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.
