| Q1 |
What is the operating temperature range of LED Flexible Light (LED) ? |
| A1 |
It must be used in the range of -10‹C`40‹C to maintain its performance |
| |
|
| Q2 |
How long does LED Flexible Light last ? Will the bulbs ever fail ? |
| A2 |
LED Flexible Light employs LEDs with super high brightness and long life. The lives of LEDs are expressed as half-life of brightness. A red LED has a half-life of about 50,000 hours (about 5 years if lit 24 hours/day). Although bulbs are strictly inspected at the time of shipment, there is a possibility that they could fail after installation. If a bulb fails, the corresponding LED cannot light, but other LEDs stay lit. If a bulb fails in a unit of LED Flexible Light, that whole unit needs to be replaced. It is not possible to replace only the dead LED bulb. |

| Q3 |
Does LED Flexible Light have high weather resistance ? |
| A3 |
The casing (LED cover) is made of silicone rubber, which has excellent weather resistance and will not easily discolor or fade due to weathering. |
| |
|
| Q4 |
How much power does LED Flexible Light consume? Is the power consumption lower than that of neon ? |
| A4 |
The power consumption of LED Flexible Light FL-10 (96-bulb type) is about 6W.
This is about one-third that of a neon tube (30W) when a length of 1600mm is lit using an inverter neon transformer |

|
| Q5 |
Are there any hazard-related problems, or is there any risk of violating the Product Liability Law ? |
| A5 |
LED Flexible Light does not pose such problems because it operates at a low voltage (12V). The heat generation of LED Flexible Light itself is low. However, rises in temperature due to heat accumulation depend on whether it is used in a stretched state or in a wound state. It is recommended to avoid using it under highly adverse conditions (for example, installing LED Flexible Light on a black base, in a wound state, and lighting it during the daytime under direct sunlight). Although such adverse conditions are unlikely to cause a fire, they may lead to heat deformation. |
