While LED strips are generally safe, some risks still exist if not installed or used properly:
- Overheating: LED strips can overheat if they are installed in closed or poorly ventilated spaces. Always ensure that the installation area has adequate airflow to prevent excessive heat buildup.
- Electrical Hazards: Using incompatible power supplies, poor-quality connectors, or faulty wiring can cause electrical issues. Always match the voltage of the power supply to the specifications of the LED strips.
- Fire Risks: Although rare, fire hazards can arise if the strips are placed near flammable materials, installed incorrectly, or if the strips themselves are of subpar quality.
