3.1 Surface Preparation
Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust, oil, or moisture can affect the adhesive's effectiveness. Recommended surfaces include smooth ceramic tile, marble, metal, wood, and plastic. Avoid rough or textured surfaces like knitted fabrics, dusty walls, or rough plastic.
3.2 Applying the Strip Lights
- Unroll the desired length of the LED strip.
- Remove the adhesive backing from the strip.
- Carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface, ensuring it adheres firmly without air bubbles.
- For additional security, use the provided mounting clips at regular intervals or at corners. Peel off the adhesive tape from the clip and apply it to the surface, then secure the strip light within the clip. Screws can be used for further reinforcement if desired.
