How to Cut LED Strip Lights - Locate the Cut Marks

Only cut at the designated points marked on the strip. Cutting elsewhere will cause dead spots.

Cut points are indicated every 50mm, marked with a small black line. (see below)

What Happens After You Cut?

Each half of the strip remains fully functional if cut correctly. For example, if you start with a 3-metre strip and cut it at the 1.5-metre mark, both resulting pieces can still be used as they each have a connector attached.
