There are a few potential reasons why your LED strip lights aren’t turning off. In this article, we’ll explore each of them and offer some solutions to help you get your lights working properly again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To Summarize, here’s a list of the things that can potentially cause your LED strip lights not to turn off;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stick around as I share with you the details of each one of these problems and how you can fix them so that your LED strip lights turn off when you want them to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the main reasons why your LED strip light is not turning off is because it has what’s called “stand-by current.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stand-by current is a small amount of current that flows through the controller even when it’s turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In some cases, this will not allow your LED strip light to turn off completely. The ways these stand-by features are intended to work is by allowing your LED light to turn on again quickly after being turned off or allowing indicator lights or other features to work still while the LED light is off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This type of issue is often diagnosed by looking at the LED light’s power consumption when it’s turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there is still a small amount of power being consumed, even when the LED light is turned off, then it’s likely that the controller has some stand-by current.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution to this problem is to find a professional who can help you disable the stand-by current feature on your controller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not something that most people will be able to do on their own and will likely require the help of someone who is familiar with LED lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another potential reason why your LED strip light is not turning<\/a> off is that the light itself has a capacitor that stores energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is most common in older LED lights, but it’s still something that can happen with newer lights as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When an LED light is turned off, the capacitor will release the stored energy back into the light. This can cause the light to turn on again or stay on, even when it’s supposed to be turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution to this can also be a little bit tricky for most people, so I would strongly advise you to consult a professional near you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re up for it, you can just replace the capacitor with a new one. However, in other cases, you may need to replace the entire LED strip light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Again, if you’re not comfortable doing this on your own, I would highly recommend finding a professional to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is not a problem that you want to mess around with if you’re not sure what you’re doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, the timer settings of your LED strip light may be causing it not to turn off. If you have a timer set for your light, it’s possible that the timer is not set correctly and is causing the light to stay on longer than it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of the LED strip lights<\/a> on the market today have a lot of unique features that allow them to make life very easy. With these highly advanced LED strip lights, we are able to schedule when they should turn on or off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A lot of these LED strip lights are compatible with sensors and dimmer switches so that they can turn on or off based on when someone enters or leaves the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But when some of these advanced features malfunction, the result can be an LED strip light that does not turn off when it’s supposed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The solution to this is pretty straightforward, you just need to check the timer settings on your LED strip light and make sure that they’re set correctly. In most cases, you will simply have to reset the timer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The next potential reason why your LED strip light is not turning off has to do with the power supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In some cases, the power supply may not be shutting off completely when the LED light is turned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This can happen for a number of reasons, but it’s often the result of a faulty power supply. This happens very frequently and will require the services of an expert to have it rectified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n3. The Timer Settings Of The LED Strip Light<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
