5. Installation

The NOVOSTELLA LED strip lights offer two primary installation methods: using the pre-applied self-adhesive backing or securing with the included mounting screws.

Preparation:

1. Unroll the LED strip completely before powering it on to prevent overheating.
2. Clean the installation surface thoroughly. Ensure it is dry, smooth, and free of dust or grease for optimal adhesion.
3. Plan your desired layout. Avoid sharp bends.

Method 1: Self-Adhesive Backing

1. Peel off a small section of the protective film from the adhesive backing.
2. Carefully press the exposed adhesive part of the strip onto the cleaned surface.
3. Continue peeling the film and pressing the strip firmly along your desired path, ensuring good contact.

Method 2: Mounting Screws

For rougher surfaces or enhanced security, use the provided mounting screws:

1. Position the LED strip along your desired path.
2. Use the included clips and screws to secure the strip at regular intervals, typically every 1-2 feet, or as needed to ensure stability.
3. Ensure the screws do not pierce the LED strip itself.

Connecting the Power:

1. Connect the LED strip to the RF remote controller.
2. Connect the RF remote controller to the power adapter.
3. Plug the power adapter into a suitable power outlet.
