Figure 4: Visual guide for installation steps.

1. Step 1: Determine Placement. Install the string lights 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) away from the wall surface for optimal lighting effect.
2. Step 2: Prepare Surface. Use a rag or towel to clean the wall surface thoroughly before installing the light strip. Ensure the surface is dry and free of dust or debris.
3. Step 3: Apply Adhesive. Tear off the VHB gum pad on the back of each light unit.
4. Step 4: Press and Secure. Press each light unit firmly against the wall surface for more than 5 seconds to ensure proper adhesion.
5. Step 5: Use Clips for Security. The strip light comes with a pack of screw clips. Use these clips to further secure the lights, especially in areas exposed to wind or moisture.
6. Step 6: Connect Multiple Strings (Optional). You can expand the lighting length by splicing multiple 32.8ft strip lights together using the waterproof splice head at the end of each strip. Ensure connections are secure and waterproof.
7. Step 7: Use Extension Cord (Optional). A 10ft extension cord is included if you need to increase the length of the power connection.
