2. Safety Information
- This product operates at a safe 24V DC voltage.
- Ensure the power supply (adapter) is compatible with 24V DC and has sufficient wattage for the strip length. An incompatible power supply can damage the strip or pose a fire hazard.
- Do not connect the LED strip directly to 110V/220V AC power without a proper 24V DC power adapter.
- The strip is IP65 waterproof, meaning it is protected against water jets. It is suitable for damp locations but should not be submerged in water.
- Always disconnect power before installation, cutting, or maintenance.
- Avoid bending the strip sharply at angles less than 90 degrees to prevent damage to the internal circuitry.
- Keep out of reach of children.

4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Wipe the area thoroughly to remove dust, oil, or moisture.
- Measure and Cut (Optional): If a shorter length is required, measure the desired length. The strip can be cut at designated cutting marks (every 1.63 inches / 41.5mm), located in the middle of the copper points. Use sharp scissors for a clean cut.
- Apply the Strip: Peel off the backing from the 3M adhesive tape on the back of the LED strip. Carefully press the strip onto the prepared surface, ensuring firm contact along its entire length. The strip is flexible and can be bent at angles up to ±90° for corners.
- Connect to Power: Connect the LED strip to a compatible 24V DC power adapter (sold separately). Ensure the polarity is correct (+ to + and - to -).
- Add Dimmer/Controller (Optional): If using a dimmer or controller (sold separately), connect it between the power adapter and the LED strip according to the dimmer's instructions.
- Power On: Plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet to turn on the lights.

5. Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Connect or disconnect the power adapter from the electrical outlet to turn the strip light on or off.
- Dimming: If a compatible dimmer is installed, use its controls (remote, app, or physical switch) to adjust the brightness of the LED strip.
- Connectivity: If using a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth compatible controller, follow the controller's specific instructions for pairing with your device and controlling the light via app.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Ensure the power is off before cleaning. Gently wipe the strip with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure no water enters the electrical connections.
- Inspection: Periodically check the strip and connections for any signs of damage, wear, or loose connections.
- Adhesion: If the adhesive begins to lose its grip, reinforce it with additional adhesive clips or appropriate mounting solutions.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light strip does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, faulty power adapter, incorrect polarity. | Check power outlet. Ensure all connections are secure. Verify power adapter is working and connected correctly (24V DC). Check for correct polarity (+ to +, - to -). |
| Light strip is dim or flickers. | Insufficient power supply, faulty dimmer, damaged strip section. | Ensure power adapter wattage is sufficient for the strip length. Check dimmer connections and functionality. Inspect the strip for physical damage. |
| Section of the strip is not lighting up. | Damage to that section, improper cut, faulty connector. | Inspect the unlit section for physical damage or improper cuts. Re-check connector installation if applicable. |
| Adhesive is not holding. | Surface not clean/dry, unsuitable surface material, environmental factors. | Ensure surface is thoroughly cleaned and dry before application. Use additional mounting clips or stronger adhesive if needed. |
