3. Safety Information

Please adhere to the following safety guidelines to prevent damage to the product or personal injury:

  • Ensure the power supply is disconnected before installation or maintenance.
  • This product is designed for indoor use only. Avoid exposure to water or high humidity.
  • Do not bend the LED strip at sharp angles (less than 90 degrees) to prevent damage to the circuit board.
  • Do not connect the LED strip directly to AC power without the provided adapter.
  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not cover the LED strip with flammable materials when in operation.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper setup and installation:

  1. Prepare the Surface: Clean the desired installation surface thoroughly. Ensure it is dry, smooth, and free of dust or oil. The adhesive works best on clean, non-textured surfaces.
  2. Plan the Layout: The product includes two 50 ft rolls. Note that each 50 ft section connects separately to the controller. If you need 100 ft of continuous lighting, the controller must be placed in the middle, with one 50 ft strip extending in each direction.
  3. Connect the Strips: Connect the LED strip(s) to the IR receiver/controller box. Ensure the arrows on the connectors align with the "+24V" marking on the strip for correct polarity.
  4. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into the IR receiver/controller box, then plug the adapter into a standard wall outlet.
  5. Adhere the Strips: Carefully peel off the adhesive backing from the LED strip. Press the strip firmly onto the prepared surface, working in small sections to ensure a secure bond. Avoid stretching the strip during application.

Important Note on Power Module Placement: The power module has a relatively short cord. Consider using a thin extension cord if your desired installation point is far from an outlet, especially if installing at ceiling level. Ensure the module is supported to prevent strain on the strip connector.
