5V USB Motion Sensor LED Strip – Hands-free lighting at your fingertips
Whether your hands are covered in flour while cooking or you’re busy with a DIY project, you shouldn’t have to fumble for a light switch. This motion-sensor LED strip provides the perfect solution: simply wave your hand 2–5 cm from the sensor to turn the light on or off instantly. No touching, no switches, and no hassle.
Note: The USB power source (mains adapter, power bank, or laptop) is not included. The strip is compatible with any standard 5V USB port.

Performance and Specifications
SMD 2835 LEDs are among the most efficient in their class, delivering superior brightness with lower power consumption compared to older SMD 3528 models. The 6000K–6500K (cool white) colour temperature provides a crisp, clean light—perfect for illuminating worktops, bathroom mirrors, or the inside of wardrobes.
The proximity sensor reacts in a fraction of a second within a 2–5 cm range—sensitive enough for effortless control, yet precise enough to avoid accidental activation. The silicone protective coating maintains the strip’s flexibility and allows it to be cut to size at designated points without affecting the remaining segments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the sensor work—do I need to hold my hand there?
A quick wave of the hand within 2–5 cm of the sensor is all it takes. The first wave turns the light on, and the second turns it off. There is no need to hold your hand still or make physical contact.
What power source can I use if I don’t have a USB adapter?
Any device with a 5V USB output will work, such as a phone charger plug, laptop, computer, power bank, or USB hub.
Can I cut the strip if I need less than 3 metres?
Yes. The strip features clearly marked cutting points. Simply use scissors to cut at these marks, and the remaining length will continue to function perfectly. Please note that cut-off segments cannot be reconnected.
Is it suitable for outdoor use, like a balcony or garage?
This strip is designed for indoor use. It is suitable for semi-covered areas like enclosed balconies, garages, or sheds, provided it is not exposed to direct rain or extreme temperatures.
