5. Setup and Installation
5.1 Preparation
- Ensure you have a compatible 12V DC power supply (not included).
- Clean the surface where the LED strip will be installed to ensure proper adhesion of clips.
5.2 Planning Your Layout
Measure the area where you intend to install the LED strip. The strip is highly flexible, allowing you to create various shapes and designs.

5.3 Cutting the LED Strip
The LED strip can be cut to your desired length. Look for the black dashed lines on the back of the strip; these indicate safe cutting points. The strip is cuttable every 2.5cm.

5.4 Mounting
Use the provided holder clips to secure the LED strip in place. Space the clips evenly along the strip for stable installation.
5.5 Wiring
Connect the 2-pin wire from the LED strip to your 12V DC power supply. Ensure correct polarity (positive to positive, negative to negative) to avoid damage.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the LED strip is securely installed and wired to a compatible 12V DC power supply, simply turn on the power supply to illuminate the strip. Turn off the power supply to switch off the lights.

7. Maintenance
7.1 Cleaning
To clean the LED strip, gently wipe it with a dry or slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the silicone casing.
7.2 Inspection
Periodically inspect the LED strip and its wiring for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or discoloration. Ensure all connections remain secure.
7.3 Waterproofing
The LED strip is IP67 waterproof, making it suitable for outdoor use. However, ensure that all electrical connections (e.g., where the strip connects to the power supply) are properly sealed and protected from moisture to maintain safety and functionality.

8. Troubleshooting
- Light not turning on: Check if the 12V DC power supply is connected and functioning. Verify that the 2-pin wire is correctly connected to the power supply with the right polarity. Inspect the strip for any visible damage.
- Flickering lights: Ensure the power supply is stable and provides sufficient current for the length of the strip. Check all connections for looseness.
- Partial lighting: If only a section of the strip is not lighting up, it might indicate damage to that segment or an issue at a cut point. Ensure cuts were made precisely on the marked lines.
9. User Tips
- Always plan your desired layout and measure carefully before cutting the LED strip.
- Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated, especially for outdoor installations.
- For longer runs, consider using a power supply with adequate wattage to prevent voltage drop and ensure consistent brightness along the entire strip.
