▾
The R2ARDT-S827-WT LED Trim comes with a five-year limited warranty from Starlight Lighting. The warranty covers premature LED failure under normal operating conditions, but does not include damage caused by improper installation, voltage spikes, or unauthorized modifications. Proof of purchase and registration are required to claim warranty service.
Does the LED Trim require a special driver?
▾
Yes, the R2ARDT-S827-WT operates on a constant 24 V DC supply and is best paired with a driver that supports 0-10 V or PWM dimming. Using a compatible driver ensures smooth dimming without flicker and protects the LEDs from voltage fluctuations. Starlight Lighting provides a recommended driver in the product package.
How does the CRI of this trim affect colour perception?
▾
The CRI of 90 or higher means the LED trim reproduces colours very close to how they appear under natural light, which is critical for retail displays and art installations. Accurate colour rendering helps merchandise retain its true hues, reduces the need for additional lighting, and enhances visual comfort for viewers.
Is the LED Trim suitable for outdoor use?
▾
The R2ARDT-S827-WT is designed for indoor applications and does not have an IP rating for moisture protection. While it can be installed in dry interior environments, exposure to humidity, rain, or direct sunlight can shorten its lifespan and affect performance. For outdoor projects, choose a trim with an appropriate IP rating.
Can the LED Trim be cut to custom lengths?
▾
Yes, the strip can be trimmed at the designated cut marks, typically every 500 mm, without damaging the circuitry. After cutting, the end must be sealed with a compatible connector or heat-shrink tubing to maintain electrical integrity. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure safe and reliable operation after modification.
