Frequently Asked Questions
Is this safe to leave on overnight in my child's bedroom or nursery?
Yes. The kit runs on 12V DC low voltage, stays cool to the touch, and is ETL listed, so it is safe for continuous overnight use around children when installed as directed.
How does it compare to burning candles for ambient light — is it really safer?
It is dramatically safer. There is no open flame, no hot wax, no smoke, and no soot, so the risk of fire, burns, or indoor air quality issues is effectively eliminated.
My cat knocks everything off shelves — will the lights burn her if she chews them?
The 12V DC system runs cool, and while you should always discourage pets from chewing cords, the low voltage and low heat output make this a far safer option than halogen or incandescent lighting.
Does the adapter get hot during use, or could it be a fire risk?
The ETL-listed adapter is engineered to stay within safe temperature limits, and the 12V DC system means there is no high-voltage current running through the bars or strip near your furniture.
Is the light safe to mount near curtains, paper, or fabric in a closet?
Yes. Because the LEDs run cool and the voltage is low, the kit is rated for use inside closets and is far safer near fabric than incandescent or halogen bulbs that produce high heat.
I'm replacing old halogen under-cabinet lights — is this a safer upgrade?
Absolutely. Halogen bulbs can reach several hundred degrees and are a known fire risk in enclosed cabinetry. The WOBANE kit operates cool, uses low voltage, and is ETL listed, making it a major safety upgrade.
What happens if the strip or bar gets wet in the kitchen?
While the kit is not designed for submersion, low-voltage DC systems are inherently safer around incidental splashes than line-voltage lighting, and the adapter includes standard safety protections.
Does the light stay cool enough that I can touch it after hours of use?
Yes. The LEDs and aluminum housing stay comfortably cool to the touch even after extended use, so there is no burn risk during normal operation or adjustment.
Is there a timer so the light turns off automatically and I don't have to remember?
Through the Wi-Fi app you can set schedules and count-down timers that turn the lights off automatically, so you never have to worry about leaving them on overnight or while out of the house.
How does this compare to plug-in wall sconces with exposed bulbs for a kid's room?
Unlike exposed bulb fixtures, the WOBANE kit is fully enclosed, runs cool, operates at low voltage, and mounts out of reach under cabinets or behind furniture, eliminating the burn and break risks of traditional sconces.
Will the adhesive fail in heat and cause the bars to fall?
The industrial adhesive is rated for typical household temperature ranges including warm kitchens, and once cured provides a reliable, long-term bond on properly prepared surfaces.
If a bar is damaged, is there a risk of electric shock?
The system runs on 12V DC, which is well below the threshold considered hazardous for electric shock, so even a damaged bar is far safer than a damaged line-voltage fixture.
Does the product carry any third-party safety certifications?
Yes. The included power adapter is ETL listed, meaning it has been independently tested and certified to North American electrical safety standards.
Can I use it in a closed cabinet or drawer without overheating?
LED technology produces very little heat, and the 12V DC system is safe for enclosed installations. Just ensure the adapter itself is in a ventilated location.
I have asthma — is there any odor or off-gassing from these lights?
No. Unlike scented candles or some lower-quality LED strips, the WOBANE kit produces no fragrance, no smoke, and no VOCs, so it is safe for sensitive household members.
If I forget it on for a week, is there a fire risk?
No. The cool-running LEDs, low-voltage operation, and ETL-listed adapter are designed for long-duration use, so leaving the kit on for a week poses no greater fire risk than a phone charger.
How do I install the WOBANE under cabinet lighting kit?
Clean the mounting surface with isopropyl alcohol, peel the backing off the adhesive on each bar or strip, press firmly in place for 15 to 30 seconds, connect the bars or strip to the in-line switch, and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. No tools, screws, or drilling are required.
How do I switch between warm white, white, and natural white?
Use the in-line 2-way switch to cycle through the three color temperature settings, or open the Wi-Fi app for finer control and to save your preferred tone as a preset.
Can I cut the COB strip to fit a shorter length?
Yes. The COB strip has marked cut points every inch or so. Cut only on those marked lines, then seal the cut end with a small amount of silicone or a cap to protect the circuitry.
Does this work with Alexa or Google Home?
The Wi-Fi-enabled version pairs with the companion app and integrates with common smart home ecosystems for voice control of on/off, brightness, and color temperature.
Is this compatible with dimmer switches already in my wall?
The kit is designed to be dimmed through the app or in-line switch, not through a wall dimmer. Connecting it to a line-voltage dimmer can cause flicker and is not recommended.
What is included in the box?
The box includes either four 20-inch LED bars or a 6.56 ft COB continuous strip (depending on the variant), an in-line 2-way switch, an ETL-listed 12V DC power adapter, cable management clips, and an instruction sheet. Everything needed for installation is in the box.
Is the product safe and reliable for long-term daily use?
Yes. The ETL-listed adapter, 12V DC operation, and rated LED lifespan of 25,000+ hours make the kit safe and reliable for years of daily use in kitchens, offices, closets, and other residential spaces.
What should I do if a bar stops working after install?
First, check that the connector is fully seated at the in-line switch and that the adapter is firmly plugged in. If the issue persists, contact WOBANE customer service for troubleshooting and warranty support.
How does under cabinet LED lighting differ from regular LED strip lights?
Under cabinet LED kits are purpose-built with high-CRI task-grade LEDs, a low-profile aluminum housing or COB diffuser, certified low-voltage power, and mounting hardware designed for furniture. Generic LED strips are often lower CRI, run hotter, lack safety certifications, and are not optimized for furniture mounting.
