- Use it where lengths vary - a run of cabinets at different widths, short shelves, display niches. On a long straight cove it offers no advantage over standard tape.
- Cut square across the copper pads - with sharp scissors, tape flat on a surface. A ragged or angled cut makes connecting far harder.
- Order connectors with the tape - every cut end needs a solder joint or a clip connector, matched to the 8mm board width. Buy spares.
- Pick the colour temperature by room - 2700K or 3000K for living spaces, 4000K for kitchens, 6500K for display and garages.
- Pick the voltage by run length - 12V under about 16 feet, 24V beyond.
- Fit it in a channel and size the driver at load plus 20 percent.
Cut it anywhere along the run
Standard LED tape can only be cut at marked points, usually every 50 or 100mm. That is fine until a cabinet measures 847mm and the nearest cut point leaves you 50mm short at one end.
Free-cut tape has its cut points close enough together that you can effectively cut it to any length. On a run of joinery where every section is a different size, that turns a compromise into an exact fit.

| Job | Standard tape | Free-cut |
|---|---|---|
| Long straight cove | Fine | No advantage |

| Display niches | Compromised | Exact |
Cutting cleanly
Use sharp scissors and cut square across the copper pads, not at an angle. A ragged cut makes soldering or clipping a connector far harder. Cut with the tape flat on a surface, not held in the air.
You still need a connector at every cut
Free-cut means you can cut anywhere. It does not mean the cut end powers itself. Each cut section needs either a solder joint or a clip connector, and the connector has to match the board width. Order a few spares with the tape.
