5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED strip lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strips with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the strip is completely dry before powering on.
- Water Resistance: While the LED strips are waterproof (IP65), they are not designed for submersion. The power supply and controller are not waterproof and must be protected from moisture.
- Adhesive Longevity: If the adhesive begins to lose its stickiness over time, especially in high-humidity or fluctuating temperature environments, consider using additional mounting clips or stronger adhesive tape for reinforcement.
