Setup and Installation
1. Surface Preparation
Ensure the surface where the LED strips will be installed is clean, dry, and smooth. Dust, dirt, or moisture can significantly reduce the adhesive's effectiveness. Wipe the surface with a clean cloth if necessary.
2. Adhesion
The LED strips feature an upgraded strong self-adhesive backing for easy application. Carefully peel off the protective film from the adhesive side of the strip and firmly press the strip onto the desired surface. Apply even pressure along the entire length of the strip to ensure secure adhesion.

While the adhesive is strong, it is also designed to be removable without significant damage to most painted walls. However, exercise caution when removing, especially from delicate surfaces.
