Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does the hand sweep sensor LED strip light work?

A: The sensor detects the motion of your hand passing within 2–5 cm. A simple wave activates or deactivates the LED strip, making it a completely touchless lighting solution — great for busy kitchens or anywhere you want hands-free control.

Q: What do I need to power the USB LED strip light?

A: Any standard USB power source will work — a USB wall adapter (5V), a laptop USB port, a smart TV USB port, or even a power bank. No special wiring or electrician is required.

Q: Is this LED strip suitable for use near water or in a kitchen?

A: Yes. The strip features a waterproof design, making it splash-resistant and suitable for under-cabinet kitchen lighting, bathroom vanities, and other areas where moisture may be present.

Q: Can I cut the LED strip to fit a shorter space?

A: SMD 2835 LED strips are typically cuttable at marked intervals (every few LEDs). Check the strip for cut markers — cutting at these points will not damage the remaining section of the strip.
