4.2 Mounting the LED Strip

The LED strip is flexible and can be shaped or bent. Use the provided LED light holders to secure the strip to your desired surface. For permanent installations, additional mounting solutions like 3M double-sided tape (not included) may be used.

4.3 Cutting the LED Strip

The LED strip can be cut to your desired length. Look for the designated cutting marks along the strip, typically every 1.64ft (0.5m). Cut only at these marks to avoid damaging the rest of the strip. After cutting, ensure the exposed end is sealed with the provided end cap to maintain waterproofing.
