Why would you need to repair LED strip lighting? LEDs don't normally have a lifespan limit, or at least not one measured in months.
And all the LED lighting I've ever seen is repairable; you just need a soldering iron to do it. The individual LEDs are usually very easy to get access to.
- joshspankit 4y agoIt may be that you’re talking about LED strip meaning “flexible PCB with LEDs on it’s surface”, but OP is meaning “strip of LEDs permanently glued in to a larger piece”
- jerf 4y ago"LEDs don't normally have a lifespan limit" So the theory goes. The reality does not agree. "And all the LED lighting I've ever seen is repairable; you just need a soldering iron to do it" That is not repairable. Some of the ones I was looking at were so fancy that I wouldn't even guarantee that you could get them back together if you did take them apart, though. Wouldn't take much for those delicate plastic bits to break permanently.

I'd say that's not repairable either, by your definition, because it requires special tools. If something can't be repaired realistically without destroying it (like a Microsoft Surface laptop), that's "not repairable". Needing a soldering iron is not a big deal.
