one second. Step 4, Turn on the LED strips again, press Red, Green, blue button one by one, it will change to its original color.
Why are my LED lights the wrong color?
As established above, when LED strip lights don’t get enough cooling, they get overheated, and the diodes can change color. One of the biggest ways this can happen is poor air ventilation around the lighting setup. There is not enough space to carry away warm air and allow cooler air to circulate.
Why are my LED lights 2 different colors?
Over Heating. If LED strips are experiencing overheating, they can change colors; reputable brands have proper heat dissipation elements in their adhesive. Their adhesive has ceramic particles that can wick away heat from the strip and scatter it away from sensitive diodes.
Can you cut LED light strips and still work?
A: If the LED light strip you purchased can be cut, the remaining part that you have cut off cannot be used anymore. If you want to reconnect them after cutting, you must use an additional 4 pin connector to reconnect.
How long do LED light strips last?
LEDs have an unbelievably long expected life-span, compared to both incandescent and fluorescent lights. With an average life-expectancy of some 50,000 hours, LED strip lights will still be burning bright in 17 years’ time, long after their traditional counterparts will have expired.
Is it okay to leave LED strip lights on all night?
Yes, LED lights are ideal for leaving on for long periods of time due to their low power usage and very low heat output. They are more suited to use as a night light/ background accent light in general. 23 of 25 found this helpful.
How long do LED lights last in years?
Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours. This is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent, 20-25 times longer than a typical halogen, and 8-10 times longer than a typical CFL. Used 12 hours a day, a 50,000 bulb will last more than 11 years. Used 8 hours a day, it will last 17 years!.
Are LED lights safe for bedroom?
With all that in mind, the best answer to the question, “Is LED Light Safe?” would be: Yes, it is very safe. And that’s because the only demerit that LEDs have is that some of them emit blue light.
Why does one color on my LED lights not work?
But the answer is simply that one colour of the RGB/W LEDs is not working within that section and needs replacing. This can be caused by static-electricity damage, or bending and twisting the strip too much, or being trod on, damaged in transit, a cheap poor-quality strip, or dry solder joints.
Why are my LED lights only red blue and green?
The brain actually interprets red as some excitation on the red cone and no excitation on the green cone. Green on the other hand has equal excitation of blue and red. In other words, the primary colour model is just not quite that simple. Adding more colours will in fact produce more detectable hues to the brain.
