Terms of Use and Safety Disclaimer

What these terms cover

These terms apply to everything published on adyes.top — the troubleshooting guides, the background articles, and the app support pages. By reading the site or acting on anything it describes, you accept them. The short version is easy to state: the guides are general information, written with care but without any knowledge of your specific product, your wiring, or your skills, and both the decisions in a repair and the risk of a repair remain yours.

The guidance is general; your product is specific

Every procedure on this site describes common designs of LED strips, controllers, power supplies, string lights, grow lights and smart lighting. Manufacturers differ — in terminal layouts, connector polarity, voltage families, radio protocols, and ratings — and a guide cannot know which variant is on your bench. Wherever a guide disagrees with the product's own manual, its nameplate, or a regulation that applies where you live, those sources win. Nothing here is professional electrical, engineering, or safety advice, and no guide creates any relationship of that kind.

Where do-it-yourself work ends

The guides are deliberately scoped to extra-low-voltage work: adapter outputs, 5 V/12 V/24 V strips and controllers, battery-powered products, and vehicle accessory circuits, worked on with power removed. That scope is comparable to ordinary household maintenance. Work on the mains side — fixed wiring, wall switches, ceiling fixtures connected to house wiring, consumer units, and the input side of drivers — is regulated in most jurisdictions and is typically reserved for licensed electricians. The same boundary applies in vehicles: airbag wiring, CAN bus, and any circuit the manufacturer classes as safety-relevant belong to a qualified technician. When a guide stops at that line, it has not run out of ideas; it has stopped on purpose, and so should you.

Safety and liability

Incorrect wiring, mismatched power supplies, live measurement, and poor soldering can damage equipment, start fires, or injure people. Work de-energised by default, verify before touching, and stop when something smells burnt, looks melted, or keeps blowing a correctly rated fuse. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the content of this site is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, and Long-Term New Media Limited accepts no liability for damage, loss, or injury arising from its use. Opening a sealed product can also void its manufacturer warranty — check before the first screw comes out.

Advertising and third parties

The site is funded by advertising served by Google; the privacy policy explains the cookies involved and how to control personalised ads. Advertisers have no influence on what the guides say, and no guide recommends a specific brand or retailer. The app support pages link to official FAQ pages operated by the app developer on its own domain; those pages are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and this site is not responsible for their content.
