Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly are front caps and end caps?

They're those handy little covers that go on the ends of your LED strips or neon flex. Front caps go on the visible, cut front of your lighting, while end caps typically go on the back where the power connects. Think of them as the full stop at the end of your lighting sentence! They keep everything looking neat and tidy, protect the internal bits from damage, and stop moisture getting in where it shouldn't.

Do I really need caps for my LED strips or neon flex?

If you want your installation to look professional and last a long time, then absolutely! Without proper end caps, you're leaving the electrical components exposed to dust, moisture and damage. Plus, let's be honest, exposed LED ends just look a bit unfinished, don't they? For the small cost of adding caps, you'll get a much cleaner look and better protection for your lighting.

Are your caps waterproof?

Many of them certainly are! We offer IP65-rated waterproof caps that are perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, gardens, or anywhere else that might get a bit damp. These special caps create a watertight seal that keeps moisture away from the electrical components of your LED strips or neon flex. Just look for "waterproof" or "IP65" in the product description.

How do I know which caps will fit my LED strips or neon flex?

Great question! The key is to match the size and shape. For LED strips, check the width of your strip (usually 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm). For neon flex, you'll need to know both dimensions (like 8x16mm or 10x20mm). We clearly list the compatible sizes in each product description. If you're not sure, just measure your lighting or check its packaging, and if you're still stuck, give us a shout!

Do I need different caps for different types of LED lighting?

Yes, you do! LED strips, neon flex, and profile-mounted strips all need different types of caps. Even within those categories, different sizes and styles need matching caps. The good news is we stock caps for pretty much every type of LED lighting we sell, so you can always find the perfect match. Just make sure you're looking at caps specifically designed for your lighting type.

How do I install end caps?

It couldn't be easier! Most push gently into place or clip on. For the best waterproof seal, we recommend adding a tiny dab of clear silicone sealant before pushing the cap on. This creates an extra layer of protection against moisture. For caps with wire holes, just thread your connection wires through before pushing the cap into place. No special tools required!

Do I need special caps if I'm connecting power to my LED strips?

If you're connecting power to the end of your LED strip or neon flex, you'll need an end cap with a wire hole or channel. These special caps have a small opening or tunnel that allows the wires to pass through while still protecting the connection. We have plenty of these in stock – just look for "with wire hole" or "with power connector" in the product name.

Can I remove and reuse end caps?

In most cases, yes! Our caps are designed to fit securely but can typically be removed carefully if needed. That said, if you've used silicone sealant for waterproofing, the caps might be more permanently attached. If you think you might need to remove the caps in future, consider using a removable adhesive rather than silicone.

What's the difference between front caps and end caps?

Front caps are designed for the visible, cut end of your lighting – the bit people will actually see. They tend to be more decorative and focused on providing a clean finish. End caps usually go on the back or power end and often include openings for wires. Many installations need both types for a completely finished look!
