A driverless LED strip light is a type of LED light strip that does not require an external driver to operate. Instead, the circuitry that powers the LED light is built into the strip itself. This makes driverless LED strip lights much easier to install and can reduce the overall cost of a lighting system.
While not all LED strip lights are created equal but high-quality strips are designed to last and can be left on 24/7. The reason why it is possible to leave LED strip lights running consistently, unlike other conventional types of lighting, is that LEDs produce minimal amounts of heat, meaning they are very unlikely to overheat or catch fire.
These LED chips are designated "SMD 5050" because the dimensions of the chip are 5mm x 5mm. SMDs (surface-mounted diodes) are mounted directly to a light strip without the use of wires and are brighter than other chip types because they are comprised of 3 LED diodes within a single housing.
LED strip lights are made with versatility in mind and can certainly be cut. Although cutting intervals vary by manufacturer, there will always be indication marks or copper connection points on the strip that designate where it is safe to cut. For Lumilum LED light strips, our 120V models can be easily cut every 12 inches / 1 foot at the marked points.
