Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED lighting kit:

• Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED components and cables with a soft, dry cloth if dust accumulates. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: If disassembling the kit for storage, carefully disconnect components and store them in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight.
• Battery Replacement: If using batteries, replace them when lights dim significantly. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your lighting kit, consider the following:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check all cable connections to ensure they are secure and properly seated in the expansion boards.
  • Verify the power source. If using batteries, ensure they are fresh and correctly inserted. If using USB, confirm the USB port is active and providing power.
  • Ensure the voltage is within the specified range (less than 1A 5V).
• Lights Are Dim:
  • If using batteries, they may be low. Try replacing them or switching to USB power for a brighter effect.
  • Ensure all connections are firm. Loose connections can reduce power flow.
• Flickering Lights:
  • Check for loose connections at the LED components or expansion boards.
  • Ensure the power source is stable.
