Setup
Installation Steps
Follow these steps to install your LED light strip:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the surface where you intend to install the LED strip is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. This will ensure optimal adhesion.
- Measure and Plan: Before peeling the adhesive, temporarily position the LED strip to determine the best placement. The strip is 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and can be easily conformed to the back of most TVs or monitors up to 65 inches.
- Peel the Adhesive: Carefully peel off the protective backing from the adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Peel only a small section at a time to prevent the adhesive from sticking to itself.
