Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for a successful installation:
- Preparation: Ensure the installation surface is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Unspool the Strips: Before powering on, completely unspool the LED strips from the reel. This prevents overheating and potential damage to the strips.
- Adhesive Application: The LED strips come with upgraded high-adhesive double-sided tape. Peel off the protective backing and firmly press the strip onto the desired surface.
- Connecting Components: Connect the LED strip to the controller box, ensuring the arrows on the connectors are pointed to each other. This ensures proper electrical connection. Then, connect the power adapter to the controller box and plug it into a power outlet.
- Cutting the Strips (Optional): The LED strips are customizable and can be cut at designated cut marks. Note that 4-pin LED strip connectors are not included for extending length.
- Important Note: Do not fold the LED strips to make contact with each other while the lights are on, as this can cause a short circuit and damage the lights.
