Whether the flexible LED light strip can continue to work normally after being cut is actually determined by the specific design structure of the light strip itself and the actual cutting operation method.
First, the setting of the cutting point of the flexible LED light strip. Many flexible LED light strips have fully considered the user's need to cut it into a customized length that meets their own needs at the beginning of product design. This type of light strip will deliberately set specific cutting points on its surface. These cutting points usually have a more obvious identification method, generally marked by two copper oval pads, and they will appear according to a certain pattern, that is, such a cutting point will be set every certain number of LED lamp beads. When we strictly cut the light strip according to these pre-set designated cutting points, we can effectively ensure that the remaining part of the light strip after being cut can still maintain normal working conditions, so that it can continue to play functions such as lighting.
Secondly, the characteristics of the flexible LED light strip in parallel connection. Some flexible LED light strips use parallel connection in circuit design. This connection method gives the light strip a significant advantage, that is, even if a certain section of the light strip is cut, the other uncut parts can still work normally independently. However, the premise of all this is that the cutting operation must occur at the correct position that meets the design requirements. Only in this way can we ensure that after a part of the light strip is cut, the circuit system of the entire light strip will not be completely paralyzed, thereby ensuring that its functionality is not greatly affected.
Finally, we should emphasize the post-cutting processing link. After completing the cutting operation of the flexible LED light strip, we must pay special attention to the condition of the electrode at the cutting point to ensure that it is not damaged in any way. At the same time, the exposed end after cutting also needs to be properly processed to prevent the occurrence of adverse conditions such as short circuit or leakage. In the actual operation process, if necessary, we can use the connector or welding to restore the continuity of the circuit at the cut point to ensure that the circuit of the entire light strip can be smoothly connected, thereby ensuring that the light strip can work normally.
Only when the flexible LED light strip is cut strictly according to its design specifications at the pre-specified cutting point, and the cut ends are properly handled after cutting, can the cut light strip continue to work normally. On the contrary, if the cutting operation is not performed at the specified cutting point, or the end is not handled properly after cutting, it is very likely that the light strip will not work properly after being cut.
