Setup
- Unpack and Inspect: Carefully unroll the LED strip and inspect it for any visible damage. Ensure all components are present.
- Determine Length: Measure the desired length for your installation. The Flex60 LED strip can be cut at every meter mark, indicated by a cutting symbol on the strip. Use sharp scissors for a clean cut.
- Connect Power Cable: Attach the provided power cable with the overcurrent protection plug to the cut end of the LED strip. Ensure a secure and proper connection.
- Waterproofing (for Outdoor Use): If installing outdoors, apply the provided waterproof glue to seal the connection point between the power cable and the LED strip. This ensures the IP65 rating is maintained.
- Mounting: Secure the LED strip to your desired surface using appropriate mounting clips or adhesive (not included). Ensure the surface is clean and dry for optimal adhesion.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| LED strip does not light up. | No power supply; loose connection; faulty power plug. | Check if the power plug is securely inserted into a working outlet. Ensure the connection between the strip and the power cable is firm. Test the outlet with another device. |
| Part of the LED strip is not lighting. | Damage to a section of the strip; improper cut. | Inspect the unlit section for visible damage or a faulty cut. If a section is damaged, it may require replacement of that segment or the entire strip. |
| Light flickers or is inconsistent. | Loose connection; unstable power supply; incompatible dimmer (if used). | Check all connections. Ensure the power supply is stable. If using a dimmer, ensure it is compatible with LED strip lights. |
| Dimming function not working. | Incompatible dimmer; dimmer not connected correctly. | Ensure the external dimmer is specifically designed for LED strip lights and is correctly installed according to its instructions. |
